Re: Sharing my life with Ms Sophie (Bipolar II)
Hi @Shaz51 and @Faith-and-Hope and @Former-Member @and @outlander Thankyou for your replies - I am exhausted today and my Body just wants to sleep for a week lol ... I've been coughing all day - tail end of a head cold .. I do feel like the argument definitely took the wind out of me and has made me tired ... had to visit my mum today which was actually good distraction .. home now and contemplating back to work tomorrow - for hopefully a calm week as I can't take anymore conflict or raised voices

Answering over here, I know with one of Mr Ds meds that adequate fluids are essential especially when there is hot weather or physically active.

Re: Sharing my life with Ms Sophie (Bipolar II)
Bonus re: savings @Sophie1. Mr Darcy was able to get a non script item today too, $8 off usual price and $4 cheaper than chemists home brand. These savings can all add up.
There is the PBS safety net - are you aware that you can register as a family? It may or may not be of some help to you - here is link about it.
I do hope something can be found that will give relief. Medical issues do impact so heavily on mental health.

Re: Sharing my life with Ms Sophie (Bipolar II)
You can also register as a family with medicare @Sophie1
for safety net - this works a little differently and is based on out of pocket expenses and Medicare rebate amount -but is similar in that all family expenses count toward threshold - is done per calendar year.
