my update

[Guest guest]

I went back on the full dose of Remeron three days ago (15 mg), and

today I am feeling better than I have in several weeks. My appetite

is actually starting to come back, and the pain and anxiety are not as

bad as they were. My plan is to stay at the full dose for a few weeks

and then start cutting back again. I got the probiotic and the

Goatein today and will start taking them tomorrow. I have not had

much luck in finding limu locally, so I guess I will have to order it

online. If possible, I would prefer capsules instead of liquid. I

don't do well with anything that tastes bad.

When I met with my counselor today, we talked a lot about how my

issues with my mom color the way I see things today. I have made a

lot of progress in this area, but I still have far to go. My

counselor made me realize that a lot of the anxiety I get is a direct

result of the way I was treated whenever I was sick as a child.

Finding a way to heal that rift and change my reactions today is one

of my personal goals.

Tomorrow morning is my HIDA scan for the gallbladder. My doc thinks

it is not emptying properly, and this is the only test that will show

that particular function. If you all could keep a good thought for me,

I'd sure appreciate it.

I am glad to hear that some folks are doing well but sorry that Nate

is having problems. All this is really complicated, so I am happy we

have each other for support.
