The company that makes Zonegran, the mood stabilizer I can tolerate, has decided to change something about its Patient Assistance Program. I used to own a card with identification numbers that I could take to any pharmacy to get my prescription for free. Now, I must go to my doctor's office to pick up the medicine that the company sends them. I really wouldn't have a problem with this except for the lag. I have been off of Zonegran for a week now because I recieved the letter about the change just as I ran out of said medicine. I promptly took the letter to my doctor's office, but it's going to take time for the company to send the medication. In the meantime, I'm up shit creek. It hasn't been too bad except for the moodiness, grumpyness, increased appetite, severely increased sex drive and depressive episodes. I think I'm handling the changes well and I know my boyfriend is. He doesn't enjoy the increased sex drive, oddly enough, as he works thirds and sleeps most of the day. He doesn't seem to mind the increased appetite and the weight gain it brings. I, on the other hand, am concerned. My breasts are already growing and new jeans aren't the only thing I'm going to need. Unfortunately, bras like that are not available at the only store in town that sells them; Wal-Mart. I have to travel 45 minutes to reach a city that has any other store that will sell them, at least in my size. My other option would be online stores/sites that sell bras. I've gone down this path before, and not with much success. By the time I'd get the bra I ordered and prepaid for, my size had changed and the bra was sent back for a larger one. I really do not want to have to do that again.
Yams, sweet yams are the answer! They are a dieters cheat to tricking the sweet tooth. I also happen to love them with marshmallows. But if I put so much brown sugar and marshmallow creme in the yams/sweet potatoes... isn't it just the same as eating a candy bar? I would do the celery thing.. but I don't like it. Blah. Not even with dip. Green peppers on the other hand.. mmmm.
Ah well, I'll either be very hungry, horny and grumpy the next time I post.. or medicated. Gotta love the humor in that.
