Hello
Today is day 10 and I am about to take my morning meds. Sof/Dac. The main symptoms I have are insomnia and fatigue. I go to sleep for about 3 or so hours and then go into a very light sleep like half awake half asleep. But I am starting to wake up feeling ok. Not too tired.
Last week I was impacted with fatigue and rested when I had too and pushed myself to do some social outings which really helped.
I am basically living my life as I would with a strange sleeping pattern and a different type of fatigue which comes and goes.
All in all these side effects are minimal. I was really expecting to be 'wacked' by these drugs and so far that hasn't happened. I am not bedridden and I can socialise, cook, go shopping walk the dog etc. And I am starting to feel better in myself. Like I am not dragging body around. Feel a little spacey and thought this may be what people feel like without a sense of overwhelm 24/7. The absence of overwhelm/anxiety is a relief. No nausea the last few days and thats amazing and I have a ravenous appetite and am enjoying food.
My diet is pretty simple. Steamed veggies, chicken casseroles, lentil stew, Quinoa and fruit. Drinking lots and lots of water. No alcohol or sugary foods. Whats called a clean diet.
Thank you all for the well wishes…this is a really huge thing to do and I appreciate your support. Taking my life into my own hands has empowered me and every day I am reminded what and amazing thing I am doing and how different my life is already. I have no doubts that I will be cured…I just know that I am on a new trajectory and how exciting life is. Who would have thought 6 months ago I would be on the 'New Treatment' embarking on this path and with the help of Dr. Freeman his team and many others this is all possible.
