Journal Entry for August 25, 2008 Mood
Monday, August 25, 2008 | A General Update story

Hi Friends !  Just a note to let you know what is happening in our life.

There were problems with the Effexor prescription and after a couple of days the doctor gave us

some Lexapro to start. We had a pretty good weekend and really bad spells. We go back in 2 months to discuss the new meds. Today Hubby went to the Urologist. Everything is in order and the only problem is the incontinance. There is improvement the last couple of days so hopefully it might work out. On my doctor homefront. I went to Rheumatologist and everything is working. 

Taking me off Methotrexate has taken away the liver problems. Good News! 

So for the first time in 5 - 6 months we don't have doctors appointment for awhile. Hooray !!!

Still working of our journal and I think I will reach my goal.  I appreciate you all and really kind of amazed that an internet support group can mean so much in our everyday lives. There are so many special people here and the caring just comes through.  Blessings to you all.

    I've know others who use Lexapro and thought it worked well. You know it takes a month or so to work? You sound good....I'm still waiting to see if the kids are coming for Labor Day. If anything develops I'll call.
    Love....

    I'm so glad you are both doing well! I've been on Lexapro before, it worked quite well for me, I pray it works well for your hub too. My prayers are with you that you continue to have many more good days ahead. Keep strong! Many prayers, ((hugs)) and LOLove, Connie
