Laura: *huggles* The good thing about the result with my GP was that he actually acted. My last bloods were borderline low, and this one went lower again and involved all three parts/hormones tested. He could have waited another three months and re-tested, but he decided to act immediately.
I don't know what it is, but I always seem to just get started on some uni work when I get interrupted to the tune of losing several hours of study time. I'm on here quickly this morning before I jump into my uni work while my o.h. is asleep. It would be lovely to get things done without interruptions though, lol.
My psych doctor has approved my intentions with regards to decreasing the lithium so I begin that in roughly two weeks. He even thanked me for the detailed update (followed by a comment in parenthesis where he observed that detailed is what he always gets...). The big test will be the removal of the lithium - from his point of view not mine. If there is absolutely no change OR my mood state lifts, the lithium is an evil drug not to be retried. If, by any chance, the removal appears to upset the equilibrium, it can be retrialled. I hate the supposed "magical properties" lithium is said to have. (Such as protecting people from attempting suicide, even though they just made an attempt and are on lithium....)
I'd probably better stop bitchin and get into my study. I have a feeling though that my o.h. will wake as soon as I begin...
