I thought I posted this on May 21, but couldn't find it on this thread, so I'm posting it again today ...
More update -
am still entirely off all meds, including Synthroid & PremPro. am MUCH better than last week - have regained stability, strength, and most importantly, sense of humor!i like that TV commercial that has people saying, "I went to the grocery today ... " "I walked upstairs ... " "I played with my grandchildren." simple things.
that's how i've been measuring progress. my previous status (for several years) - on a typical day, I had to take a nap, every activity was a burden, and "unnecessary" tasks never got attempted (like putting socks away, or something).
now on most days i don't need a nap, I've done vacuuming, gardening, tackled some clearing out jobs, started working on the book i'm supposed to be working on, doing things i enjoy again (and actually enjoying them!) and most importantly, becoming brave enough to try.
with all this comes an emotional shakeup, of course, so each day i just ask myself to only get through that day, and try not to worry about the next one.
all best wishes to all of you! keep having faith that there's a better tomorrow.
