getting by

[mominstress]

As usual, there are tons of new names here on Monday Morning.  I hope everyone awoke ready to go at it today.  I admit, my energy is waivering, but working the Thomas Recipe (in a milder form).  It really seems to be helping.  I would like to hear from Chrosty after reading her post.  You have encouraged me so many times.  I know you can do it.  To all the new people- welcome- and to all the regulars...good morning.

Great to hear that you are still fine, even if your energy is waivering a bit. It is a great inspiration to see it can be done.
I am tapering this week and will quit Saturday - I have also gathered all the items on the Thomas-recipe, but am interested to know what you mean by milder form? All information is appreciated.
Have a fine day and take care.

Thanks for saying hello this morning.  By "milder form".  I mean that I am not doing so much of the xanax.   And the L-Tyroseine (sp) can affect thyroid, so I am not doing that.  I am however taking B6, B12 and the multi supplement with the minerals.  The immodium saved me.  That is pretty much it.  I started out at 3-4 hydros a day.  I tapered my last 6 days.  (quick I know, but I was running out)  I took 2 for 2 days, 1 for 2 days, and 1/2 for 2 days. Along with the vitamins.  Good luck.  Tapering is hard.  The control thing is a mind trip. I was glad when I ran out.

You are right - I couldn't do the tapering thing week after week, I have tried already, but I will try and lower the intake to make it a little bit easier Saturday.
Do you know more about the L Tyrosine and thyroid? I have myxoedema, which is a condition with a deficiency of circulating thyroid hormones, so I wouldn't want to do anything to aggravate the situation. It is supposed to be extremely good for energy.
Thanks for the info - I hope you will soon feel better.

Goodmorning to you all. I haven't been around in awhile. but have had some health issues to deal with, but as far as that i am starting to do ok.. its good to see all the regulars and its nice to see some new faces.. Have a good one..

Sorry, I don't know much else about it.  The sales person in the health food store told me it stimulates thyroid.  You could probably read up on drug website.  or call the health food store in your area.  They might know more.
Good luck.
