Well y'all...

Either I am coming down with the flu or this may be working!! LOL Seriously, I am not shouting out anything, but I swear the last couple of days have felt like what others describe as "the honeymoon". MAYBE. I don't know. I also am not thinking sometimes when I take my dose and a few minutes later, wondering if I took it or just made plans to...then count them out, not sure & pop one more just in case. This happened twice in the last few days - even after I had told myself to PAY ATTENTION!! LOL So in the last week I have pretty consistently taken 100 mgs., but I honestly think I might have taken 200 one night (mind you, I am sober, just not thinking!) and 150 last night. Just not sure. I do this alot w/ vitamins, taking them w/o thinking. My mind is on to more important topics like what I'm going to do next, wear that day, will that hot guy be at the gym, Boitoi, students, my children, etctetctetctec. Then I look at the bottle in my purse and wonder if I took them or only thought I did! DAMN!! I even swallow a few times to see if I can feel that "pill" feeling in my throat!! GEEZ - I am such a ditz sometimes - but anyway...

Long story short, maybe it's the randomness of this drug, last night wine didn't taste so great. I had 4 glasses and thought ICKMO. I could've been drinking white wine vinegar! Today I woke up and felt yucky...stomach bothering me all day. The very thought of wine made me feel nauseous. I went thru the grocery store w/ my daughter, knowing I had about 3 glasses left in a bottle & thinking I need to get more, but the very thought made me ill.

Seriously, all day I was thinking I was coming down with the flu! A stomach virus, something. Then it occurred to me...could it be?? I actually feel "ehhhhhhhhh" about drinking. I conciously popped 100 anyway b/c I wasn't feeling so "ehhhhhhh" I didn't want to have at least one! LOL (Long day - very stressful) But I had like a half glass before I went to a football game & it tasted acidic. Not good. I took a DDP w/ me in the car and it was much more refreshing. All during the game I kept wondering if this could be the beginning...

Came home, have had 2 more & they do not taste all that great. Am just feeling "ehhhhhhhhhh". I don't want to jump up & down of course yet, but am seriously thinking...wondering...hoping...and wondering about the unknown dose I have taken. I am so hoping this little nauseated feeling I feel is the aversion to alcohol I need. I could definitely live with this. I could roll with this. If I felt like this on a daily basis, I wouldn't be too thrilled b/c I honestly felt queasy & like absolute dogshit for a large part of the day.

BUT - if that subsided to a reasonable level, and I could walk around with that "ehhhhhhhhhhh" feeling about my beloved wine on a regular basis, I would build my own personal alter at the shrine of the good DRS forevermore!!! (Ooooommmmmm)

Like I say...I may have a stomach bug...but I hope not b/c I like it! LOL And only 3 glasses tonight just cuz I feel blah/ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh/ugh. Super cool thoughts of what might be!!
Keep your fingers crossed, kids, for this one b/c I REALLY REALLY want it to work for me!!!
:-)))

P>S> Will update my signature soon b/c, ya know what...my numbers are down overall, I think. I need to count them up again. I'm averaging about 40 - 45/wk. Bad, but I'd like to give my numbers to our resident nerd (XXXOOO) to calculate. Will do one of these days. Who knows...maybe I will actually show a non-linear downward trend. But am going to go with this stomach virus thing awhile longer before I do!

This is possibly great news! Congratulations. Now, if you could just learn how to take a pill and copy and paste, you'll really be living large.

By the way, it's "resident geek" not "resident nerd." I think you owe LoOp an apology.

geek/nerd, drunk/tipsy, obese/fat, coffee/cafe - isn't it pretty much the same?!

Ugh - copy/paste....makes me nauseous.

I came to live out loud.

I have my fingers and toes crossed for you! And i can type with my fingers crossed

Hi Houtx,

I love your posts. They are so funny and I always learn a few more words, like 'ditz', for example. Perhaps I don't watch enough American TV!

Anyway, down to the matter in hand, the serious stuff. I do hope that this is the green light you have been waiting for as you are obviously experiencing some new stuff. Fingers crossed.

All the very best.

I always learn a few new words from a Houtx-post as well and I watch plenty of American tv ...ICKMO? Icky or do the letters stand for something? boitoi...think that's boy toy if I recall (only know that because I briefly peeked at the 'other' thread).


Houtx - I am so hoping you are not sick. FWIW, since switching to my new pills I have had stomach aches as well, so maybe it IS the increased dosage and you are finally seeing the results. Either way you sound far too chiper to be sick so maybe this is it. Tentative congratulations !!

Oh Houtx,

I SO hope this might be the beginning of the end of this nightmare for you. Definitely got my everything crossed for you. Enjoy the reunion with BT - maybe you won't have much time or energy leftover for those glasses of wine...

Oh wow hout! Cool!

Thanks all - am definitely not sick, my queaziness is better today, but I am still kinda "ehhhhhhh" on the wine. On anything really. Gotta wonder...

As far as the vernacular - you Brits are way funnier than we are! I'm not sure if I've picked up some of my terms from TV or just wacky friends. I have one who adds "MO or O" to just about every expletive mild or strong...and yes, boitoi is my continental spelling of "Boytoy", who BTW is back!! Updates on this on the juicier thread! :-)) I'm happy!

Virgil, I know we are at the right doseage. I really feel in my heart of hearts when things like this happen, along with other signs, that this MUST be working. Hell, I will go up to 150 mgs in a few months if it doesn't. Thinking I will get one of those little 7day pill keepers to keep track tho! LOL

Hi Houtx,

By which, I assume that you mean 100 mg?

All the best.
