I feel like I am living doctor appt to doctor appt. 10 am Monday, saw regular doctor who sent me for lab work and X-rays. X-rays showed nothing but arthritis in toes, blood work showed excess Uris acid and low potassium. Got prescription for alliipurinol and potassium. Gout does not seem to be improving, but not getting worse either. It hurts, but I can stand it. Eye doctor Monday afternoon, new glasses ordered, but have to wait 4 weeks. I sure need them Everything blurry with my current glasses. Appt tomorrow with sleep dentist (who ever knew there was such a thing?) to have procedure to help with snoring.
JoAnne, I know how hard it is to deal with a schyzophrenic. When my sister was diagnosed, I read several books and dozens of articles and there is no question, the more intelligent the sufferer is, the harder it is. My sister is so manipulative! It works so often for her when it shouldn’t. I just never know when I should be forgiving because it is beyond her control and when I am justified to be angry because of her manipulative ways. Some times she does and says because her illness controls her, but sometimes she is just being mean and nasty because she gets away with it. Deal
Ling with her is a minefield
