Think I am out the other side..............fingers crossed





Well here we are another week on and I still have IBS from hell, but on the bright side it is getting easier to cope with. Don't tell anyone but I think I may be coming to the end, because I mean how much more can there be lol??

So in between sleeping, not sleeping and trips to the loo I haven't really been doing too much. I did however find the funniest Fibro blog post I have ever read. When I am over tired I giggle at anything and I found this when I was 24 hours sleep deprived so I thought I was going to pee myself (nearly did if the trugh be told!)

So as there is no news this end I thought I would share it to give you all a good laugh. There is so much misery surrounding fibro it's nice to see the funny side and have a really good laugh so go HERE now and have a good belly laugh.

Thanks for reading (if you did)
Till next time

Weaning off the meds.............



Hi all remember when I wrote this.

Well I sat down and decided I was going to wean myself off the 75mg of Amytriptiline a day I was on.

I was very wary to be honest as I have been on them years and had an allergic reaction years ago and had to stop them. I was in agony and thought I would crack up with the pain. I was even given (after a huge argument with the GP who didn't want to listen to the specialist at the hospital) morphine patches and they did nothing! I thought I would go mad untill a new GP said try them again and see how you go and I was fine weird huh?

So when I decided I wanted to come off them I was dreading the pain coming back and hitting me round the back of the head.

Well here I am nearly off them, I am on 1 every other night till Sunday then it will be none!!! To be honest I feel OK. Apart from extra fatigue and pain it is OK. I can manage this with my painkillers and hot water bottle. I am assuming it will get worse but maybe it wont?!?

I am praying I can cope without the meds as the alternative is scary and I would rather be in pain than lost altogether.

Have any of you tried to come off meds and how did it go?

Thanks so much for reading (if you did)
