As if we women aren't naturally hormonal, add a central nervous system disorder like Epilepsy to the mix. hahahaha. It's horrible. Yes, I too have a hard time getting up, but I think it's the meds.

For the most part I'm usually in a good mood but there are days where i really have to tell myself,"You have to get off the couch and stop watching movies". It's the meds, I've looked up the side effects and it's not comforting to read or hear from my neuro that i might experience some mood swings. I'm sorry i wasn't much help but that's all i really know.

I understand where you are coming from. It can be real frustrating. some of the meds do that. How long have you had 'e'? If you EVER want someone to talk to I would be more than happy to do so. I had a mentor and I know how much it helped me to be able to talk to someone that had the "e". My email address is [email protected] Email me ANYTIME. If you have IM we can do that to if you would like. Expressing feelings helps makes you feel better Hope to hear from you soon Lynn - Phoenix
