You have to get well fast because we need to go out for martinis together!!!

I’m in Columbia, Missouri, but if you need anything, I think you have my cell number.

Though high, it is good to hear your numbers are coming down. Hope they get this knocked out quickly. I know how you like your martini’s. I’ll knock one back for you for good luck.

Yeah, those SSRIs build up a new equilibrium in your head. I think that Michele said transitioning back to a natural equilibrium can take a couple of weeks.

Whatever you do, don’t dream about Tron, that would be too weird.

Kate, I think I’ve got this figured out.

You’re too nice.

No, seriously, think about it. When did all of your problems start? When you became less venomous, started another more friendly blog, and generally started being less snarky (snarkified?). Then again, how’s one supposed to be snarky when taking an antidepressant?

Yep. That’s your problem all right. I prescribe 10mg of venomous diatribe daily until the problem either goes away or you reduce someone to tears. Either way you’ll feel better.

Glad to hear there is finally some sort of light at the end of the tunnel for you, especially after your long and seemingly agonizing condition. Get Well soon.

Wonderful!! Now, did they pull a Hep panel today as well as more chemistries? Good that your ESR is normal, but I’d like to see some amylase and lipase numbers, too, just to make sure your pancreas isn’t being affected as well. But then I just draw the stuff, not order it. Hope you’re feeling much better soon.

I don’t understand. Why if they were 2k+ were they all of a sudden down 80+ percent? Is that the med adjustment?

From VK: Well, that’s what we’re trying to figure out.

Re the epigastric pain: Camomille tea. If you don’t have any in the house … well that’s what husbands are for. Send him to the Whole Foods or GNC for some.

From VK: I’m allergic to chamomile. But peppermint tea has been helpful!
