'Que sera, sera

[Croft]

I have just learned that I have to go off the Topo. While the Topo has practically saved my life, it has not done wonders for my intestines. So off it I will go. I am scared. What will I become now? To ease the worry I have modified an old favorite to express my feelings.

When I was just a little drunk
I asked myself what will I be
Will I be slurring, will I be stumbling
Here's what my head said to me

*Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera

When I got drunker and fell down
I asked my self what lies ahead
Will I have bed spins night after night
Here's what my head said to me

*Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera

Now I have topo of my own
I asked myself how will I cope
Without it everyday, what will I do
I tell myself tenderly

'Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
You still have Kudzu, you still have L-Glut
'Que sera, sera

Croft,

Like you, I cannot take the topa. In my case within a week of starting it my body is covered in a rash and my face looks like I've been terribly wind burnt. Doc says I am allergic.

I am trying the Chantix to quit smoking and just white knuckling it a bit until I can get on Antabuse. Arrggh. Scared but have to.

Of course, I am not looking at mods, I am looking at AF. The hope of mods is waaayy gone for me.

You might want to look into Naltrexone, though. It has worked beautifully for many people.

ps, Now I am going to hear Doris Day's voice all day, too. :H

Oh Croft, sorry about Topa. can you try another drug?

and as to the Que Sera, >

[Noelle]

'Que sera, sera

Croft, aren't there other Rx's you can take? I really hope so. Take care and post some more. I loved your song, although like KAT20, it will be stuck in my head all day. No problem,,,,,it's replacing the one I already had stuck there.

Hi Croft,

Brilliant song! Wow, I know that you have been afraid of this. You were also concerned about taking the supps.....what happened with that?

As far as alcohol and meds. I know that the meds help a lot of people. I also see some people going from med to med seeking the "magic pill". But, deep down, I still think that even though the meds, might take the edge off, at the end of the day, it is about committing to being AF. It is taking care of ourselves and re-working the software in our brains. The MWO progam lists many "Tools"......you can still do this!!

Take Good Care of Yourself and please do not give up!

Question for you

Hi Croft -
Now I've got the song stuck in my head ....

A question for you

How High of a dosage of topa were you on? Is is possible to dose back down and stay at a low dose without the Intestinal problems? I remember in the beginning we all joked about the problems, but it did not get better?

If that is not an option at all for you - I know there are more single amino acid supplements that you can add to help with cravings and help you moderate if that is your goal. Much love and best wishes to you on this journey as we all continue to discover how it will work for us

Hey Croft, I'm picturing Doris as we speak (or rather read or post), what about Campral


Poor Croft she could not see
that the topomax wasn't to be
it made her intestines
not good it seems
onto Campral she be


*Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera


Not a whole song, but supporting you!
