Steven - aka Orange,

Can't wait to hear your posts again - I've been out in the desert for the last few days - heard the bad news and now the better news - get well!

Just got done talking to Steve on the phone for about 45 minutes and he's doing fine!! Got his sense of humor back, so he's much better. It was officially "renal failure due to lithium poisoning". He's in the psych ward getting his meds straightened out.
He's asking that Nando or Web let the boys at Tapeheads know what's going on please?

I just took myself off of Lithium. Severe headaches I was on the minimum dose. I got blood taken every 60 days to check the levels. Was his Dr. checking it? Those drugs can mess you up. I feel for him. It got to a point it was putting me on couch. It is a drug that accumulates in the body to work. The higher my levels got the worse the headaches. I'll pray for him.

Just read what renal failure was. Yes they check certain levels that did with my kidneys. Their main concern was my kidneys. I can't take ace inhibitors because it messes with my kidneys. Wow.

I'm back-gimmee a minuto and I'll have a tale.

I'm actually well off for it all, it's one of those epiphanies that opens doors.

Good to hear from you, Steven. Take your time getting settled before giving us the low-down on what's happened in the past few weeks.

Nando.

Other than rearranging the bedroom some for a smaller (full) bed, eating with a tablespoon and my glucose meter not getting packed, I am fine and installing light bulbs. :dmage:

You'll have pictures once I've seen them.
