Hi
Hope everyone is doing fine
If not Hope things get better.
I haven't been online as so much has been going on.
Had my 2 brain scans
The PETSCAN Showed
Non specific abnormality in frontal lobe..
My Bp1 medications have been increased & they have been making me so tired but that is a side affect.
Been having a few telehealth video with my psychiatrist.
My low life idiot of a brother has still been causing mischieve.
But that is life.
Regards

Hello @Abby6_2025
Good to hear from you. Sorry to hear about the brain result. Did they suggest any treatment?
Yes BP1 meds can be quite sedating. A good psychiatrist can titrate the dose to balance the advantages and disadvantages... in my case that's meant being flexible depending on what's happening in my life.
Hope you and your husband are settling into your new rental.

Hi @Dimity
First I need to see my go Thursday he will do a referral for me ro see a Neurologist.
My physciatrist was wanting to put ne in hospital as I have been having paranoia and hallucination.
But I said now because I need to be home caring for my husband that has a heart condition
I understand why she wanted to do that as will be quicker to the Neurologist
Yes we have settled into the new house thankyou for asking
@Dimity how have you been?
It's been terribly humid.
Regards

I'm not too bad thanks @Abby6_2025, a bit anxious about getting a helper again but otherwise OK.
I hear you about looking after your husband but remember the saying about putting on your own oxygen mask first - you need to be well enough to help him. You're probably helping each other.
I trust your psychiatrist is doing a good job supporting you even if you didn't want the hospital. Hopefully there won't be too long a wait for the neurologist.
I remember someone I know had to see neurologists and a memory clinic, it can take a while.
