going through a very positive patch right now, well two days in succession at least! For example I did an 11 hour marathon drive yesterday through blizzards and atrocious weather, and actually enjoyed every minute. Shame I can't get work up here as a driver sad the dizzy light headed ness is all but under control by taking several antihistamine tablets per day as prescribed by my very patient doctor. I hope everybody is getting on fine with their recovery, best wishes, David smile

      The comma didnt appear where it should, I didnt realise, sorry.☺

      I have a new tablet thingy to type on! Daughter is doing well again so far this week thanks, and yes, she still has her very sweet chocolate craving. I wonder if that will wear off like some of the other side effects? Im glad your smiling. X

      must admit it's kinda strange to get the sudden craving for something you would'nt normally eat, a bit like being pregnant hey hello granny! it maybe coincidence but for weeks I would'nt drink tea or coffee only water, not sure what that was all about! Thankyou for the kiss, I hope people do'nt start gossiping haha.... dream on Davey lad smile

    Nice one. Glad you are having a good window !! I've had a day or so now feeling a lot better. I cut my coffee intake right down to one a day and stopped my e cig. Just having nicotene tablets 4 mg. my friend who is a doc told me to cut right down on caffeine while on flux to begin with as flux is a stimulant it's better to avoid other stimulants like caffeine to try and keep the anxiety down. Ahhhh can't believe I've had a good day!! 😃 lets see what tomorrow brings ...😁

      that's great that you've had a good day! wonderful feeling is'nt it!! problem is when you suddenly have a couple of bad days for no apparent reason, it's like a kick in the nuts at the time. thing to remember is that it's only temporary and will soon be gone, and hopefully in time they will be further apart. did'nt realise flux was a stimulant, maybe that's why i went off my beloved coffee! congrats on the no smoking thing, im an ex smoker myself, it's quite difficult for some people to stop but i was lucky and when i made my mind up that was it, stopped one night and never looked back once, think i would be tempted if id tried nicotene tabs and e cigs, willpower got me there, though ironically enough since i stopped smoking and drinking ive been ill!!! good luck with it all mate smile

      Wow you did good getting off the cigs. Feel low again now lol. Up and down...and yes it's like a big kick in the nuts. Some days I think I'm going crazy from the inside out ...if that makes any sense. Haven't had a drink this year yet. When I'm anxious I tend to medicate myself with alcohol so am leaving it alone for now. When I'm in a good space then there's no problem. What week are you on now Dave? I'm on week 3 ...and it's slowly getting better. Anyway ave a good day  and have a good one!! Thank god for these forums. They keep me going!!😄

    Hi david

    Fab that you sound so positive and are doing so well! That is a mammoth journey, tiring in itself so the fact you managed it without too much anxiety speaks volumes :-)

    May be joing you on 40mg, still struggling with bad blues so looking at my options but your experience and others is very encouraging.

    Hope all continues so positively for you.

    Bfn
