Monday, June 6th

4ml prozac, 1/2 magnesium, probiotics, advil for his sore throat but his huffing completely stopped after the advil.

There is a tropical storm moving through and I didn't buy bottled water at the grocery store today because heck, it wasn't a hurricane or anything. But now our tap water is brown so we are drinking the water that I filled the Brita Filter with earlier today and no one had baths tonight. It is raining and raining in torrents. We had to move the cars because the street is flooded.

My youngest is still in school since she goes to a public school. Thursday is her last day and I am hanging on by my fingernails till then. Oh to be able to all sleep in for a few mornings. That will be so deluxe. If it is raining like this tomorrow morning it will be oh so hard to get out of bed. But her class is having a smoothie party tomorrow so we can't be late for that!!

The house is a mess because I have to finish a video and I am so uninspired by it that it is dragging out. I tell myself I can't clean the house until I finish it...to try and inspire me to hurry up so we can get our lives back in order. But now I'm wondering if I should take tomorrow to clean the house and then maybe I will be more inspired to finish the boring video.

Our laundry is outside in the shed so if it is still raining like this tomorrow, nothing is getting done.

I worry about trees falling down when it rains like this non stop so that the ground is soggy down to the roots.

So Ewen is doing well. He made the Gold travel team for next season and actually WANTS to do it, even though Mike and I told him numerous times that he doesn't have to do it this next season and he can take a break. He still isn't in perfect shape and is still sometimes dissatisfied and almost a bit disoriented. But he is managing OK and laughs and has fun often. He said he hasn't been anxious in a very long time. He sleeps in in the mornings like he never used to and I'm sure that is the Prozac, because now that I have also been taking Prozac for a few weeks, it is agonizing for me to get out of bed too, even with 8 hours of sleep. He can't get out with 10 hours of sleep. He was going a little nuts with this storm today since I wouldn't take him to get some more Magic cards.  There was no way I was driving all over town in this mess and our friends texted that they had trees down in their neighborhood.

I though it was interesting that Ewen seemed much better and much more calm after taking and Advil tonight when his throat was bothering him.

Still Chugging Along

It has been almost a month now since the terrible effects of the prednisone.   This morning I gave 50 mg hydroxyzine and 500mg of phenibut and she still said she wasn't feeling great at 11:30am. So I gave her 3 droppers of Valerian Calm, which seems to offer a small boost of happiness sometimes.   I stopped her 5HTP and replaced it with 10mg of fluoxatine. But yesterday she said she was having a hard time peeing. So if that happens again we will have to re-evaluate.   After she is comfortable on an SSRI I want to start the minocycline antibiotic, but I don't want to do that until I get her SSRI support up incase the antibiotic makes her feel worse I read minocylcine can have negative psychiatric effects for some people). I have maxed out her supports with the phenibut and the hydroxyzine and have nothing left to give if the minocycline does something weird neurological too.  So to support myself, I took 20mg of fluoxatine (prozac) last night and feel w...

Today's Basics and a Few Blessings

(Fish oil, probiotics, 4ml prozac, melatonin) Ewen did better today than the past two. He was just a little twitchy going to sleep and was able to hang out at Starbucks this afternoon without begging for a screen to look at. I told him I thought he had lost the ability to entertain himself so he said he was going to try. I told him last night that to go to sleep you have to be calm and let yourself think and then fall asleep. I said to make sure to keep Trash (what he calls his anxiety and OCD) out of it and he agreed. He still needs me to sit in there every night while he falls asleep. So I sit in his bean bag and play Clash Royal on my phone. Today he did well overall I think. I also wonder if it is because we are on the 3rd day after taking 500mg of Zithromax? He was huffing a bit today though, but not all day long and mostly when he was playing video games on his computer. I am still taking Prozac too and it makes me very sleepy. I could sleep all day. It is very hard to get ou...

Out of the Hole

( 4ml Prozac, fish oil, 1/2 magnesium, probiotics, 1mg melatonin) Today Ewen went to a birthday party a couple of hours from home and had a lot of fun. He hung out with his dad a lot today which is what he used to do before he got sick. When he got sick he completely switched from Mike to needing me 24/7. He was not interested in hanging out with Mike. Daddy was all about watching soccer, playing soccer, enjoying everything that Ewen was good at and going out and having fun. Mommy was there to make sure he was feeling OK. So he switched from Mike to me. I realized this morning as Mike got up early to get Ewen's soccer stuff together and go to the store to get a present for the party, that he was taking over his old role as Ewen's care taker. I like that because Ewen has to be so active all the time that I don't have time to spend with the girls. So if Mike focusses on Ewen with his crazy social life and activities, I can focus on the girls and everything else. It was re...
