I have been off the boards now for about 2 1/2 weeks. I made the choice to detox you might say and get off the meds the doctors had me on. I had got to a really bad place where I didn't or couldn't function normally. I am pleased to say I am feeling better than I have in two years. I was officially was dx'd in early 2004 and gradually was put on more meds over time and with each new med I started getting worse. I looked back and realized that I felt better with minimal discomfort before all the meds. I have now been having sweet tea (being from the south that is something I really enjoy) and even had a little spagetti sauce (about a tablespoon) and no flare. I am now actually planning events and looking forward to them. I can say going through the detox was no fun, but I made it on my own and I am happy that I did it.
The only thing I take is my hormone, and an occasional lortab for the pelvic pain. I am gaining my weight back, up to 107, hopefully I will get back to my normal weight of 115 soon. I was looking so unhealthy.
So anyway, again thanks for all the support I have got here in the past and hope I am on my way to getting my life back.
I spoke with my URO and told her what I was going to do and give it two months to see what happens and she supported my decision. I hope now I will only have to go in twice a year for my hydro, I will continue to do those, because right now after having mine at the end of May I go about two to three hours between having to go the bathroom. Yea!!!
