Thanks Lynne, I guess it's the small things that matter. I was thinking that I was doing better until yesterday and today. Yesterday the whole day was shot and today started off good, but by mid afternoon, I was a mental mess. I just started taking my med in the morning, rather than at bedtime, because i was tired of not sleeping and I was hoping that would help. Could that be affecting me? Today I went from very high to a very low, almost crawling out of my own skin. I'm better this evening but earlier was a mess. I'm so tired of being this way.
