Ill update more as time passes..

Is it because you felt nauseous while tapering or do you think its because you put weight on with cymbalta?

Its sad when a parent passes. You dont realise how much enjoyment you get while they are around. When they are sick or gone..its only memories. I have my mother still but my father passed 4 years ago. I didnt cope well with death then. When my mother goes I know it will be worse as we are very close. How do you feel?

I went on the AIP diet for 2.5 years. Was it hard? Yep it was one of the hardest things ive ever done. I rebuilt my gut microbiome, cut out gluten and dairy although I can have a small amount of dairy now.

I have psoriatic arthritis. I could hardly walk for 1.5 years. It felt like I was walking on glass. I gave up work. I had to sit to cook and do housework. I had so much time on my hands I researched for hours and hours every day. Thats how I came across the AIP diet.

The day I started it..I felt slight relief within 24 hours. I hand tingly feet which meant I had better circulation. This carried on for days and I could stand on my feet longer and longer. 5 months later I started back at work.

Now I play pickleball twice a week, jump on my rebounder, walk my dogs and do resistance training. Im the most active ive ever been and im 53! I highly recommend the AIP diet!

I was put on 30mg C for menopause. I get a hacking cough every night while lying down so I'm tapering off it. Ive only been on it for 3.5 months. My doctor told me to go cold turkey but I'm not doing that. Every 4 days Ive been tapering down 10 beads. Tomorrow I'm going to try 15 beads then sit on that for a couple of weeks then go back to 5% taper. At this rate Ill be off in around 2 months total all going well. Ill keep you updated. Im writing dates, beads removed, and symptoms which so far is very little. Hopefully this might help those that have only been on it 4 months or less. Ill update soon! 😊
