Really, the statistics show that 5 out of six of us will live til we die...ummm, I mean, not from suicide. Those are the statistics, right? So, therefore, there must be some Old BPII people out there who have dealt with this illness for their (almost) whole lives.
My questions are, what are you taking? How long has it worked? What is your quality of life?
I am sure, like many who I have read here, it has been a mixed bag. Sometimes meds work, sometimes they don't. A big part of living with BPII is learning how to diagnose oneself, to manage one's life, have a good doctor(s) and strive for stability.
Perhaps the people I am looking for are not posting on this site? Perhaps the people who are living with their illness successfully in old age either don't need to investigate new treatment, don't "know" they are ill, or, aren't computer internet literate.
If you are out there, share, please?
