Hi Ant,
Just take your time replying - no need to rush for us. Most important is that you do what you have to do to start feeling better. Talking about it might help though?
Take care and I hope you're feeling a bit better soon.

Hi all
well had a very busy day and seemed to cope ok still have got the dreaded shakes and on edge feeling :mad: but am ok
blade the dr has changed the beta blocker to a different one its propranolol he said i could take it as and when so i will let you know if it does any good he did not want me to up the cit so still on 10mg at the moment he also is refering me to have cbt which i have not tryed before but will have to wait a while for that
have had a few moments this week where i have felt sort of "normal" so thats a small achievement,but still have the doom and gloom creeping in at times.
will keep you posted
hope you are all ok :)
Nice to hear from you all , that beer is deffo a target Ant , nice to have you back ! i had a bad night , really wierd dreams , dry mouth , headache :( woke up feeling really shakey this morning , really dont know about doubling the dose of cit .
Good that you have had times when you feel normal Angel .
Had a thought while i was laying awake last night , maybe we dont have anxiety maybe we just dont live the life we want , maybe we are different and need to live different ? , yes i am tired , maybe i,m still having a strange dream , :) who knows !
Well the sun is shining anyway , onwards and upwards !!!!
sorry you a rubbish night blade if your not happy with upping i wouldn't or just don't double it try 30mg see how it goes,but then im no dr and you got to do what you feel hate the not knowing what to do for the best :mad:
and you could have a point about not living the life we want !!!
going to just chill today if i can see how it goes !!!
hope you all have a good day :)
Hi Blade, thought Id check in with you and catch up. You have been through the mill eh?
"So WHAT if my hands shake! They are STILL good hands to use........" My fav quote from Dr Claire Weekes (Self-help for your nerves). Have you read it?
So.....how many weeks since you increased your dose? You are still clearly suffering side-effects.......your doc said to go back if no improvement, yes?
I hope you get to enjoy the sun today, and are eating well? (Pot noodle (tomato & beef ONLY) not required...lol. I hope you have a good day today, just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you x
(And all of you who are going through it too!)
Paula x :bighug1:
Thanks for the support Paula , hope you ok . Not been able to look a pot noodle in the eye since my initiation !!!. ill have a look for that book , cant believe i,m so shakey today ?
Look its ok. It really is ok. This is a side effect, not some symptom of some terrible disease. I know you are stressed about it, (tried several meds, all terrible side effects). Go about your day with the shakes. The sooner you stop fearing it and getting anxiety over it, the sooner it will start loosing its power over you. It will still be there, but you have to not let it bother you.....please please take a look at the book. I go about my day and give all my sensations and feelings permission to come with me.....you take back control. They are still around, but it does get better......find that book, read it, underline the sentences that appeal to you, and lets go from there. You will find wellness. Its a given. PM me anytime. Been there, done that........never surrender commerade!
Thought about getting hubby GSXR for his birthday, checked out prices, changed my mind....now hes getting "Just for men" hair dye! :shades:
Keep going. You can do this. You ARE doing this......nobody ever got well without going through all the crap first x
Good advice Paula , and your caption is good too , i wont give up , this is the year i will beat this , i just need a few glimmers of improvement .
Ill be looking for a new fireblade real soon as the suns out now , and biking makes me feel free
keep in touch
