Hi Pipsy,
Me again. Just wanted to make a comment regarding medication. I too agree that even though people are feeling like they are doing well and think they will stop taking their medication, it is not a wise thing to do unless your Dr recommends it.
Unfortunately I am having some rather unpleasant side effects to my medication so have been advised to come off them and will try something else.
In my employment I care for the elderly and sometimes my job includes cleaning for them. One of the side effects I am suffering from is a lack of co ordination.
My mind tells my hands to do something, but my hands decide not to co operate. I would hate to break my old dears family heir looms! That would be no good at all!
One lady has a beautiful Royal Doulton dinner set on display in her dining room, I dusted around it very carefully today. Ha. Ha. I didn't want to find out how much it would cost to replace a cup if I broke it!
Cheers, from Lauren

Hi Lauren. Thank you for your kind thoughts and words. I too hope you don't break the Royal Doulton. I thought of Mrs Bucket (pronounced, Bouqet, ha!!) when you said about the Royal Doulton. I heard something about hands not cooperating with minds sometime ago. It may well be the meds, in which case you're very wise to follow Dr's instructions.
I am also very busy with our local church, which is giving me a lot of support. I never thought I'd be a believer, but I feel better about myself through BB and church.
I was misdiagnosed with Bipolar years ago and the meds I was put on gave me Parkinsons. Since I've been off meds, I seem to function better. I do have my days, but mainly frustration with my personal life. I have a Narcissistic MIL, I haven't had any direct contact for over a year, but my husband still dances to her tune, whenever she can get him. He's not well at the moment either. He has to realize his own health is more important. I try to say nothing, but every so often, I have to really bite my tongue.
Extended families seem to cause more problems sometimes.
Good luck with your meds.
Regards Pipsy.
