now there is another topic in itself….
the hardest part is there are long acting (take one a day type) or short acting ( take every 3-4hrs) well that’s the theory… there are people who do have to take long acting then on top take a short acting to keep it up
the other part is well it does depend on the severity of it though it seems like the severity scale is no longer being used so years ago it used to be on a classification as mild moderate and severe
then you have the other issue as well… your body developing a tolerance (very common actually) which sucks as you might initially be going well on say 5mg but then in a few months 5mg doesn’t do anything so then you have to up it until there simply isn’t an allowance for that it is very debatable on the management of this some specialists say take a break and others say don’t take a break
I have to say though I do find myself getting frustrated at how it was missed?! And as to what made the specialists “lower” the criteria?!
Recent news article said there has been a very big increase on the number of people being diagnosed… I was like WELL DDDEEEERRRR!!!!! There’s a hell of lot more people in the world and it’s a lot more recognised
occasionally I do come across people that say there is no such thing… that does piss me off…. While I don’t argue with them my brain just goes… well you have no idea how our brains function ain’t so simple as what they think
