Re: Awkward question - Sorry
Hi Jo.
I dont know about that one with the burning but with the breakfast yes! A good few people have porridge before or just after taking the cit. and its a stress buster too. If yiu havent been following a good diet try 'grazing ' and having many small meals thru the day . I think your tummy will cope better then,
take care

Hey Jean
Thanks for the response. Am sure it is all related so will just take the tablets an hour or two later (currently taking at 6.30am) and make sure I have something to eat first. Not sure I can manage the porridge, but a cereal bar and a banana I can do lol
Am now at home with some ROOIBOS tea with a little milk in it. I stopped drinking any hot drinks and anything with milk in it 3 weeks ago when I "broke" and am now taking steps to get back to normal.
as an aside the tea is lovely
Hope you are well
Jo
Re: Awkward question - Sorry
Hey Jo.
Cant do rooibos. it smells like a red bush of any plant to me lol, I do chamomile and everything decaffinated. The porridge does make me gag but I persevere as I am driving round visiting people for 2/3 hours. I am 4 1/2 months into cit just had it upped to30mgs as having reactive anxiety to a sudden change in workplace so feeling a bit meh! at the moment I know when it starts to wear off as my heart speeds up just a bit but then I take my amitryptiline and then I relax, whew!
Take care it will come round and you will feel like it all happened long ago.

Hi Jean
I agree it will be an acquired taste, but have drunk Green Tea and Chai Latte in the past and this seems to be a cross of the two so should be fine lol
Never been a porridge fan. Before all this and soon again hopefully I was a granola and yogurt breakfast person and will try to get back to that when at work. I suppose it just means I have to make the effort to get out of bed at the weekend and eat something to take the tablet (then maybe sneak back under the covers for an hour) - if my sleep goes back to normal lol
Hope yours settles again soon and I look forward to all this feeling like a distant memory

Re: Awkward question - Sorry
Have some dry skin going on at the moment....no rash or soreness just generally dry arms and legs mainly
Ho Hum - out with the creams lol
Re: Awkward question - Sorry
Hi Jo.
could be the time of year, could be hormonal IF you are at a certain stage of your life (meno) lol I started to find that with my legs looking really scaly hahaha. I was morphing as well as losing my mind AAAARRRGGHH!!!! Intense moisture cream does the trick.

Hi Jean
Am 36, but entered a very early meno when I was early 20's and was on HRT for about 9/10 years back then lol. Can suffer with some dry skin anyway, but as you know when like this every little thing becomes a big thing lol
Still hating the ealy morning anxiousness I have to say, worse at weekends when no work - annoyingly just the time you want to relax! Still hoping that will ease off as well probably with the up in meds as well as time as I am still only on the 10mg into dose right now
Hope your weekend is a good one

Re: Awkward question - Sorry
Hi Jo
My anxiety is rising again at the weekends I want to keep busy . I go on the laptop then start the yawning again and I fell asleep for a second or 2 and I didnt like it.in fact it un nerves me a bit.
Dry skin is part of the process then. and it becomes a bit more fragile I think.
you have a good weekend too

Re: Awkward question - Sorry
Hi Jean
Probably just due to the recent increase then maybe? Is a tricky thing I know, you just want to unwind and I feel bad for my husband as he mainly then sees the downs I have rather then the ups.
Here's hoping we both settle down again soon and get all our life back
Jo
