Inspired by PurplePersuasion’s blog, I’ll post my own numbers from the time I became sick four years ago:

• Age of onset–37
• Day I became floridly psychotic–May 17th, 2008
• Days elapsed between onset and admittance into the hospital–333 – seriously
• Days spent floridly psychotic–425 (estimate)
• Number of psychiatrists seen–seven
• Number of hospitalizations since onset–two
• Total number of medications prescribed–16 (four anti-psychotics, four anti-depressants, four anti-anxiety medications)
• Current dose of medications–30 mg Aripiprazole, 1 mg Lorazapm (both pm)
• Average cost of medications per month–$61.50
• Cost of medications per month in the U.S. if I didn’t buy them from India–$967
• Cost of doctor visit–$45
• Number of daily vitamins–four (Omega 3, C, B complex, Multivitamin)
• Average amount of sleep per night–nine hours
• Average number of hours worked per week–35
• Number of jobs (including volunteer) held since onset–five
• Number of years until I felt myself again–pending

I pass the torch to NetGuru. Maybe he will share his numbers.
