Ulcerative Colitis

Hi, my name is Lred60. I'm here because I have ulcerative colitis, arthritis and lupus.

My daughter is using Seroquel for her Bipolar 2, but the higher the dose goes, the more negative side effects she is experiencing and the more horrible she physically feels. Her psychiatrist seems to have total faith in its ability to address her Bipolar and severe depression and anxiety despite our insistence that it may not be the best medication for her. Does anyone else have any medication suggestions for treating bipolar 2 other than the Seroquel? # #Bipolar2 #ChronicFatigue #Fibromyalgia #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #Depression #Anxiety #HypothyroidismUnderactiveThyroidDisease #UlcerativeColitis #EoE

I had a panic attack and I ripped off the tips of my nails again. I don't know what triggered it though. I wasn't hyper focused on my hands and I didn't see bugs. I've got the runs again and my BG is 299. My head is pounding and my tummy really hurts. This sucks. I was hoping today would be a good day. But I don't get good days apparently.

Living with my chronically ill, autistic, BPD, young adult daughter is like living with an abusive spouse ( I would know cause I lived with one for 16 years before divorcing him). I can’t kick her out cause she isn’t totally capable of living on her own and doesn’t have much income and I don’t have any family that she could go live with. She doesn’t drive either so is totally dependent on me to get her to her part time job and frequent doctor appointments. However I am chronically ill too with several difficult conditions and work full time and care for my youngest daughter that is totally disabled from her chronic illnesses and it is just too much to always deal with the continual cycle of ups and downs she goes through due to her mental and developmental diagnoses. She is on medication that is helping some to stabilize her moods and help her severe anxiety, but she still goes into really awful episodes where her thinking is all over the place and she lashes out verbally and accuses me of things that don’t even make sense. She yells and cussed at me, calls me names and says I’m stupid and don’t really love her. She does the same to her sister but on a lesser scale than with me. In those episodes I can’t reason with her and she is determined that I’m causing her problems. When she is clear headed she can be kind and loving, but she always has another episode before long that is horrible for me to deal with. I feel I’m being verbally and emotionally abused just like I was from my ex- husband. I want a peaceful life and I just can’t seem to ever achieve it due to the whole situation. Has anyone else had experience with this kind of thing? I would really appreciate input. #Fibromyalgia #AutismSpectrumDisorder #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #chronicmigraine #ADHD #Anxiety #Depression #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #Dysautonomia #UlcerativeColitis #EoE #OCD #DisorderedEating #InterstitialCystitis #Endometriosis #IBS #FoodAllergies
