ugh, hat in hand

meds are ripping my stomach to shreds
the weather is doing weird things to my back (ow)
I have bills... coming out of my ears
still can't leave the house, jfc wtf

if anyone wants to help with my electric bill, which is out of control (mobile home, because of the A/C, must keep meg cool for seizure reasons), PM me? it's $160 and I can't afford it (and they don't take paypal)

OR if you wanna help out with the gas/meg & me doc appt stuff, which is eating us up, paypal works. anthony.melissa@rocketmail.com

or if you have tips on getting my meds to stop making me run to the bathroom all day, those are appreciated, too! \o/ (I've been trying to eat, but my appetite is gone as well, so a few mouthfuls of yogurt are all I'm getting down during the day)

I feel like a creep.

Re: Red flag - side effects for Depakote

The acute pancreatitis is mostly in babies/kids, and is pretty acute - you'd be REALLY sick - but best to ask the doc, yes.
Ginger tea for nausea - raw ginger grated and infused (+/- honey).
Psyllium products for runny bowels - acts like blotting paper and generally good for you anyway. (Psyllium's in: Alramucil, Cilium, Fiberall, Genfiber, Hydrocil, Konsyl, Maalox Daily Fiber Therapy, Metamucil, Natural Fiber Therapy, Natural Vegetable, Perdiem Fiber, Reguloid, Serutan, Syllact, Uni-Laxative, V-Lax).
Hope it settles! Hard, from the sound of it, but try to take the depakote with food. Dry water crackers?
