Hi Judy, I'm a Judy too but it's too common & for posting in forums & other places, it's easier to use IsoM initially as no one knows my gender that way.

You asked if they're all somehow connected. Personally, I do.It's like if you have the wrong sized screwdriver bit, it not only stops you from undoing the screws on your cupboard but could make it impossible to undo the screws on many other household items.

Same with our brain's chemistry. That's why when we take a medication, it has so many possible side-effects. Most times the medication can't be so carefully engineered to only affect as certain thing in our CNS but impacts on all sorts of other systems too. I've noticed a tie-in with many of the same problems. If someone has one thing not working right, you can be sure there's a few more related things not up to par too.

Whatever the doctor wants to test you for could probably wait till after your delivery & recovery. Ask him if it's absolutely crucial. I bet it's not. You've lived with it already for a long time.

Are you planning on nursing? I've read so much about the benefits of nursing & how it can stave off post-partum depression in most women. If you nurse your baby, you'll make lots of a hormone called the "cuddle" hormone, oxytocin. Boy, did that do wonders for making me calm & mellow. I nursed my babies for as long as possible, not just for their sakes, but to keep me mellow.

For me, I got lucky, sort of. Generally the meds that fix oe problem have benefited other problems too. Not all have been that lucky. It's affected other problems in some alright, but only to make it worse.

> Hi,
> I received the results of my exam, as I had overheard I do have a smaller than normal left hippocampus. The dr. wants me in the hospiatl for a week of video EEG, since I am almost due and terrified of hospitals that's impossible. He questions if I have complex partial seizure, epileptic status or a fugue state. My diagnosis now is bipolar, panic, and DD-NOS. Maybe they are all related somehow. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks- judy
