So, it has been roughly 4 months without any meds, and I feel good! Not TOO good, but I am definately happy. I painted my wifes belly cast tonight and didn't have the shakes from the Lithium. I was so very happ to make a straight brush stroke, I almost cried, instead I shared this info with my wife, who was thrilled with this aspect of the deletion of meds. I am getting back in touch with my creative side and actually, my creative side is all of me! I am writing more, painting, drawing and even teaching myself vector graphics. Pretty neat stuff man! Anyway it is off to the land of nod for this little imp! Have a blessed day!
