After being in a bad flare since the beginning of January, I have to admit that I am feeling depressed. As time is flying by, I still feel stuck. I try to stay upbeat, pray, do all I can to keep my mind busy, but I still feel down. I am feeling a lot better, but not back to how I felt before.

When I saw my Psychiatrist, he recommended that I start counseling again. My meds can’t be changed or increased and he believes that this depression is reactive to my health issues. When I talk to him, it’s nice to not have to explain any of my medical conditions to him. He is a neurologist as well as a Psychiatrist so he understands what Myasthenia Gravis is, what symptoms I have and how it affects my life. He keeps up to date on medical issues and knows the medications that I take and what they are for.

Although I speak to him for a good twenty minutes, it is only every 3 months. So now I’ll be adding counseling visits to my plethora of doctor visits. I do think that this is a good thing for me though.

I know a lot of you thought I fell off the face of the earth, or that I got the worst stomach flu known to man, or that I was totally incapacitated.

I have been sick. And just found out that it is the Myasthenia Gravis. Even my neurologist was pretty shocked as to how downhill I’ve gone. I’m slowly increasing my Mestinon. And waiting to see how that goes. He’s warned me that if this doesn’t work, I’ll have to increase the Cellcept. That does not make me happy at all.

Sorry for not keeping up here, but I’m doing the best I can with writing reviews and running contests on my other blogs. I hope to write here again soon. There’s so much information that I want to pass along about health and medical conditions, especially rare ones.

Thanks to all who keep checking on me.
