HI, Philip. Many thanks for the plug.

John,
You can count on a purchase of the book from this patient that's for sure.

Been reading your site for many years, and it was truly helpful re: my daughter.

Now, it was helpful re: myself.

Kudos to you, and good luck.

When I got home from the doc last week, I went to this site and your site, and read a lot of things, like a reminder of what to do, things I had read before, but now applied to me more, don't try and figure that out.

I went to the what to do in the first 48 hours or something on your site, and a lot of it made sense.

I agree, it is high time a patient entered a doc's arena, with their own work in hand.....

Way to be.

About my Honors debate class, I am a little concerned, becuase I'm not the most articulate person out there. I'm really not. When I speak, a lot of time, I can't get the words out of my mouth, or when they do come out, they don't make any sense. Like, I was hanging with someone today, and I was talking to her... and then eventually she turned to me and said: "I don't know WHAT the hell you were just talking about." And sometimes I can't speak at all. I really have issues with talking. And then sometimes I'll say something to my doctor, and he'll be like, "the only people you could talk about that with are me and Philip." Sometimes I really don't know what to say, and when I do say it doens't make sense, or even when it does make sense, it's not right. I'm so NOT articulate! I could write decnetly but when people talk to me they sometimes go, "you're weird." Am I weird? Why can't I talk? I've also been drooling a lot nowadays -- something from one of my meds -- and it's SO unatractive. I'm going to get my doctor to do somethning about that. Anyone else have that problem? Anyway, talking and I haven't been getting a long lately, but it really is ESSENTIAL for my debate class. What should I do?

This site is the biggest distraction of my life. I should be doing debate homework right now, but instead on I'm writing on this stupid thing. Anyway, I got one article written today for one of my newspapers! It turned out really well, and I'm really pleased.

And Stephany: How is your daughter enjoying school?

Hi Gwen,

I have drooled too. We can laugh about that, you aren't alone in that dept, and it could be from the meds, Haldol did that for my daughter, but alas so can most any med.
She is liking school. She goes about 2 hours a day right now, to start slow and add more.

I too, can be clumped up when speaking, and I know your frustration.

Most recently, this last week has been awful trying to get my words out, and I never imagined that being a problem, ever, for me, I am the eternal speech giver and motor-mouth.

Hang in there, and good luck in the debate.

As far as aticulate, I think you are.
