Teppy, I'm not sure if this one would be withing your purview, but just in case you might know, is there any possibility whatsoever of steroid eye drops letting enough steroid into the bloodstream to cause mild behavioral changes? I am having a hard time finding out detailed information about non-occular side effects of Lotemax 0.5% opthalmic soln. It's doing a grand job of helping my poor delicate flower eyes recover from the disaster of repeated allergic reactions to AB drops. But in the last several days I find myself fidgeting - bouncing my legs, mostly. If I concentrate, I can sit still, it's not like an involuntary tremor. I know it is unlikely for an external use steroid to have behavioral effects - but this much fidgeting is highly unusual, and I can't think of any other reason for it. Bearing in mind that Prednisone causes extreme behavioral and mood changes for me, I'm wondering if it is possible that using the Lotemax is connected with the fidgeting.

Daisy~ma, PMM. If I remember correctly, Giardia isn't in the standard screen for viruses/parasites, so if they didn't tell you they checked, you might want to ask.

Not Teppy, but drugs can get to the bloodstream through the eye.

All the ~ma you want, Plei.

Last night St.W came over, and I made dinner, and he brought brownies, and we watched the last two eps of Firefly and then Serenity (poor boo, Wash was his favorite). And, uh, he just left. Man, he's pretty freakin awesome. And he thinks I'm awesome. And he isn't emotionally unavailable or scared of/unable to have a relationship. So, you know, progress.

Glad the DVDs were useful Sparky! Sorry to hear K has joined the motion sick side of the family. It sounds like you're getting closer though, which is wonderful. Is Sass repeating a loop?

Kat - you do accomplish more in a day than I could in a week. True fact. Noah's energy is pretty amazing though! I wish you sleepyhead-non-meltdowny Noah tonight.

Sarameg, cool! Couldn't remember if we were birthday twins or not. (We're not). Sharing a bday weekend with Cory Doctorow and Nicola Tesla's pretty ok.

There was more, but HKF waking at 3 due to a monster bug bite on the sole of her foot has flatlined my brain. Couldn't get back to sleep until 6. Meh. We're doing an overnight in NYC tonight because (for 3 years out of 4), DH's company is sending him elsewhere on my birthday day. Stinkers. Not that it's a big one. But still, stinkers.

Tea (which is sadly not coffee): yay St. Woot!

I know I've told this story before, but it bears repeating,. Every time we saw them, my MiL nagged my DH about his hair (too long), his weight and his smoking. One summer, he stopped smoking. lost 50lbs and got his hair cut. I told him, "Your mother won't have anything to say to you." He assured me that she would find something. Sure enough, we walked in the house and the very first thing she said to him was "Oh, no--your hair has gotten so gray!"

Heh. A friend of mine's mother was always on her to loose weight. Then she lost a bunch of weight. Then she was told she looked too thin. Insane, right? But we figured it out: Her mother was concerned about her weight. REGARDLESS of what it was, her mother was going to be concerned about it.

Not Teppy, but drugs can get to the bloodstream through the eye.

Thanks. As a side effect, fidgeting is pretty darn' tolerable compared to some I've had.

smonster, I'm glad St. Woot likes carrots (you deserve someone to be happy with).... Speaking of, how did he like the spicy carrot salad?

This is a house of WOE!!

Had a dream last night where I was starting a new office job and one of the evals was to rate my top 5 favorite fictional characters. Number 2 was Logan Echols. The rest were HP or Ya-Ya related. So this morning, I've decided it's time for the annual VM rewatch with my eye on Logan.

ONLY, WOE!! Netflix has taken VM off their streaming list!!

WOE WOE WOE.

Must resort to fanfic and/or YouTube.

Whooo!! St. Wooooooot! Glad it was a good night.
