Meds, Meds, Meds

Just took my morning meds. I take 1000 mgs of Tegretol a day to keep from having seizures. Not that it helps any. I still have them. I can't wait till I go to OHSU in September to be evaluated again. On top of the Tegretol, I take meds for agoraphobia, high blood pressure, and pain meds for RA of the cervical spine, (the docs tell me that it is at stage 5 and will never go into remission....but that is another story). I have to keep a sense of humor somehow about this. I have been dealing with this for 30 years but sometimes it gets so darned depressing! The meds either make me sleepy, psychotic, or with so low a libido I am surprised my fiance hasn't dumped me by now........
