Friday Blahs

Depakote is still weirding me out. I've been having stomach problems (mainly serious heartburn); headaches - it's especially fun when it feels like I'm being stabbed in the eyes; tremor (kind of like the Albuterol jitters); tiredness; foot and leg cramps; and of course, the previously mentioned hair loss.


I just feel funky and grumpy and weird. And I wish that I didn't feel this way. :-/


Although, I do have a semi-happy thought, courtesy of Lewis Black:
"After 9/11, I'd think that gay marriage is on page six of things to be worried about, right beneath 'Are we eating too much garlic as an American people?'"

I'm going back in about 2 weeks ... and I had Depakote levels done this week, so I'll see what becomes of that.

In the meantime, I'm thinking that I may try to ride this out, since it's only 2 weeks ... but if it gets worse, I will call the doctor and let him know.

I hate it, too - but, it is a necessary evil.

And thank you. I appreciate that. :-)
