Tabitha, I'm interested to know what your medications are. I hope this doesn't sound as if I am minimizing the difficulties you face, but you always seem to be SO productive and resourceful. You made such good use of your leave of absence from work, and you always seem to be busy, doing something interesting and/or fun. What could your magic formula be? Granted, most of that productivity comes from within, but I wonder what meds might be helping a little bit.
