No real changes, but no back-tracking!

Vyvanse Journal - Week 6
April 10 to 13, 2025
Nothing new to report. I have noticed a lot of jaw-clenching, so will monitor. It's a rough time of year.
April 14 to 16, 2025
Nothing new, jaw-clenching still occurring, and I'm experiencing worse allergies than usual. That's probably just nature trying to kill me, like usual!

Vyvanse Journal - Week 5
April 3, 2025
I had my first follow-up doctor's appointment since starting the Vyvanse. The doctor was slightly concerned that my anxiety looked moderate, but we're only just coming out of winter and I'm sure that'll calm down eventually. Another two weeks at 40mg, then increase to 50mg if needed.
April 4, 2025
Still seeing a weird calm where there wasn't before, in terms of the medication working. I don't feel as overwhelmed when faced with a lot of disorder, chaos, and work. My therapy session today was celebratory!
April 5 to 9, 2025
Nothing new to report.

Vyvanse Journal - Week 4
March 27, 2025
Started 40mg today. Also I have cut down my morning tea intake (by not steeping the bag as long). I still notice an elevated heart rate but it isn't overly high.
I'm still not sure if I've noticed any improvements with regards to ADHD. I have felt calmer overall.
March 28, 2025
Nothing new to note. Last year I had signed up for the Around The Bay race that is happening on Sunday, but I won't run this time, just walk. After my mini heart scare in February (weird chest pain when pulling my son on his sled), I ain't risking anything!
March 29/30, 2025
Nothing to note - no new/worsening side effects, nothing really tangible to note as an improvement.
March 31, 2025
Possibly seeing less anxiety when faced with overwhelming choices/tasks. Interesting!
April 1, 2025
Again, another day of managing to wade through tasks and pivot when priorities changed without much anxiety. Maybe this stuff is starting to work!
April 2, 2025
Nothing really new beyond the slight clarity. I imagine it's still getting in my system, and possibly not enough yet, but we'll see. I meet with my doctor tomorrow.

End of March Update
WIPs (new ones are bolded)
Ten Stitch Blanket, Caron Cakes (started 2019)
Walter's Blanket, Lion Brand Mandala Sparkle (Started July 16, 2024)
Bright Stripes Throw, Caron Anniversary Cakes (Started September 5, 2024)

Hibernating
Dancing Bees MKAL, Debbie Bliss Rialto Lace (started 2015 - oops)
End of month yarn stats: 61 entries, 87 skeins, 25234.7 metres, 8629 grams.
February. WTF.
I did buy yarn, though not at Handknit, but at Mary Maxim's right before the massive snowstorm on the Family Day weekend. And some gift yarn for a friend.
And the yarn I bought for the gift is Paton's Canadiana in pink and purple. Pretty sure I'd just destashed some of that last month, too (oops).
March goals:
1. No yarn (do I say that every month?) unless there's a really, really good reason!
2. Finish the fourth Musselburgh.
3. Work on the Cable Car Coat.
4. Survive.
Ah, March. Honestly, you weren't too bad and you're basically over. There's been a lot of knitting, but I have a ton of squares to make for the mitred square blanket, so it feels like I've gotten nothing done. I participated in a test knit, which is something I've wanted to get back into for a bit. I only bought one skein of yarn for the blanket (was short a ball).
Sounds great, yeah? Well, I did go to the fibre market on March 23 and maaaaybe got some fibre (for my new e-spinner that came). It's not technically stash, right?
April goals:
1. No yarn (or fibre) unless it's a really good deal.
2. Finish the squares for the blanket and pin down the layout.
3. Decide on the seaming choice for the blanket squares.
4. Spin! Weekly.

Vyvanse Journal - Week 3
March 20, 2025
Today I started taking 30mg. Next Thursday is 40mg.
March 21, 2025
I forgot to take it this morning! But I did take it around 2pm instead of 6:30am. I think it will be okay.
March 22, 2025
I felt happy and not anxious today.
March 23, 2025
Happy again today, though a little sneezy (likely allergies).
March 24/25, 2025
I think it was either really, really bad allergies or a slight cold. I stayed home these days. On Monday I had a sore throat and on Tuesday I had some dizziness and shortness of breath, but both days I felt tired and congested.
March 26, 2025
Went to work today, but my heartrate was still spiking. Felt short of breath, too. Being very watchful, since this is a serious side effect (if related to the Vyvanse and not allergies/a cold). Will cut my tea intake in half for now.

Vyvanse Journal - Week 2
March 13, 2025
Began taking 20mg. No noticeable changes or symptoms.
March 14/15, 2025
Nothing new on Friday, nothing new on Saturday. Still drinking morning tea (though had an evening tea on Friday).
March 16 - 19, 2025
Apart from not being as hungry as often, I haven't noticed anything different.
