Journal Entry for September 26, 2007 Mood

I talked to my psych yesterday and based on the fact Wellbutrin has made me calmer he has changed my diagnosis from Bipolar to Depression/ ADHD. Apparently initial diagnoses are wrong and it takes some time to figure out the real diagnosis by observing how people tolerate different medications.  I have always felt I am ADHD but no one would listen to me. So the diagnosis doesn't surprise me. I'm just glad I'm going to on medication in the very near future so that I feel even better. ;)

Journal Entry for September 18, 2007 Mood

On Sunday night I consulted a medical intuitive, Dawne McDonald. I was skeptical but it turned out to meet my expectations. She told me things that I didn't share with her beforehand (I purposely left some things out).  The session was expensive, but I figure that, considering all the time and money I have wasted in mainstream medicine, in the long run it will save me money.

Mainstream medicine is lacking something. There is a whole side of the spectrum that we should be able to tap into and use, and cutting out intuitives and women's "natural" abilities to help and heal is such a tragedy. I began with mainstream medicine, only to be forced to branch out because it hasn't been able to give me a cure or diagnosis.  Is learning about chemistry or mathematics *really going to make someone a doctor who can cure or is it simply a bogus academic ploy for universiities to make more money? What about on the job training?  There wouldn't be a shortage of nurses if women were given hands-on experience rather than having their certification rely on solving math problems.

One session with Dawne was worth ten sessions with a doctor.

Well I am feeling better these days hence why I haven't been checking in much. But now that some ONH families and individuals are contacting me, I will check more often.

 I am doing better. ;) Thanks to a hormone patch, Wellbutrin SR and Lexapro. Getting on a good antidepressant regemin has buffered my pain and hearing sensitivity. Finally, some relief, after 5 years of trying one medication after another.

 I am working now and it is going well. My supervisor is pretty understanding about my drs appts because he is 73 and people get much more compassionate as they age. I also have a boyfriend and my life is getting back on track before I became jobless and very sick. I think circumstantial stress inflamed my condition.

 I also discovered that my terrible rash was caused by TrueMatch Foundation by Cover Girl. Ever since I stopped using it the rash has healed, although there is scarring. I am putting A&D ointment on my face and it's already healing the scars. Amazing.

Til next time...
