Good morning shinyitis folk. I was busy yesterday but things got resolved. The damn kid has a cold, and he passed it on to me. It's unpleasant, very hard to vape! I feel like I was back smoking again.... He also cooked me a great steak, but it was almost not worth it.
My pdoc was bemused, but yesterday I decided to creatively make immediate release Ritalin work for me... .That involved cutting it in half and taking it 6 times a day... But, it worked.
Pdoc gave me a bunch of immediate release Adderall and told me to "figure out" my dosage, then we'd try the ER. At least it was dirt cheap. I almost don't want to, but I have to (I'm still kinda spinning but yesterday was bearable) in case it DOESN'T work, no point waiting until I have *no* other stimulant left to go back to, LOL. So, it will probably be wonky for a while, but at least I have OPTIONS.
Shinyitis arrived yesterday, some of it. I got home at like 9 p.m. so I wasn't ripping into anything. LOL.
Here's hoping I can figure out this $15 dollar script, which I know rite? Wasn't it the "big bad stuff?" I guess everyone takes Ritalin now, but anyway, I win, due to being creative, I think. I can make SOMETHING work, whatever it winds up being. I get like that: mad at my meds, and demanding to myself I FIND a way to make them work, although 6 times a day is a total pain.
On a final note, the shinyitis thread is (and has been) a friendly place since the beginning, and you'd better believe I want it to remain so, it's not fair that one poster wants to make things hostile and I hope said person is over it, if not.... Well, I am partially responsible for this thread, and I am making a PLEA that it remains hospitable. If that changes, my plea will be different... and to different persons. So please, stop it.
Thanks.
Anna
