My Family Doctor Report

 

            Good Afternoon Everyone!! I have some good news and some bad news.  The good news is that my blood pressure was 136/72.  I have gained 15 pounds in one month.  I weigh 285 pounds right now.  I have gained too much weight from taking both Lithium and Zyprexa.  The bad news is that my calcium levels are weigh too high right now.  I did not know that I suffered from Osteoarthritis. I was taking weigh too much Vitamin D.  These doctors here in Dayton, Ohio had prescribed too much Vitamin D.  My feet and legs are swollen very badly.  It hurts for me to walk on my feet right now.

 

            Next, I want to inform everyone that I thought I was losing weight because I was not eating very much.  I want to inform all of you that I had gained so much weight in one month.  I have not been doing anything wrong.  I have been drinking fluids a whole lot.  I have been eating at night.  I want to inform all of you that these antipsychotic medications will completely mess you up.  I did not know that Zyprexa will impair your thinking and judgment.  I want to inform everyone that my psychiatrist will have to take me off Zyprexa and Lithium because of the excessive weight.

 

            Moreover, I want to inform all of you that I will have to take 24mg of Trilafon at bedtime and 12mg during the day.  I know that I have been hearing voices for the past 8 years now.  The voices are manageable right now.  The voices really love music.  The voices that I hear each day really like the Isley Brothers and Slave.  The voices also love Mary J. Blige as well.  I am trying to cope with these crazy voices.  It is not very easy because it damages your spirit.  It also affects your concentration to the point that I have to out think the voices by playing music out loud. 

 

 

            Also, I want to inform all of you that I am taking 1500mg of Vitamin D at the moment.  The doctor states that I have some bone spurs as well as bone loss.  I want to tell all of you that these voices that I hear are men and women simultaneously talking to me.  The doctor stated that I have to go on an exercise program and definitely lose weight.  I want to inform you that it is not easy for me when it comes to dealing with the voices.  My body hurts all over right now from taking too much Vitamin D.  The psych meds are finally working.  Even though I hear voices, but I am going to survive.  I want to inform all of you that I am still happy to be at the library right now as we speak.  The voices are telling me to buy a computer of my own. I cannot afford it.

 

            In Addition, I want to inform everyone that I do suffer from glaucoma right now. I have been diagnosed with primary open angle glaucoma.  This is the worst kind of glaucoma because it affects your peripheral vision.  I have been prescribed eye drops to alleviate the elevated eye pressure that I have each day from taking other medications.  I want to inform everyone that I am happy to be clean and sober during the holidays.  I want to tell everyone that back in 1984, when I was 19 years old, I ate some chili.  Afterwards, I went to sleep and my face was inside of the bowl of chili.  This happened on January 1, 1984.  It was a trip because I was so intoxicated that I woke up and my face was inside of the chili.  I mean literally inside of the bowl of chili.  This is the truth.

 

            Therefore, I do not have a desire to drink and smoke weed anymore because I asked God to remove the desire from me to drink and smoke anything that is bad for me.  I want all of you to know that I still need prayer because where I live at right now is drug infested and it also have bedbugs.  My doctor told me that I have to get a heart check up with the cardiologist.  I have to go to the hospital next week for the heart test.  It is not very easy for me to deal with these problems.  The voices that I am hearing each day derived from the South.  I want to inform all of you that I did not start hearing voices until I was admitted into Broughton Hospital in Morganton, NC.   Broughton Hospital is 86 miles northwest of Charlotte, NC. 

 

            In Summary, my family doctor told me that I am taking too much medication.  I am taking a total of 22 prescription medications.  It is not very easy being a disabled man living with a mental illness.  I have been walking around with back pain and swollen feet.  I understand that my doctor can only do so much for me.  I want all of you to know that I will make it.  These voices will have to listen to music all day long.  I will have to read my Bible out loud as well.  I have to battle these voices just like Satan.  Satan knows the Bible himself, and he can be transformed into an angel of light.  That why you have to stay in the battle with the intention of winning it for the rest of your life.  My blood pressure is slightly high because I have been drinking coffee. 

 

            In Conclusion, I want to tell all of you that I will be blogging at least 3 to 4 times per week.  I have to because I have to express myself every single day of my life.  I will be online posting videos and writing just to inform everyone what I am doing just to keep these voices at bay.  I want to inform all of you that my brothers and sisters rarely talk to me.  I talk to my baby brothers more than the older ones.  My sisters are inside of their own world.  Romans 12:2 says do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  That is very serious because this world is a temporary home for all of us.  It is time for all of us to start taking our spiritual life seriously.  I know I am because I want to receive eternal life.  My doctor wants to see me back in 2 weeks because I have to get my blood work completed as well as my heart test. I love all of you just like I love God.  God is love.  It is beautiful when you can do God’s work and bless others as well.  May the Lord God continue to bless all of you?

 

 

Sincerely,
