I'm Back!!!!!!

Hello Everyone,

I am BACK!! I am on my 4th or 5th (I forget lol) day of my abilify and I can already feel the results, I'm feeling much better today then I have in over a month. I know I will only feel better from here on out, so I've decided to jump back onto the forums and help SC and Hibee out.

I missed all of you and I thank you all for your support and prayers, I appreciate it all more then I could even tell you.

I do have a doctors appt today for blood test, we will see what my AC1 is and see if it is lower since I stopped the Abilify, however I've already come to terms that the abilify will raise my blood sugar levels and I will probably become a diabetic cause of it, but my chances of becoming a diabetic are already about 90% since it runs in both sides of my family. The abilify just might make it happen sooner rather then later. :(

I do want to thank SC and Hibee for taking up all the slack from me not being here. You two are awesome, and I adore you both.

Let's all live life, like we have never lived it before!! Here is to an anxiety free day for everyone!

I am so happy to read your post, and hear the difference in how you sound now, as compared to just a week ago!

We were all very concerned, and praying that you would find your way back to feeling your best again...so great job on getting the help that you needed!

You had a rough time of it with the two prolonged illnesses in a row...and I assumed you were just down from both of those episodes...and how being unwell takes the wind out of the sails...

...I did not even put together the fact that it was your med switch...so I am really glad you got that pinned down, and are on your way to getting back now!!


*Phew* It has been a rough few weeks...and I am sure you are still needing to take it easy and fully come back to strength...so PACE yourself.

We are glad to have you back, but take care of you first and foremost my friend!

Love and hugs...and talk soon!

Yay Lisa, its good to have you back! Glad to hear you are feeling much better!

Great News!!!!!!! I went to the Dr Tuesday for blood test, mostly to test my AC1 (blood sugar) to see if it lowered any being off the Abilify, well it did not lower but it is still at 6.0 which is what it was 6 months ago, so I'm happy with that.

Of course 6.5 is the threshold for diabetes and I will most likely become diabetic in the next few years my doctor said, so I need to work on my diet and exercise more. Sadly, because of genetics I'm more likely then not to become a diabetic sometime in my life regardless what I do, but hopefully if I work on the diet and exercise more I can prolong it as long as I can.

Thank You guys again for all the prayers and good thoughts you have given me over the past month and half, it was for sure the worse month I've had in a very long time, BUT I'm feeling like myself again and each new day is only better.
