Day 55 "Doing Ok With Bell's Palsy So Far"

Well, this is the first morning since starting to take medication for Bell’s Palsy.  I took everything today as scheduled and as the day went along I felt better. I feel really good this evening.  I started out kind of slow this morning but as the day went along I was able to talk a little better and my body movements are much better than yesterday when I was stumbling around a lot.  I am on Prednisone and have been told that it will make you feel very good.  Who knows, I just know that if I continue in the direction I did today than I can live with it.

My overall mood was alright for the most part today.  I started out a little bit depressed and as the day went a long my depression got a lot better.  By dinner I wasn’t angry or irritated about anything.  The reason tonight may have been better mood wise is that I decided to take my klonopin as prescribed at 3mg per day instead of only taking 1.5mg.  The psychiatrist prescribed it for a reason and if it helps I have to go with it.  I’m not real happy about having to take a benzodiazepine three times a day because of the tolerance building and needing a larger dose but I have talked to many people who have used it for years with a lot of success.  But like the name Optimistic Bipolar I have to remain optimistic that my psychiatrist will find the correct combination of medications to keep me stable.
