Today my dosage of Lithium was raised. I'm now taking 600mg both in the morning and evening. My nurse practitioner raised my daily dose by 300mg. I'm hoping this dosage change will help to balance me out so that I have less hypomania. Even though I'm feeling better I'm still very hypersexual and I want that to end. It's something that could get me in to trouble.
My appetite today has been bad. I've been eating everything in site and can't stop. I don't know if it's because of the medications I'm on or if it's stress eating. I just know that my morning glucose readings have been over 200 the last three days. I have to do something about my diet or I'm going to end up on insulin and I just won't deal with that well at all.
I'm going to get on the SparkPeople website and see about setting up a meal plan for myself. It's the only place on the Internet that's free. They also have trackers I can use to track my glucose readings, weight, or whatever I choose. I feel lazy because I 've used this site before and haven't been using it since I was told I was diabetic. I just know I have to do something NOW. I also got my new walking shoes and need to put them to good use and hit the pavement.
Tomorrow my uncle gets the results of his Pet Scan from his Oncologist and we'll finally know what we're dealing with. The Radiation Oncologist seemed very optimistic about him beating this cancer but I felt a little like she was giving us false hope. I hope I'm wrong about her and I pray that these doctors can help my uncle get a couple more good years of life.
I’m a 46 year old man who’s been dealing with Bipolar my entire life. It wasn’t until 2013 that I was diagnosed and this blog is my story. As you’ll see there’s been many lapses in my posting but I’m going to try and get back with it. I’ve had a lot of trouble during my lapses but I continue to remain optimistic about my bipolar hence the title Optimistic Bipolar.
