    About Me

    ADHD/Bipolar (though I argue the bipolar part as do most of my friends) I'm a lot of things; a Witch/Priestess, a Metaphysical Minister, a singer, a poet, a crafter (mostly jewelry now, but I've been known to make everything from leather goods to soaps), a wife, and overall crazy woman :) I have had people say that I am easy to talk to and damned near impossible to get to know LOL

    Interests

    LIFE in general - the magazine I work for, making jewelry for my own business (lanceandgrail.com) and keeping busy - so busy I've barely been here lately!!

      "Little League baseball is a good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets and the kids out of the house." "I wish I had an answer to that, because I'm tired of answering that question." "I knew exactly where it was, I just couldn't find it." "The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase." "You can observe a lot just by watching." Carmen (Yogi's Wife) said "I took Tim to see Doctor Zhivago today." Yogi replied, "What the hell's wrong with him now?" "If you don't know where you're going, chances are you will end up somewhere else." Yogi Berra Quotes --- he was quite the character!!

    • Close ADHD / ADD

      ADHD, PTSD, Bipolar and GAD - love to be creative, just hard to be so when you can't FOCUS!

      Treatments

      Adderall Working / Worked
      A bit manic at first, but if I cut my dosage a bit (reduce it by took myself from 20 mg twice a day to 10 mg 3 times - early morning midmorning and at lunch) I do well. Update - she had me up to 80 mg (20 4xdaily) and I was still crashing too hard. So now I am on 40 mg (20mg twice a day) of Adderall XR and 40 mg (twice daily) regular. I will keep you posted.
      Psychotherapy Too Soon to Tell
      So far, my therapist is a bit all over the map - but I have a long history to evalutate, so I can't and don't expect her to focus on just one thing at a time yet.
    • Close Food Allergies
      Type of allergy: Other Foods

      Found out I was allergic to corn after I had my gallbladder out - Dr said I probably always was, but that the surgery just made it even harder to digest!

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
      Avoiding corn is probably one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. Shopping is ALWAYS an adventure!
      Zyrtec Working / Worked
      For the most part if I take this before we go out to eat if there is hidden corn in something it doesn't bother me too badly.
