Some good news

[steph74]

I've been feeling good!  I realized I have been feeling reasonably good all around (despite yucky jet lag from a week in Asia) for more than a week!  Not just a day or two, but pretty continuously.  I've been able to cut out the gabapentin from my TN meds (still taking lyrica--w/o it the pain is coming back).  I've also felt less fatigued (not taking the nuvigil most days either!)

Just wanted to share the good, too.  I feel like I unload so many complaints here, I want to share the "yeah!" moments, too!!

Thanks everyone.  :)  You never know how long this will last, but when it's been more than a week, I feel like it's not just a "blip" of good days.  Plus, in 19 months of having TN, I've never been able to successfully reduce my medication dosage.  I still have to take it, and I know it's not gone, but it's SOOO much better than it was.

I'm glad to see a few others are feeling good too and I hope everyone gets a turn soon.  This wonderful fall weather has got to have something to do with it!  :)

Steph:

Hooray for you! Let the good times roll.

I'm happy to say that I have joined your club. My dizziness and vision problems subsided about three weeks ago and I have been able to drive to work on time every single day! That hasn't happened in more than 6 months, so I am joyful.

I also have more energy/less fatigue. My DS went out of town and left the place a MESS (and when I write mess, I truly mean it, as in not fit for human habitation). So I knocked myself out cleaning yesterday. Muscles are a bit sore today, but having the place look like my home again is more than worth it.

Celebrate!

Steph, Isn't it funny when we feel well we notice it but have become pretty numb to not thinking anything of feeling poorly?

Those good days always jump out at me - I hope they continue for you.

be well, Lulu
