If you read through a few post esp...Hello, here. If you read through a few post especially the earliest ones (oddly enough, when I was a bit better than I am now, you will get some idea of my life style and how this condition affects me. Basically near zero energy, or stamina, plus continual muscle or joint pain, of varying intensity. I am currently working with a routine of five minutes mild to moderate activity followed by fifty-five minutes rest. That for each and every hour. At most.<br /><br />Yes, I've had to cut back even on my barely existent social life... It drains, not recharges. When any more tired than average it also starts to affect typing, thinking, the ability to do routine activities without making an error. It's something you need insane amounts of optimism to cope with or my approach which is to bring a dark and twisted sense of humour into play. <br />(If this is Karma, wow, was I a naughty boy in my last life: pity I can't remember how much fun it was.)<br /><br />So, a fair chance of a poor or wrong diagnosis and a fair change of being over-medicated if not wrongly medicated. Is there anyone in particular whose neck you would like to squeeze until their eyeballs pop out?<br />(there is a very nice relaxation method based on this approach... visualisation only, nothing illegal)<br /><br />An interesting bunch of people with whom I can discuss almost anything, and who have far more experience than I of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and related medications can be found at http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/ ( I have no involvement except as a satisfied loon.) Why not have a look and see if that looks a place that might suit, to discuss your past? ( Offering a universal cure there is likely to get you shot down in flames, but there is considerable respect for personal experiences and stories of all sorts.)

I've read your mentioning that yo...Hello Chris<br /><br />I've read your mentioning that you have a serious health problem but I have no clue about its various manifestations. If as Ms. Rachel cotton comments even social interactions become tiring, I realise the great degree of caution I have to adopt. <br /><br />I confess that I had a severe mental health problem from 1983 to 2004 and was variously diagnosed as 'schizophrenic' and later revised as 'manic depressive' and was on very potent medication for almost 25 years when a series of things happened that has lifted me from a state of sickness to good health and I have been relieved of all medication since 2009. But that's a long story and wonder if anybody would be interested.Deepakbellurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235868145288992402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5675424883400886099.post-89042535374698342382012-06-30T21:39:28.143+01:002012-06-30T21:39:28.143+01:00Oh and my aspergergic side has only just realised ...Oh and my aspergergic side has only just realised that the reason I need to sit and zone out when I've been out, is because despite enjoying them, I find social interactions tiring.

In that case I would think of it as more of a thin sliver of light. Not enough to read by perhaps, but just enough to show you were to go. Well done.Happydogfacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10262508588702587251noreply@blogger.com
