Well I went to the doctor today and had an EKG done, which came back normal. He thinks I am suffering from bad anxiety and has put me back on my Prozac. I know they use anti-depressants for both anxiety and depression, but I really would rather try just a straight-up anti-anxiety pill. I am relieved that my heart is okay though! I will try the prozac for two weeks and then go see him on the 17th. I hope this works because anxiety is no fun! Hope everyone is doing well! :)

So sorry that you've been sick and add to that anxiety. I never saw anxiety close up and boy it is rough. I pray you find the right med to help you. You have a lot going on.

Mom has been on Xanax and Ativan. She is now taking Ativan just to help her get through her other issues. We hope it is the insulin.  :cuddle;
