Nova--thanks. I get that. My daughter will drive off to work and I'll sob hysterically that I may never see her again or that I'm jealous I can't go anywhere. The littlest thing will set me off. Your

Lynn- congrats!!! Wow- you did persevere!

 

I am holding trying to stabilize from a couple bad cuts. I updosed a bit to help- and it did- about a wk after, I felt much better. Now it's been 10 days since I've been feeling much better- not perfect but happy, energetic and way less physical sxs. My appetite came back but still not normal GI wise- still losing more than I should be. So on the up and up overall. Then yesterday, I started getting a stye in my eyelid and it actually hurt quite a bit. My w/d sxs got much worse last night and today. I'm so annoyed that something so little could flare up my sxs so much! I guess this means I'm not stable... But does being this sensitive to outside factors - does this continue the whole taper? Once I'm more stable, should this being so fragile go away???

 

And once stable, how long should I continue to hold before tapering again? I will be switching to dry MT from c/h. I know the answer is listen to my body.... But taking Lynn's advice to check in here to bounce ideas to see when to start the MT. I know Valley Um says wait 4 wks once stable. Looking for others' input too. Thank you!

Hi to MiYu, Freeme, helpingmyex311, and all my other buddies who are suffering for so long and so much,

 

I'm here reading but have not responded because the buddies who are responding know so much more than I do. And I couldn't add anything more if I tried,

I just wish, as I have heard wished here before, that there was a quick solution for you who have been having constant waves for so very long.

 

So at least I am here with empathy and encouragement. What you are doing, fighting on, and not losing the faith that you WILL get through this, demonstrates your resolve, strength, and courage. I can only imagine how difficult it is to hang in the way you are.  It makes me ashamed of the times I complain, because it seems like you are going through much, much more than I ever have.

 

I do believe that you will win this battle however long it may take! You will be free. You have proven that you can do it!  it will happen!

Always remember that the window, the break through you are looking for , may be right around the corner!

 

Wishing you peace, and healing, continued strength, continued courage, continued faith.

 

Heathcliff :smitten:  :therethere: :therethere: :therethere::mybuddy: :mybuddy: :mybuddy:

 

I am so sorry for those still struggling and I Pray that you all have a turn about soon, I wish I could offer more words of comfort, and I know you have heard many, but it does not make it better, I know that it is hard to read about us that are close to getting off and doing well. Please know I know your distress and pain, maybe not the burning, but the feeling that things will not change, but they will, when that is a Million dollar question. I read all the time, but tend to not post much as I know it is so hard for those struggling. I know that this is not easy, and know that we are all wanting you all to have Peace and more healing.

 

Helping,I have no thoughts about what you and Ex should do concerning Medications. But I just want you to know I have been following your Journey here at BB and I admire you for sticking with your Ex, many of us do not have Support from Family and Loved ones and it is so admirable that you are helping and devoting time to your Friend. I Pray that things get better for him and that you stay strong and that Life is good to you. :thumbsup:

 

Both of you made me cry. Not sad tears just tears of feeling accepted and worthwhile and that I can do this too. It means a lot to hear that others are doing well. I don't know about other people but it brings me hope which helps me perservere. You guys are great and I really appreciate your kind and uplifting words.

 

Congratulations Lynn. The day is here and you made it. I'm so excited and happy for you.  :yippee::clap:

 

I remember a thrid person making a milestone too. Who is the second person? I'm so confused. Have to love being in a wave. Brain, what brain??? Am I supposed to have a brain. Looking forward to the partay at least. I hope I can find my way there :D I prefer the waves of a beach anyway :D

I want to thank you all for the congratulations and warm thoughts and wishes.

 

You folks are my friends.  You are my homies. :D  You are the ones that I share the ups and downs with.  This support group has been a home to me for the past 14 months.  I think I am a charter member.  I've read a ton of posts, threads, different boards, etc. over the past 18 months - since I landed on BB.  (yes...I do have far too much time on my hands! ;D) and this group is a standout.  Just a stellar bunch of the kindest, most caring and most fun-loving people I have ever had the good fortune to meet.

 

I'm so proud of each and every one of you and so very, very glad to have met you. :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

 

I'll be looking over my shoulder and will be seeing you on the other side. :thumbsup:

I'm still having a terrible time picking out a swimsuit, but I have it narrowed down.

I'll just pack all of them and share with anybody who needs one.

Catching the midnight flight. I'll be there soon!

I don't see any 2-piece suits folks(?).  I'm in one after a 20yr hiatus - thanks to the benzo taper diet.  So...I guess there is one good thing! :crazy: :crazy:
