Guest guest Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 is very boring I remember my mother always saying that if you don't have anything good to say, keep quiet. I've been feeling so tired and fatigued lately that I have no energy to do anything. Plus I can't sleep as usual. The heat isn't bothering me at home cause I have a/c but doesn't. But I'm so frustrated with myself ... if I spill a bit of water on the floor, it's seems like a mammoth task to grab a rag and wipe it up! Pretty bad huh? I stopped all my meds except for my bp one and I don't feel any worse mswise. I'm not really sure baclofen did much for me besides giving me rubber legs. Truthfully I prefer diazepam. I think I mentioned my leg/foot swelling had gone down lots when I stopped the amitryptilene. Well I've been taking Fossavance for over a year and the heartburn got unbearable. First just the day and night I took it and then eventually all the time. It was also making me eat Tums like candy which made my stomach upset and negated the acidity of mandelamine, my urinary antibacterium. Anyhoo less drugs, the better I feel! I am really interested in Ampyra altho my chances of getting it are about nil. I think was talking about her problems with Rebif. Well I qualify for disability but because I worked in the family business and didn't take off deductions .... thanks ex *sarcasm intended*. I'm not eligible for any disability pension . A question re LDN to Dan and those who take it ... my balance and gait are my worst symptom. Does LDN offer any help with that? I'm still on the lookout for a Cdn dr to prescribe it ... I just don't like what I've heard about drugs from India to order online. And another probably silly question, if it's used to help addicts, does it give you any 'high' like methadone does? That scares me; a few puffs of marijuana landed me in the hospital hallucinating for days. I don't seem to have any tolerance for mindaltering drugs of any type hugs, Cait Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Hi CaitLDN didn't make me feel anything weird--no high. I think what it does for addicts is keep the drugs from giving the feeling they are looking for. So the way I understand it will give more of an "anti high" feeling. How far is it for you to go to Duluth? I wonder if there is a doc there who will prescribe LDN for you? I'm trying to remember where I saw the list of doctors who prescribe LDN. I'll try to figure it out and send it later on this evening.I worry about you. Were you on an anti-depressant before you quit your meds? I quit all my meds last year, too. Well I do still take BP and thyroid meds but I quit all the MS stuff. I agree with you on the baclofen. I feel so much better and more awake now that I'm off baclofen and neurontin. I quit because of my severe dry mouth but I do feel better overall. big hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Don't worry about me Sharon ... then I'll have to worry about you worrying about me lol. Seriously I'm okay, just no energy and I'm worrying because the $'s I'd saved and saved for the home renos is gone and I've still got the upstairs and basement to do. offered to lend me the money but then I'd feel like I'd have to sell right away. And I'd rather stay here as long as I can. And yes I've been on prozac for years and am going to start it again. I just got fed up swallowing pills that ended up making me feel sick. So process of elimination Oh, forgot my good news! I lost 8 pounds in 3 weeks ... all I can think of is I've temporarily lost my sweet tooth so no Jelly Belly's, no ice creams, etc. Really started me the other day when I didn't even have to upzip my pants to pull them down Duluth is only about 3 1/2 hours away btw ... hugs, Cait My Update is very boring I remember my mother always saying that if you don't have anything good to say, keep quiet.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 Not a boring update at all, Cait. Are you stopping meds with the consentand watchfulness of a doctor? I'm just concerned is all. Additionally, areyou tapering these meds and not stopping them cold turkey, as that canbe dangerous!I can relate to the mammoth task thing; small things seems so looming inmy mind.I am so sorry to hear of the disability. That really stinks!Keep posting; we are here for you!love, Kate My UpdateTo: MSersLife > is very boring I remember my mother always saying that if > you don't have anything good to say, keep quiet.

I hate complaining but I've caught a flu bug from my granddaughter and its turning into a cold. Enough, I'm always complaining! I've started decluttering and on Monday I've a man coming in to help clean out the basement. Either I want it restored back to an unfinished basement or have it redone as cheaply as possible. I put my foot down on , either he take the stuff I'm getting rid of or let it go to trash even though it'might' get a bit in a yard sale he'll never end up having. But in any case, it is not going in my garage! Did I say he's absolutely no help in this yet my moving to an apt saves him a lot of work. He takes care of the grass and yard, plows the snow, and fixes minor things. Considering he has his own home, has a bad back to the point of being classified as 'disabled', you'd think he would be happy! Anyway he's making me more anxious about moving to an apt than I am by myself! Anyway I'm skeered and that's probably mostly due to having panic disorder most of my life. I know it's the right thing to do both for my health, my finances and my sanity (staring at housework I hurt too badly to do makes me feel rotten). I've narrowed it down to two apartments ... both in areas I like and both senior buildings (50+). Both have a/c which believe it or not, the majority of apts here don't have. One is 985 sq feet and the other 875. Gulp, I've 4 bedrooms, a basement, family room and garage to empty! I'm kind of leaning to the smaller one because it's newer, has full size appliances including a dishwasher. Plus washing machines on every floor. Did I ever mention I'm scared of riding in elevators alone. And the last time I had to live in an apt and go down to the basement to do laundry, I was attacked by a mean drunk who nobody figured out how he got in the building! Anyway, I'm plugging along. Not really much progress to see if you walked in. But then you'd have no idea how much this house contains! Oh and I swear that when I do sell, I'm going wherever to get angioplasty. CCSVI makes so much sense to me... hugs, Cait Free 3D Marine Aquarium Screensaver Watch dolphins, sharks & orcas on your desktop!
