    THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTH AND CENTRAL TEXAS. TONIGHT: THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE TONIGHT SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM BONHAM...TO DALLAS-FORT WORTH...TO LAMPASAS. SOME STORMS MAY CONTAIN MODERATE RAINFALL...ESPECIALLY SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM SULPHUR SPRINGS...TO CORSICANA...TO CAMERON...WHERE ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS BETWEEN ONE HALF INCH AND ONE INCH WILL BE POSSIBLE. THIS ADDITIONAL RAIN MAY AGGRAVATE ONGOING FLOODING ISSUES ACROSS THESE AREAS.

    I think we've had three inches of rain since the weather event began.

    Overnight:
    Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm. Cloudy, with a low around 58°F. North wind around 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.
    Thursday:
    A chance of showers, then showers and thunderstorms likely after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 66°F . North northeast wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

    Let's see if we can consolidate some of the "what are you eating/drinking/breathing" threads into this one.

    I am currently ingesting Crystal Light tea. Just had some hummus & pita chips beforehand. I'm considering getting a glass of Bulgarian buttermilk (I was shocked that my local Albertson's actually had the Bulgarian style! Nom.).

    Another middle-of-the-night wake-up session. I crashed some time between 9:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m., then woke up at around 12:30 a.m. Now, I had a nap yesterday afternoon from approximately 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., but that was partially phenergan-induced. It shouldn't have affected my sleep/wake cycle, especially with me taking Ambien CR.

    I don't feel grogged out, as mentioned in my previous post. I have a bit of a headache, but not much else besides than my usual aches and pains.

    Anyone here with Brintellix experience? It seems to be quite new—so new, in fact, that my cardiologist's nurse couldn't enter it into my medicine records from the office database. It wasn't listed yet. My wife told her primary doctor about it and got an "it's rather good" response from her. Anyone else know anything about it?

    As with the thread from the previous incarnation of the board, I begin this one with a request that the information within remain confidential. This is a thread for those seeking support as they deal with very sensitive situations involving either their own or a loved one's health. Please let this be a thread where such information can be shared with a level of trust.

    Now, back to the topic at hand.

    I picked up my second filling of Brintellix yesterday—all $141 of it, for a month's supply. I find it odd that it is an antidepressant, yet the price is so high that it is depressing just to purchase it.

    As for its effects, I'm still getting used to them. I haven't been able to sleep for more than three hours at a time for a couple of weeks now. When I do wake up in the middle of the night, I'm not groggy. In fact, I feel for at least a short time that I've had a decent night's sleep. That sensation only lasts a few hours, though. I don't crash out—I just sort of fade to the point where I need to sleep again. Very weird.

    I've also lost weight. Not a lot, but every pound counts, and it's been a slow and steady drop. Some of this might be related to the small dose of metformin that I'm on (my A1C hit 6.5 again, causing my primary doctor to freak out). I seriously don't know. Whatever the reason, it made my cardiologist happy at my appointment yesterday.

    Speaking of cardiologists, mine determined that I am status quo as far as my PVCs are concerned. He hasn't seen them in the short 30-second EKGs he runs at every appointment, but the memory of my Holter monitor results from several years ago is enough to keep him on his toes. Still, he saw no reason to increase my lisinopril or to add a beta blocker to my shoebox full of medicines.

    I hope this thread will be as useful as the last one was. Thanks for any support you can provide.
