Thank you so much for all the good vibes and support. I worry about putting anything in print and posting with this brain fog. It was rather long winded with a dash of drama. Although I was dragging this was a definite mile stone in my life and one of the most trying events. Up there with having twins.
Marcia you will be my mentor. My husband asked when I would drop the AD's after watching my emotional roller coaster the last 2 weeks. I thought I would wait and see how I felt after a month.
Anyone else have experience with this?
Thank you again everyone for all your understanding.
For those that are still treating hang in there time does fly by and this too shall pass.
I wish you all lots of love and strength,
Connie
YAY!!!! Last shot sounds great! I'm so happy for you that you made it and that you could have a follow up party with your friends!! Way to go! Hope you feel better real soon!
Hugs, Marcia
Btw, I finished 2 weeks ago and went from a Gothic itching vamp lying almost lifeless in bed to an a§§ kicking mean a§§ dragon slaying sista... lol... and I'm stark raving mad... off my AD's and am going to start training at the gym again... this week...
So there is life after tx...
Now we just hope we exterminated the dang dragon with it's dang smelly dragon breath, too.
Nice style to re-enter the world with. Good luck!
Its soooooo good to be finished. I love your last-shot plan, sounds like a great little "its over" ritual. Like you, I was a the beach on last shot day, surrounded by family who celebrated with me. Fit by 50 is a good goal. You'll be great, and soon you can post your SVR news and we can all cheer for you again!

Such a great post. What a great way to do EOT. I am going to start planning my own party now.
You have a super group doing their last shots...I believe portann called it an April litter....I was thinking it's like you all are the April showers.....by May, you will all be spring flowers =)
Thanks for reminding all of us still txing what we are working towards....I can almost touch it, it is sooooo close. I will forever cherish Spring.
Congratulations and the very best to you on the completion of tx.
You have every reason to be hopeful! You are one of the lucky ones!
Wish you well and a speedy trip back to life again! :}}}

Dear Connie,
Thank you so much for your story. I really enjoyed reading it and admire you for picking yourself up to travel to Santa Cruz and rekindle your friendships with the very people who were there at the beginning of your journey.
I will keep your story close to me today because tonight is my last shot. I have a rather strange bag of feelings welling up inside me and just to prove it, I picked a needless quarrel with my husband this morning.
I fantasized many moons ago that last shot-day would be heaven. :)
Wishing you love and strength, too.
Congratulations!! I sent you a note as well, I knew you were near the end. Here's to getting your mojo back.lol good luck with your new life!!

You will get your mojo back! Maybe not as quickly as you might like, but it will come. One of my best friends treated several years back (and cleared). She told me she started back in the gym about 3 months post Tx. I should say she eased back into the gym. I was talking to a guy who went through it about if my skin would ever come back from all this dryness. He said it will. He did say it took many months but it will happen. I'm so happy that you are done! Best to you, Anne
Being a RVR on SOC is a done deal....i think the odds are over 90%
Congrats on being done, you wrote........... I am 1a RVR, UND at 4 weeks with VL <400,000 so I am hopeful.
And you have every reason to be hopeful being a 1a with a RVR.
Glad you had a great time, all of us who have treated know you earned it........ Next will be SVR......... Wishing you the best
