Hi Noodles Are you coming off them gradually or going cold turkey? I know that some dr's advise you to wean yourself off them - make sure you keep a close eye on yourself and remember we're always here for you if things do start to get bad for you or if you just fancy a natter!!!! Love Marion.

Hi Noodles How you getting on? Noticed any differences yet without the meds - guess it will take a week or so for it to start getting out your system. How's the sunshine down south - bet it's georgeos there. Wish I was there! Love Marion.

the first couple of days were really hard and i thought that maybe i had done the wrong thing so i go some herbal remidies, st johns wort and damiana, which is for nervous exchaustion, plus i have been making sure i do some form of exercise every day, i walked to my mums which is about 3 miles, or yoga, and on sat my hubby and i walked around tamar lakes which is supposed to be a hicking boot kind of walk of around 3.5 miles and we did it with the push chair and with me in flip flops, i ended up wadding through mud bear foot, uggghhh but it was fun and i got to wash my feet of in the lake.... the fisher men thought that we were off our tree.... and yesterday i came on which is about 2.5 weeks late, so i was feeling abit tired so we just went to the beach and lyla and i laughed at carl trying to fly a kite, we ate ice creams and it was really nice. i am tired again today, i gotta catch up on house work and i hate it when carl goes back to work.... but in general i actually feel better, i am sleeping better, the nightmares have stopped, my racing heart has stopped, i feel calmer and alot more like my old self... without the meds i am finding it easier to say to my self, wow, slow down and enjoy the sun shine, i also realise that my hormones are all over the place so it will take a bit for them to sort them selves out.... and if my little angel would sleep in past 6 or they moved big brother an hour earlier every thing would be hunky dory!!! plus my holiday is getting nearer..... yea.... don't know what im going to be like if we don't find a house to buy.... i really wanna move asap so carl will be home with me all the time and we can work together, i think that alot of it is that i am quite a socialble animal and i like company, getting up and spending the day on my own is no fun for any one let alone some one with pni!!! take it easy on your selves ladies, if men had to do what we have to they would be depressed to...

well im feeling quite well, lyla slept well last night from 6.30-7.15 and i got to sleep around 11.30 and slept right through which i couldn't do on the meds, i think that exercise has some thing to do with it, walked to mums and back again yesterday and was knackered last night, so taking it easy today going to walk around the shops in bude instead, it's the first day that i have felt like window shopping... and maybe a trip to the beach... will see, any way better get on or i won't be going any where!!! x

led in bed and cant sleep so i thought that i would have a rant. got things going round and round in my head. my sister is managing to piss me off and i havn't even spoken to her in 7 weeks... just can't wait to get away. my husbands autie died today, so there has been a bit of a weird atmosphere all day, so maybe that is why i feel a bit unsettled. another funeral!!! i don't feel down though, just a bit frustrated... and again i feel that my mum and my sister are in there little world and not informing me in things that affect my life!!! some times i feel that they just don't consider me at all!!! actually i know that they don't consider me, it's just a matter that every thing is ok when she gets her own way and i always just have to fit in to there plans, and i now feel that i have to stick up for my own family now, i have other people to consider!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! why is she so selfish!!!!!! i really hate her at the mo..... i was having doubts about moving away as i have been so happy over the past week but today has just reconfirmed that even hearing about her winds me up what would i be like if she lived just down the road!!!!!! sorry to any one reading this as i won't make sense if you don't understand the situation. i think that i just have to muster the energy for another fight with my sister, but this time it won't be fisty cuffs it will be with solicitors!!!! i always roll over and agree to every thing but this time i think that i am going to have to play by rules that are fair, and that i won't be bullied!!!! any way rant over better try and get some kip.....

feeling a bit better today, had quite a heated talk with my mum and i think that she may finally understand but i don't think that she will fully understand as she idillizes my sister... my hubby is being great and my mood keeps getting better and better the nearer my holiday gets. keep getting nerves of am i doing the right thing but i think that is probably normal... got an invite to a mind over mood group on the 19th so will see how it goes...

Hi noodles I'm going through a really really tired patch right now too - doesnt seem to matter how much sleep I get it's never enough! Make sure you tell your cpn how you're really feeling - I know that you dont want to be on anything but if they do want to put you back on an anti d there are loads of different ones you could try that may not leave you with the same side effects. Love Marion.

yea i know, it's just these f**king head aches are doing my head in.... and feeling sooo tired... apart from that i actually feel quite well really... well we shall see what she says tomorrow... carl is off for a long weekend as it's our anniversary on the 18th so i am looking forward to that inc. my lie ins.... yea.... and holiday in a couple of weeks so that will help to... i suppose that there is a bit more stress than usual at the mo, with the funeral to go to on 26th in london and the anticipation of moving to a different country i suppose is also quite stressful.... oh well oh hum, gonna go for a walk this afternoon see if that clears my head... x
