I've tried - about as many times as I've tried to learn how to knit - and it just doesn't stick.<br /><br />Gave Em a 1000mg Vitamin D today and she had such a good day she wants one everyday! She's had a tough time adjusting to public school with all the students and trying to make friends - she ends up in tears frequently. I know, I know - she's not got the difficulties that your one has, but all those vitamins make a difference even when you don't! I'm up to about 3000mg a day myself- esp. on gray days!<br /><br />I had a weird dream too about my favorite cousin and how out of touch I am with him. In the dream he died from some lethal chemical he'd come in contact with at work - and he lived in the same town as I did AND he was engaged to this beautiful socialite! Not sure what that was about, bit it was memorable...<br /><br />Love you girl!domandkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17914120766735191337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872069763804945028.post-53004695190510721362010-09-13T15:17:35.154-04:002010-09-13T15:17:35.154-04:00We've tried a lot of things, but unfortunately...We've tried a lot of things, but unfortunately some of this is just the nature of the beast! Basically we find the only 100% effective way to be sure she took her meds is to put it in her hand with a glass of water. *sigh*<br /><br />Still if it makes you feel any better you can do what I do, and enter the World's Meanest Mom Competition and go for Best Costume award! http://marythemom-mayhem.blogspot.com/2010/05/worlds-meanest-mom-award-best-costume.html<br /><br />Mary in TXmarythemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205319256573120866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872069763804945028.post-47317634258020834642010-09-13T11:49:46.274-04:002010-09-13T11:49:46.274-04:00I'd think some of that is her age.

He's not bipolar, but I wouldn't rely on him to be consistent with taking meds (or whatever) on his own--especially if the price of him forgetting is so high.<br /><br />I may be speaking of things I don't really understand, but that sounds like something I could see my son doing on any given day.Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09306832308639399258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872069763804945028.post-25919943071639702552010-09-13T09:18:31.424-04:002010-09-13T09:18:31.424-04:00You may want to try a locked automatic pill dispen...You may want to try a locked automatic pill dispenser: <br />http://www.epill.com/medsmartepill.html<br /><br />e-pill medication reminders work well for may bipolar patients.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16181238853521876406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4872069763804945028.post-39650270596719400002010-09-13T04:00:16.627-04:002010-09-13T04:00:16.627-04:00hugs.

The price you pay when she forgets is too high. <br /><br />The docs never told me this. They said she had to take her own but they never paid the price.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04382717273926292379noreply@blogger.com
