So in only 2 weeks (since I started Zyprexa) I have gained 14
pounds. FOURTEEN!!!! Stupid drugs! I have started another drug to try and stop the side effect of weight gain of the Zyprexa UGH.
My son is still in the hospital, I will hopefully be meeting
his assigned psychiatrist tomorrow at a Family Meeting.
I guess I am as good
as I am going to be BUT…. I must tell
you – sure I am not super happy, and not looking for a job or starting back at
school, nor do I have the drive to take on the world BUT… I am not sad, I am handling my son’s situation
without the constant thought of suicide and tears. I would still HIGHLY recommend
rTMS to EVERYONE suffering from depression and bipolar disorder…
So folks (those of you in Alberta anyway) we need to start a
letter writing campaign to the Premier, the Health Minister, and your MLA to
include coverage of rTMS under Alberta Health Care.
Contact Premier's Office: Premier Alison Redford
Mail: Office of the Premier Room 307, Legislature Building
10800-97 Avenue Edmonton, Alberta T5K 2B7
Contact Minister of Health and Wellness: The Honourable Fred
Horne
Mail: Legislature Office 208 Legislature Building 10800 - 97
Avenue NW Edmonton, AB Canada T5K 2B6
Phone: (780) 427-3665
Fax: (780) 415-0961
**I need to call his office to get his email address
MLA List:
Let us see what we can do… the Premier tweets perhaps we can
get her there too. This is a Premier that is not afraid to spend money, but I do
not know the process in getting thing added to the covered items under Alberta
Health.
Once I get my letters written I will post them on here too………
Talk to y’all tomorrow…
