First dose of Lithium

Went to the pdoc today and he gave me a prescription for Lithium of which I just took the first dose. I have a bloodtest for it next where they will look at increasing it to the range that it does its stuff. Again I saw the other pdoc as I mention in the previous post and I was glad for another reason as my normal pdoc arrived an hour late and those waiting to see him were sent home. That has been a similar scenario on most of the appointments I have had with him in the last 6-9 months.

The tablets are pretty darn big about the size of a refresher (assuming they still make those). I also got a pill box / dosette box as I dont know whether I am coming or going with all these tablets.

Took Wucey out for her walk and it was freezing so she wore her duffel coat and she did look pretty sweet. To any one who ever says shes a cocker spaniel she dont need a coat I say she gets cold because in the winter she sleeps under the quilt with me. She must prefer being warm. Plus it also means she does not get so wet and and muddy which would end up on the sofa or bed. Its also easier to keep her groomed well.

Anyway back to topic I took the first one which is 400mg and I suppose the next will be 800 then see what happens. I am quite glad about the change because previously my pdoc was saying there was nothing more we could do with drugs. His boss who I have now seen was saying there are other options.

Wanted to put a post in yesterday but I forgot I really want to say a few words for someone tomorrow. I cant now as sleeeps have started to take effect and I have got to get ready. If I leave it long I end up waking a few hours later keeled over the computer with no idea of what was happening.
