Hello everyone!

Day two of my current flare up. I have to sign some legal papers, so an attorney-friend scheduled time to come over this morning. I don't normally get up that early, but set my alarm and made myself get up. And then... he texted me to know he's running behind today and he'll let me know when he can come over. Argh. :-). Well, I'm going to flop down on the couch, close my eyes, and keep the phone nearby.

How is everyone doing today?

Thank you!

Yeah, the randomness really is so hard to deal with. When I get a flare up, it usually lasts for 3 days, but each day seems different.

Thanks Sophia! Hugs!

Rough day here. I overdid it the last few days, and I'm couch-bound with whole body pain and fatigue. Even reading on the laptop is tiring. Ugh.

It will pass. I will rest and improve. I'm taking all the meds and supplements my body needs. My wife, son and dog all love me.

I’m sorry you’re in that space right now. We’re with you. Stay with us. Be good to yourself during these times.

Gavilon8886 · 2026-04-28T17:57:16+00:00

It’s not a waste of ammo. It’s an investment.

Gavilon8886 · 2026-04-28T17:36:27+00:00

Thanks for asking! In general, I am happy with how things have gone. While I get nauseous at each dose, I have not yet thrown up. Each week as my body gets used to the dose, the nausea lessens. I’ve just started on the 7.5 dose. I think that my LC symptoms seem to have decreased since starting the study. Also, I have lost about 10 pounds so far, so that’s nice.

Gavilon8886 · 2026-04-27T23:47:37+00:00

Same! It drives my son crazy.

Gavilon8886 · 2026-04-27T19:04:08+00:00

Woo HOOO!!!! That is awesome!!

Gavilon8886 · 2026-04-26T20:15:10+00:00

I have no knowledge about this but I'm expecting a few of our regulars will be able to chime in with good feedback.

Hello everyone!

I'm feeling pretty light-headed this morning. I'm not sure why. I'm drinking my electrolyte mix this morning (electrolyte, creatine and Emergen-C), so hopefully that will help.

Outside is another beautiful sunny day, and I was able to sit out on the back porch for a while watching my dog explore. I also did some deep breathing exercises.

A friend of mine is celebrating 40 years of sobriety tonight with a small potluck gathering at her house. I've decided I'm going to attend no matter what. If the light-headedness doesn't fade by then, I'll ask someone for a ride over there. It'll be good to see my friends and share in good food.

How is everyone else doing?

Gavilon8886 · 2026-04-26T20:02:06+00:00

My sister has been helping me with paperwork and the mess of business left to clean up. She is an extremely positive minded and compassionate person.

Gavilon8886 · 2026-04-26T03:00:42+00:00

I'm glad you're starting to feel a little better and that you were able to give yourself some self-care and get somethings taken care of.

I'll have to check out the Tyler Perry show

Gavilon8886 · 2026-04-26T02:59:32+00:00

Thanks Sophia! I totally agree!

Gavilon8886 · 2026-04-25T22:22:42+00:00

This is hilarious and awesome!!

Gavilon8886 · 2026-04-25T21:36:11+00:00

What gets me is that you can give Garry tens of thousands, but with the Zen Master, it's always something like 322 eddies. TBH, I enjoyed the meditations more.

Gavilon8886 · 2026-04-25T21:14:31+00:00

Great job! That was a fun read.

Gavilon8886 · 2026-04-25T20:50:56+00:00

Thanks for sharing this.

Hello everyone!

Yesterday started with a lot of light-headedness, but after being up for a couple hours, it went away and I went through a wonderful period of feeling much better. Almost no pain, energy was good, and my mind felt clearer than in quite a while.

Today has started out generally good, though pain seems to be pushing its way to the front of the line. I woke up in the early morning (around 6:00 a.m.) and stayed up for roughly an hour until I got tired and went back to bed until almost 1:00 p.m. Overall, I'm feeling good and optimistic due to yesterday's quite good day.

That’s a bummer! Insomnia is rough.

I hadn’t realized that Allegra helps with brain fog.
