Thanks, Cheeto! So far, so good it looks like.

Hi everyone, I have decided to upp my dose to 75 mg and have done that for the last 3 days. I am aiming for an AF day today and tomorrow but figure I will drink some on Thursday as we are going to a St Patrick's Day party at a neighborhood pub.
I just received another 90 pills of Nal from River Pharmacy so am comfortable taking 75 mg without worrying about my Nal supply.
I am going to contact Joanne from 3C Europe to see if she can help me along with my TSM journey.
Hope you are all doing well. Nal On!

Thanks for the update Cheeto and watch out for that shileleigh!

Have you talked to your TSM doc lately? NB, I pointed someone who had a TSM doc to Joanna and she sent me a message saying she is disinclined to give certain kinds of advice when someone already has a TSM doc, so she may just refer you back to your doc beyond a certain point.

Well, keep on posting and let us know how it goes!

Glad things are going well for you Cheeto,

Hopefully those green beers are not as common there in Canada as here in the U.S.

My husband is in Chicago and is excited to see the green river . I personally think a green river would look gross, but it is all about the spirit of the day.

Have fun and report back soon to let us know how your AF days went, and if upping your dose is helping.

I am sure JoAnna will be helpful.

Nal on,

Jaba

Hi everyone, well as you can see my numbers have been climbing in the 3 weeks since I have been tracking again, ughh! Anyway I am going to also try taking my 200 mg of Gabapentin at night to see if that will help me. I have a hard time sleeping without drinking and only really take Gabapentin when I don't drink at night but will take 100 mg here and there for my hot flashes during the day.

Thanks, Cheeto. I take it too, 300mg a bit before bed. Doesn't help me drop off, but when I do I get better quality sleep. I think Maggie was saying it put her to sleep though, so let us know how it works for you.

Cheeto,

I was prescribed 300 mg Gabapentin for sleep (cannot sleep well without drinking either), but have found 200 mg works just as good. The only thing it does to me (besides making me tired) it makes my eyes tired/dry and I have to take out my contacts. It also makes it harder to read, for things get blurry, but that may just be the dry contracts.

Since you drank without the nal, is it possible that you have to start over? Meaning your honeymoon is over and your intake increased? It is just a thought.

Hopefully the Gabapentin works for you.

Keep posting,

Jaba

Hi guys, yes Gabapentin totally helps me sleep, I take 200 mg about 2 hours before bed and can fall asleep much better with that. Yes I think it may be that I am starting over so that is why I have upped my dosage to 75 mg of Nal and am trying everything in the book to get to the Cured List. I wanted an AF day but I was white knuckling it so gave in and took 75 mg Nal 1 1/2 hours before I drank. It seemed I couldn't get a buzz and kind of was chasing it last night, crap!
Nal On!

Cheeto,

I think it sounds like you are doing everything that you could possibly do, and I know this is going to be hard to do, but try to relax.

I remember all to well chasing that buzz when my brain finally realized it wasn't coming. It was a very hard thing for my brain to accept, especially since I loved my buzz (still miss it but not enough to break that GR).

I think it was a good thing that you drank last night for there is no reason to white knuckle it.

It will come! In the mean time remember to breathe!

Jaba

Thanks Jaba, yes I will remember to breathe and just let TSM do it's thing without the white knuckling!

Nal On!
