Hi Stormy. I really feel for you:( so sorry that you not feeling good:( maybe you should stay at home for few days? :hugs:
Re: How to survive first weeks on Fluo?
Hi Princess,
Not sure if staying at home is the answer because I would be on my own & the demons start to appear. Feel like you, shall we both Hibernate for the winter, then by the time we wake up all this will be over !!!! xx
Re: How to survive first weeks on Fluo?
What a great idea:) hibernate :) I wish it's possible. Have you manage to eat anything today Stormy? I just had 2 glasses of smoothie which propably is one if the reasons why I feel so weak and shaky but I really can't eat anything:(
Re: How to survive first weeks on Fluo?
Hi Princess,
Just had the other half of the soup, but drank it out of a cup, could'nt be bothered to spoon it into my mouth. had half a banana this morning to take my tablet.
How I am longing for a nice rare fillet steak, with all the trimmings, bottle of ice cold Chablis wine, & some Dime Bar ice cream. Well I can dream xx
Re: How to survive first weeks on Fluo?
If not that I had a 2 diazepams today I would propably have a glass of wine (only one). I will try to eat a little bit of spaghetti and a glass of 0% rose wine;)
Re: How to survive first weeks on Fluo?
Hi Princess,
I have been very tempted to have a glass or two because I know it settles me down. let me know if you have one & how you feel xx
Re: How to survive first weeks on Fluo?
Well i just had a little bit of spagetti but instead of wine I have a Shloer in wine glass... :) G is back from work which is great I just wish his off tomorrow.

Re: How to survive first weeks on Fluo?
Hey Princess2206,
I know you just want to sleep away the side effects. I found the the that works the best is keeping busy, walking, cleaning, and chatting with positive friends. These side effects are terrible, but you can do it and will :)
