week 10 for daughter. a good week
Posted , 6 users are following.
today is the start of week 10.
week 9 went well, i can now see my daughters normal personality, what it was before she became poorly. she still likes the safety of home, and "blanket" time, but she is proberbly 95% there!
side effects are still there, she gets fidgity, she clenches her jaw, and this makes her jaw/teeth hurt so much, and sleep can be hit and miss, BUT thats an improvement as before she didnt sleep for weeks! the night sweats seem to be easing.
she has developed such a sweet tooth!! chocolate has never been a thing she would reach for, but now, crikey, she suddenly loves it, we are hoping this side effect wears off sharpish!!
i found this forum when i panicked, daughter was a few days into this medicine, and she was seeing smoke coming off things, convinced it was real, i needed to try and find some answers, i want to say THANKYOU to all that have helped us, without you, i would proberbly have got the gp to change her tablets, prolonged her recovary, and who knows what could have happened.
she can deal with the side effects now, we are hoping in time, that they all go, but for us, for the last week, its been happy, what more can we ask! fingers crossed this week, week 10 the happiness continues. keep smiling, and once again, thankyou, i really couldnt have done it without your help. xx

one month ago on 10 dec we went out for a meal, and she sat and cried, we then went to a shop with 1 person in, and she had a panic, it was too busy, she couldnt even drive her own car on her own for the anxiety.
such a long journey, in such a short space of time, how are you doing? is it the dr for you this week? i hope your feeling brighter my lovely.

My son is having a really tough time at the moment, so back to taking one day at a time. Always 2 steps forward, 1 step back. We'll get there.

Yes, watching and waiting for symptoms to ease again. Very painful indeed, but more so for him

Sorry to hear your sons struggling again, do you think its change of dose? I know its hard for him and for you too watching him suffer :-( I think you n karen are amazing with your kids - so strong for them.
Hope he feels brighter soon

I've suffered in the past myself so know exactly what he's going through, and all of you too. Watching it repeat itself in our family is hard.
