It's the 28th. I essentially re-started all of my medications 2 days ago when they came in the mail. Since my mood stabiliser has to build in the blood stream, and it was out of my blood stream long enough to have completely dissipated, the anti-depressant is working faster. This means that the AD is lifting my mood faster than the MS can level it out.
I have been extrodiniarily creative however and will miss the exhillierated feeling I am getting from churning out so much work.
'
On the other hand, I won't miss only sleeping 45 minutes a night.
It's six of one, half dozen of the other as I know my creative, "happy" mania can so quickly turn to agitated, angry mania. I crave the creative bursts and piles of work I get done but not the sleeplessness, the anger, frustration and eventual burn out.
I cycled on the 6th, which means my period will probably hit on the 4th. Which also means I am PMSing this week.
So, today I took a muscle relaxant for the pain and tightness in my back and will hope for a few hours sleep.

GI woe.
Yesterday was a literal wash. I woke up at 4:30 pm, mostly due to Thursday's migraine. I ate very little, except a biscuit and 2 celery sticks.
Now that I have been off of my Strattera for 2 weeks and my GI tract is functioning normally for the most part, the pain is still here, and doesn't seem to be affected by gi troubles one way or the other. In other words, constipation and or diarrhea don't seem to make the pain lessen or intensify.
Thursday, I had 2 carrots and a bowl of popcorn for dinner. Yesterday I had 3 carrots and a biscuit. For some reason my GI tract doesn't like this and now I have diarrhea.
Although, if I am ovulating, I wonder if that affects my GI tract at all?

Migraine
Woke up around 7:30am with a huge migraine. Took 4 ibus, 2 Excedrin.
WOke again at 12pm, pain had not lessened. Took 4 more ibus.
Woke again at 2:34pm and stayed awake, took 2 Excedrin. About an hour later took 1 100mg Imitrex. Headache took around 2 hours to lessen to a bearable level.
It was overcast today, maybe that triggered the migraine.
