R We Crazy

Yes absolutely bonkers. No just kidding. The question is do we feel crazy every moment of everyday. We are giving a variety of pain meds, anti-depressants, anti-anxiety, or some experimental fibro pill. Sure they help but not completely and not without side effects.   Do we have a choice to take them or not. Most of us don't some can handle it with a herbal avenue or some of us do a little a both we all need different amounts and needs. I haven't met one of us that are exactly the same.  This tells me that doctors are clueless and throwing darts just trying to hit the target. We adjust and re-adjust and all the while our body reacts. Recently I went through a scare.

As you know I took a semi herbal approach  and it had been working/helping but unfortunately I didn't plan for my immune system to go down. So first a got a cold then I got a stomach flu. This stomach flu ended me up in the E.R. passing out from dehydration. The doctors also notice a high heart rate. Well long story short my heart is fine but I was definitely being over medicated and 2 of my meds had serotonin in them which raised my heart rate. So Doctor decided I need to reduce one of them. I had too because in the long run I would really cause damage to my body. The avenue we took was reducing the anti-depressant and not the new fibro med. At first no noticeable changes. That's were you get tricked.  I thought I can handle this but slowly but surely I was slipping into a sense of loneliness and in a way I had a reason too but my reaction which came to a head today, I had no reason for. I blew up at a friend then proceeded to blow up at my husband saying things I know I shouldn't have said insensitive things while being in a very sensitive situation My poor husband didn't know how to take it. I didn't know how to take it.  So I prayed for clarity and realized the doctor told me that my body and emotions would react to the change but it was for the better. I wanted to get back to the gym.  The "A Ha" moment today.  My xanax had some delays mix ups with Dr.'s office and pharmacy(sound familiar to anybody) so with out me realizing it I had not taken 2 doses. So of course I blow up.  The messes this illness creates to us and our poor family and friends. It's no wonder we feel crazy a lot of the time.

So the answer is sure we are crazy but only the sane think they are insane. the insane have no clue that they truly r crazy.
