brightlotusmoonSo, the Zoloft.
I saw the neurologist, who was pleased with my seizure progress. She understands that stress and exhaustion and anxiety are my biggest triggers and that while the Trileptal may not completely stop the seizures, it definitely reduces them well enough.
She wrote me a prescription for Zoloft. 50 mg once a day. She said to start by taking less Savella over the next month, and then fill the Zoloft prescription. I'm anticipating it. I know there will be side effects but I am prepared. I am very pleased. My disability lawyer will also have more proof for my appeal case.
I see Dr. Jen, the therapist, next Monday, and I'll fill her in on everything. Mom is going to pay for my therapy sessions directly and will send me money every month to help with the cost of all my prescriptions. I feel good about everything. Although right now I feel tired and lethargic and meh. I feel nervous about money for the future, but I may have options this summer. We'll see.
Adam is leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow, to work on another job, probably on or near the Strip. He'll come home next Wednesday. That means that he'll be away on our wedding anniversary, which is Sunday the twenty-second. That's fine, though. He'll be in the city where we became engaged. And considering that our wedding was not entirely what we wanted, thanks to his mother's insane meddling, I consider the entire month of May to be our anniversary month. We can celebrate when he comes home on the twenty-fifth.
I've been collaborating with an Etsy shop owner who makes custom skin creams, lotions, and soaps. I told her I wanted a single skin cream with over two dozen specific ingredients, and she didn't even flinch. She is so excited. She loves making custom products with tons of ingredients, and she loves having a customer who is so extremely knowledgable about oils and extracts and holistic skin care. My special cream should be done by the end of this month or the beginning of next month. It will be phenomenal and epic.
I think my sessions with Dr. Jen may also help restart my creativity and inspirations for the main novel I'm writing.
