Update

I had a great visit at the Dr. They had me use an iPad before I went in to review my symptoms, and rate each one for severity. When I met with him, I was able to clearly tell him how I've been feeling, even though I couldn't look him in the eye initially. He has diagnosed PTSD, increased my current medication, which is also used to treat depression and anxiety, and prescribed more counseling, including EMDR.

I've eaten well again, swam, walked, had the brakes fixed on the van, shopped for sisters weekend at the cottage...more than I've accomplished for weeks!

Now I'm gonna email the board office to ask if they'll cover the counseling, and if not, I'm doing it anyway!

I'm tired, but this has been the best day I've had in ages, so I'm celebrating!

Love, elly
