Guest guest Posted May 15, 2000 Report Share Posted May 15, 2000 , Good luck tomorrow sweetie.... I pray that everything will go well.... Take care, and let us know when you're home.. Thinking of you! ((((((HUGS)))))) Sonja Re: update - the lap is because my recent hsg showed that my reamining tube is totally blocked, so the doc will check if it is repairable and if so, fix it...if it is a hazard to my health he will remove it...thanks for the thoughts...I'll have give an update as soon as we are home! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Best friends, most artistic, class clown Find 'em here: http://click./1/4054/4/_/26068/_/958255745/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2000 Report Share Posted May 17, 2000 , I'm so glad to hear about your great results! wow! What a relief! And I'm so glad that you're recovering so quickly! but don't overdo things, o.k? Often we feel so well, but pushing things can set you back a whole bunch, so listen to , let him wash the floors!LOL Anyways, I am very exited for you,and pray that the rest will follow quickly also! (hoping for a ++ soon!) take care sonja update Hi all! Surgery went well I was in and out in 6 hours which is a miracle in itself. The results are fabulous...the doc went in and just moved the tube a fraction of an inch and the whole thing straightened out...he then ran the dye through three times and it went right through. he said everything is beautiful and the tube is perfectly healthy. He also said that the on-call doc who did my ep surgery did a great job and everythign has healed well from that. So...good news! I was so prepared for bad news again that i don't think i've processed this yet. The best part is he didn't have to use the CO2 during surgery...so I am not all aching and sore just alittle pain by the 2 incisions...and of course it took them five triess to get the IV going so my arms and hands are a little bruised. I woke up this mornigna nd started doing hte dishes and almost killed me...he went berserk when i tried to clean the kitchen floor...i just can't believe how good i feel. I have had a lap 3 times and this recovery is awesome. The Codeine is helping I'm sure.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2000 Report Share Posted May 26, 2000 Kel, Thank you. It means alot to me. When I got back from my appt I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I am going to pray every night that the surgery is sucessful. Thanks again. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 I'm doing > okay...but around 3-4pm...I'm exhausted!! I could take a nice little > nap...Anyone experience this type of thing??? I go through the same thing every afternoon. If I've had plenty of rest, then it's more like a low bs. I've learned that if I've had enough sleep I eat a light snack around 3pm and it kicks the sugar up enough to prevent the feeling. If I've not had enough sleep, I try to take a 15 min nap when all the kids are playing good and I've got us barracaded inside enough to prevent probable escape, lol.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2003 Report Share Posted April 17, 2003 << I'm trying to exercise and walk each day I'm doing okay >> That's good to here you are at lease walking and exercising a bit. Just keep it up and it gets easier each time. I use to break out in a sweat after a mile walk, now it's nothing. So hang in there, it does get better.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Hello and Group, Here's a brief update on my first taper that I've done in awhile: I did a 10% taper on my 6.7 mg dose of Prozac. Went to 6mgs. It went in the classic way I've often heard described. My withdrawal symptoms started about 2 weeks into the taper with a drop in mood, and then the next day the physical symptoms started: dizziness, cotton head, watery eyes, slight diarreah, etc. These symptoms were fairly mild (I still was able to work), and faded after 3 or 4 days. I feel fine now, with a sort of low grade depression (something I felt much of time before meds, particularly in the winter, that I will need to continue strengthening my coping skills with). In a few more days, I'll start my next 10% taper, bringing me to 5.95 mgs prozac. I'll continue to update. Thanks! Ruth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Kimi, thank you for this e-mail. The emotions? I do feel more, and also sometimes feel " too much " , example: what for somebody would cause feelings of being unsure, in me orbits towards " panic " . But I do recognise it and learn to cope with it without meds and alcohol. I managed to get more relaxed over the weekend, ready for what might happen. I am going through marriage breakdown + my job situation is highly uncomfortable for some time + I am unsure what is happening with my health (going to have gastroscopy soon) + I am going through Menopause...Just a bit of a roller-coaster... But, I am dealing with all this! Your post has helped me to see that I am not alone... Best Wishes Ikam > > Though this year so far has been a hard one for us in many ways it has been a good one too. > As always it seems I am dealing with more health issues, but the good part is we have learned what is the cause of things (Sjogrens syndrome) and so are being able to treat and I feel so much better! Plus I think just knowing what it is that has been wrong with me helps so much! > > My dad has been going down hill with terminal lung cancer. This has been so hard to deal with, hard to see a man who was always so strong who can hardly walk with a walker. But I have been dealing well as can be expected with this. It is hard but I am doing OK. > > We lost our dog too a couple of months ago just two weeks after loosing our cockatiel. It is hard to loose those beloved pets. But this too I have dealt with. I still get a few teary moments when I see another pug or a favorite toy of hers (our other dogs still plays with them) but I am handling it, not something that would have happened in the past. > > During all this I have continued to decrease my Paxil and am down to what will be the final decrease before I am totally off of it! I am currently doing an every other day of the last 5%. This has gone quite well. > > I have been learning to have emotions again and realizing what is normal emotions as well as what is not. If I find I am feeling more anxious or tearful I know it means to look at what is going on in my life. Am I eating correctly? Sleeping well, having too many activities, not taking time for me, have I not been talking nice to myself etc. I use it as a personal evaluation now and do not get all fearful and bent out of shape. > > I do struggle with being quite a bit more emotional the week before and a few days into my monthly but I also know this is not unusual when going through what I fondly call Mental-pause. I know it too will pass in a day or two and I just take some extra me time, like a nice hot soak in the tub. > > So I guess I am saying I have learned some great coping skills, learned more about myself, am learning to feel again and to know when those feeling are getting out of hand and to take steps to a better more fulfilled me. > > Kimi > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > > " I do not ask that Thou should give me some high or noble task.
