Fiss,
Right! I am pretty much against any meds but if this anti-depressant helps me with my digestive system and butt, I am willing to take it for a few months. I was encouraged that my psychiatrist feels that I have improved greatly.

P.S. I am still proud of myself being able to change my avatar to a Halloween pumpkin!!

I am proud of you too LOL !!!

Fiss,
I am happy the medicine you are taking is working with you without putting you to sleep. :D
What is burning mouth syndrome? My mouth, especially tongue and roof of mouth seems to burn alot, I hate it but not sure what is wrong. I used to think it was the diet coke I drank but quit that and now I wonder if it is caffiene in coffee, but I rarely drink that and it still bothers me. Can you tell me more about it?
Your daughters both sound so talented, I know why you are so proud of them.
Acting definitely would come in so handy with the politics .
We tried piano lessons for 3 of the kids and they took maybe 4-5 years but it seemed hard to find time for them to practice, I think they just got tired of it. Jared's wrist started bothering him or he would have continued.
My boys all loved calculus, my daughter isn't thrilled with her math classes though.
That is great your daughter wants to be a pediatrician. She probably will always enjoy her music, she sounds very talented .
Cheryl,
When do you take the lexipro? Jared thought it was making him really tired in the afternoon so he is trying it at night.

We're all proud Cheryl

Jo,
One of the anti-depressants I was taking previously made me so tired that I had to rest during our walks. I take the Lexipro in the am because it can keep a person awake at night. Did Lexipro make you tired when you took it?? I'll see if that is a listed side effect. I am going to be in the poor house paying for it since I am not approved, but it is worth it to me to have a med that works well for m. I think everyone reacts differently to different meds. How is your butt? I hope it is better. Don't forget to take your fiber supplements and Miralax!!!
Corsi,
Thanks. After Halloween I hope you will continue to post some of the wonderful pictures you have taken. Good luck with your appointment!!

Hi Jen
How are you doing? Is the butt behaving?
I bet you are busy with school and looking forward to your break in Hawaii!
Take care,

Jo

Hi Jo!
You are so sweet! Thanks for asking! My BM's have finally gone back down to normal size and I am doing ok. How are you doing? I know you and I were having similar problems last week?
17 DAYS AND COUNTING DOWN FOR HAWAII

Yay!!
I am happy to hear things are better for you.
I am doing pretty well also, the miralax is working well for me now. I am taking the full dose right now about every 24-36 hours. I may start alternating full dose then half dose, that should help keep those large bms away.
You deserve a treat! I am so glad you get to go to Hawaii.

Take care.

Good that your BM are more manageable Jen :)
How is your pain level now? Can you sit? Do you dare to think this will be the end of your fissure?
Corsica

..........Glad you are both doing well
