> Wow.... sounds like you have a busy weekend. I really hope you enjoy it..... you deserve a little....(hmmm... a lot) of mental relaxation. I'm really sorry the med's didn't work out for you.. but enjoy the upside($).... and hopefully your pdoc will get you on a super wonderful cocktail that'll work for ya. Are you on anything right now????? Again, I'm sorry for your dissapointed.. but you had to try, and you did. Can I ask... what kind of side effects did you experience? Pretty much the normal ones?

> P.s. HAPPY BIRTHDAY(in advance) '-)Hi Kristi,
Good to hear from you again. How are you
doing? How are you coping with your pain?
I am cooking my dinner as I chat with you.
You had asked me if I am on anything right now. I am on 80 mg Celexa, 10 mg Zyprexa, and
Ativan as a prn. Side effects on the research
med?? Yes. Akathesia. Akathesia is a medical
term for extreme fidgitness and restlessness. I
couldn't sit and read a book for more than 45
sec. It was awful. They said it would go away,
but it never did.Did you watch any of the World Series? I
thought sure that the Yankees would win, but I
was glad that Arizona won...I really was. This year I have been rooting for the San Diego
Chargers without too much upset. I don't know
if you have been following the Chargers; they
have been doing so-so with a record of 5 wins
and 3 losses.I have been looking over my e-mail and I
am noticing that I write sort of choppy. Sorry
about that.Well, I am going to sign off for now. I
hope you feel better as each day goes by. Take
care, Kristi!Glenn
