Title: I Feel Good...But I Feel Bad Post by PrettyH8Machine on Feb 9th, 2005, 1:07pm I am on day 8 of no CH! This is the longest break I have had in a VERY long time. Not sure how long this will last, but making the most of every moment. I am also very sore, as I started working out again to try and undo some of the damage of all the meds. At the same time, I feel bad knowing so many peeps here are hurting and going through hell. That weighs heavy on my heart. All I can do is hope, pray and offer support. You guys have all been here for me over the years, and even if I stay PF, I ain't going anywhere. Just remember, there is always hope that this will end once and for all. Peace & Love, Carl |

Title: Re: I Feel Good...But I Feel Bad Post by dagger on Feb 9th, 2005, 6:32pm Good for you! I meant to make a new thread for my own pf celebration, but couldn't get the computer to cooperate that night. So I emailed Helen. But I have been out of cycle for about 3 weeks now and couldn't be happier! I continue to visit the board, tho, and hope that everybody else becomes pf, too. Especially you chronics - I don't know how you do it!! Thanks and love to all... dagger |

Maybe you ought to tell us again how you got to this PF state after eons of incessant whining. Someone may have missed the point. I just love a good story, don't you? RJ |

Title: Re: I Feel Good...But I Feel Bad Post by PrettyH8Machine on Feb 10th, 2005, 6:53pm Thanks guys & gals. I guess Purpley is right in that, I've been in constant pain with the CH, Fibro & everything that now I don't know how to act. Getting sleep again is making me feel like a million bucks, and I have my sharp wits about me again. Slowly but surely, I am becoming me again. Damn, it has been so long I forgot who I was. This is day 9 of no hits, and the tenderness in the temple has eased a bit too. Though the back of my head still aches - I can deal with that no sweat. As for your question Happy of what I used to achieve this: I watched the Wizard of Oz with the sound down while listening to Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon. I think that confused the beast, he decided I was weird, so he left. ;;D Actually, I tried the alternative treatment of Psilocybin. This is my third time trying. I did it once in 2000 with little result. I did two doses in 2001 which knocked me from a few hits a day down to a few a week - which was better, but I was still getting hit. This time I did 3 seperate doses of the fungus 5 days apart each. Even though I was skeptical at first, after the 2nd dose I had a couple of minor attacks before this stretch of CH-free days. The Clusterbusters method is making a tea out of the shrooms and drinking that - which produces a mild euphoric/giddy effect. However, when I was much younger, we use to do acid(LSD) and Shrooms recreationally. I swore off the stuff back in 1996 after one too many 'bad trips.' Ironically enough, a year or more later I got hit with another cycle and then in February of 1998, I became chronic. I didn't know why they weren't going away after a year or more, and then a friend found this site for me and that was when I learned what chronic and episodic meant. I was episodic from 1987-1997 then became chronic in '98. Being chronic, I decided to fully dose the shrooms instead of doing the tea. I don't recommend this for everyone. My reasoning though is, even if I have a bad trip - I can handle it. ANYTHING is better than having to do battle with the beast daily. Can I get a big AMEN to that? I remember someone said that Psilocybin doesn't work for chronics. Only time will tell. All I can say is, so far - soooooo fucken goooooooood! CD [smiley=headbanger.gif] |

CD I'm tickled pink for ya. Keep it up and live BIG!!! also, it's not true that it doesn't work for CHronics... I WAS, now I'm not. It might be harder to stop for CHronics, but it's still quite stoppable. Maybe with some more researCH we'll get to the bottom of this for everybody. Now get out there and enjoy life! |

HELL YES! Been making the most of every day I am free of the beast. With all the rest I am getting, I feel good. Everyone who sees me says I look better than I have in ages, and my cool nurse today said she has never seen me beam and glow like this before. I joked with her and said "I hope that doesn't mean I'm pregnant." Been working on music with others, and even did a drum track the other day for my old guitarist in exchange for a piece of gear I desperately needed to start my next disc. Also learning my mixed drinks as I hope to go back to work very soon bartending. I'll be doing that on nights the band isn't gigging. I haven't been able to work out in a very long time either. It kills my head to even try. As a result of that, the meds and such - I have gotten FAT! So I started working out again Monday and hope to shed some of this extra flesh and get back in good shape again. The Fibromyalgia weakened me, so I am fighting it back now. CD |
