I just returned from seeing Dr. Bubblehead - wonder of wonders, I actually get seen on time today! Well, I didn't actually see her, at first, I saw a resident. I don't mind them so much, I mean they got learn some where right? And it's a psychiatric exam, not an invasive one. So I go over my history (yet again) with student doc. Same old questions:
How long have you known you were bipolar? since 1992
Are you having/how are your mood swings? fine, not currently
Do you use drugs? not currently
When was the last time you used drugs? about 1993
Do you drink? every chance I get, ok, sometimes.
Do you feel like hurting yourself? No
What medication are you on? Topiramate
How is it working? fine
When were you last hospitalized? look in the computer - about 1995
Then he goes to get the Bubblehead and I wait, and wait, and wait some more.
She comes in, tells me I look good, asks me how I feel, tells me to come back in 3 months.
Good news blood pressure 117 over 74, yeah. I lost another 12 pound since the last visit, YEAH!
Doing the happy dance!!!
Back to work now.
