WOW! That's great news, Jeanie. I know that you have suffered greatly with the fear & anxiety. As I have said before, meds are just a tool in learning to cope with A/P. It doesn't mean that you will need to take meds forever. I hope you're sleeping better. I want to welcome you back to the board. What is past, is past. You were missed, gf! Good luck & GBU! (((hugs))) jan

Hi Jeanine,

I know exactly how you feel about pills. Up until a few years ago when my chronic pelvic pain started I never took pills outside of my birth control. Even in my sickest moments I've never been a NyQuil person, just not me. Taking pills is hard and I think it's even harder in some cases. I'm glad that the klonopin helped you. I hope that we all will be able to learn coping skills that will minimize or even eliminate the need for these pills but until then I'm glad you found some relief.

I missed the argument the other day, must say there seems to be quite a bit of criticism going on around here these days. I'm glad you are still with us : ) Keep us posted on how you are doing.

Hugs
Danielle

Jeanie I am glad that you have realized that
you need medication to help you through this! Facing that
is very difficult!! I too tried to make it without meds
and got worse and worse--- there is not point in that!!
I take my medication so that I can think and live in the
way I need to!! Without it I could not get out of the house!
I applaud your courage to give it a try!! You will be more
able to help yourself now! Take care! Judy

Jeanine,

99.9% of the time I've found this board VERY supportive as are the members. You can go back to the "apology" post to see how I put that in my own words.

We are each different and in that our therapies different but we all share many things in common that bond us in ways that no one wishes.

I'm glad you are comfortable with your choice. I may not be totally agreed with on this statement but here goes. I believe that our dr's are a VERY important part of our therapy but it is our responsibility to take care of ourselves. There may be times that we are unable to do that and require help but in those other times it's our choice on how to handle things. Ultimately it is OUR therapy & OUR bodies and only we can make those choices. I have let dr's make my choices for me and it has landed me in life threatening situations (literally) and so now I stay informed. I am no expert but I do my best to stay in the loop. I do hope that you ladies take as active a roll as you are comfortable with in your therapy process. We are all human, including the dr's and therefore we ALL make mistakes. We choose to step up to the plate, enter therapy, realize that we need help and we are all stronger for that.

Many Hugs
Danielle
