PMS in a Handbasket--Don't be afraid, just bring us food... Part 13

[Tigger&Belle]

Eat, Paige? First of all, I do believe we have a pot/kettle thing going on here... and second of all, I had my little bowl of Grape Nuts. Pretty good, if I do say so myself. I promise I will not blow away in the wind. Oh, I decided to go off the Topamax, but (see if this reasoning is something a woman would do) if I start to gain the weight back that I lost, I'm going back on it. Therefore, I'm not telling my neuro dr that I'm going off of it as of now. I'm I screwed up in my thinking or what?

I'll try e-mailing luv from a different e-mail account. One time my e-mail went into her bulk account. Maybe that happened with the last e-mail.

I'll only say this once, and with love:

What are you, NUTS? DON'T MESS WITH YOUR OWN MEDS. The Dr. gave them to you for a reason!

Oh, and I swear I thought that said you were going off of Tampax.

I can have a major pity party. Errr I AM having a major one.

Good-o on the Grapenuts.....

I had a poptart.....it's all the cafeteria had besides this thick glop they call oatmeal. I have to eat in the morning, or my meds will punish me.

Your reasoning seems quite sound, except for telling the neuro part. I do think you should tell the neuro it wasn't working so you stopped. I also believe you are supposed to taper off like you tapered on. Just sayin'............

Drink?

Oh wait... it's only 10am. But, since you haven't gone to sleep yet, you can still drink on yesterday.

why does luv leave us?
she may have been offended
since she is so chaste

Shhh you are the only one to figure that out!!

 

[paigevz]

No. Is it a better day for you?

I don't think such a thing is actually possible dollface.

No one would argue that you have all rights to one.

Good, but they last line is a lie.

haiku is the way I got luv to come back once.
I don't always have to tell the truth, as long as it's syllabicly correct.

LOL on the Tampax!

As to the Topamax...I know that the neuro wouldn't keep my on them if he knew they weren't helping. I don't think he'd mind me going off them (it's for migraine prevention).

If I tell the neuro and then go back on the meds, how would I explain that? See, it's rather complicated. And yes, not terribly wise. I don't know how long I should take to taper. I'm on 100mg (50mg/2xday) and I dropped one of the doses. So yes, a taper but a fast one. I figure I'll do this for a few days or maybe a week and then drop it (or maybe split the pill and go to half a tablet for a week--I don't know if I'm supposed to split them, though).

And really, I don't want to gain weight off the meds, but my appetite is really low right now. Too low, if I'm being truthful. I weigh what I did before ever having children (still have that damn poochy stomach, though ). Right now I'm fine, but I can't keep eating so little.

I just sent her another e-mail, this one from my hotmail account (maybe she'll read that as hot male and open it....we know if it was hot female she would ).

is that a real word? or is that more of that "syllable-correctness"?

Oops. That should be syllabically. I knew that.

 

[paigevz]

You should have titled it hot female Tig.

Yeah, split it and do half for a week, then drop it. I see, so you're saying you'll see your neuro before you're sure you're staying off it. Well, just tell him/her you're tapering off to see what happens.......

Robin, actually, many people on meds learn more about their meds than their dr.s do, and meds affect individuals differently........often people will adjust their own meds and when they tell their dr.s what they've done, the dr will often ask just what the results were and not blink an eye. You have to know your own condition, your med and have done your research, but Tig researches the crap out of everything.

I understand cutting your meds... just give your Dr. a call. Please.

Ok, forget what I said. Just let me introduce myself.

Hello, My name is POT. It's nice to meet you, kettle.

Very true, but this one is not a well thought out decision...totally emotional, P, not logical at all.

Well, irregardless, it sounded really smart!

I really wasn't trying to be snarky (even if it is Tuesday) that was just a new one on me! I thought I was gonna learn something!
