I too have been offline for a little while. We got ourselves a little behind in the bills after my last episode. Daniel and I both had an appointment with a PDoc today. He confirmed my diagnosis of BP. Because of my diabetes I my meds were changed. I am now taking abilify. Daniel has taken abilify off and on for a few years. More off than on. He is very sensitive to the side effects so doc lowered his script to see if that helped. I hate this diagnosis but I know it is the correct one. I have spent years denying to myself that I had the same disorder that has plagued my family. When my nephew was diagnosed I researched it and figured out that I had it too but spent many years denying it. I can understand your sons denial. He will eventually come back around. You reach a point that you can't avoid it any longer. I reached that point a couple of weeks ago. I will keep him in my prayers. Hopefully he comes around sooner than I did. Glad you had a nice vacation and that Bill is doing so much better. I suffer from several back ailments that leave me in constant pain; I also suffer from migraines. It is no fun and it can at times cause me to go into a manic or severe depressive episode. I am glad I found your blog. It helps to read it and know that I am not alone especially with my special circumstance of my hubby and I both being BP. Welcome back. I too have been offline for a little while.
