After a rough June, I am again feeling better, and the best I have in 5 years.  I think it is important to post positive posts as I know they did a world of good for me. 

I think it is because my mind is totally clear.  I am not paranoid or angry.  No racing thoughts, no thinking what the future will bring, no panic, no shaking.  It is just wonderful.  I am still having joint pains and aches and vision problems but no headaches.  I still nap when I need to (every other day maybe) but my energy is better, I don't feel short of breath.  I can sit on the beach and read or fall asleep on my lounge chair just looking at the sky and truly relax.  I haven't been able to do that for years. 

I don't know what is working but I can tell you something is.  I cut out most dairy (don't know if that helped), slowed my pace, been reading tons of good books, sat on the beach for the past 3 weekends (beach therapy is amazing) and AM LOVING LIFE !

Who knows what tomorrow will bring but right now I'm enjoying today for a change.  tongue

EXCELLENT! I know as I have faced these episodes in the past, they WILL clear! Like, you, I get the racing thoughts, agitation, ruminations on the future, etc. It's wonderful when it clears! I am getting a taste of that the past two days after coming off my Flagyl. Plus, being much more careful of my diet. Did you also cut back on or off gluten? I have been thinking of doing that (have cut back anyways).

Good for you and congrats - enjoy it!

Hi Springjeans

That is wonderful!  It is so good to hear a nice story.  It makes my daughter and I feel that she will one day do much better!  :-)

I do have a question?  I see you are on doryx.  My daughter has always done better on doxy.  However she is not on it now.  Because we cant increase the dose with out her throwing up. So the doctor changed her meds.  An each time we usually end back on the doxy.  Isn't the doryx the same med but with a special coating to keep you from being sick at your stomach?  I'm thinking it is and our insurance doesn't pay for it so its a whopping 1000 bucks.  But if it helps I will buy it somehow.  wink

I'm so glad that you are feeling better!  Thanks for posting this! I'm sure it will make so many feel hope!

Hi-Mama

I understood the doryx to be a time release doxy, so it is more evenly distributed for a longer time. It is very expensive but each time the dr. gives it to me she has given me a discount card. Some type of program by the company that makes it which enables you to pay nothing.
