A Mishn..
I am on a mission. I am going to be AF. I am not going to moderate.
This is my mindset...and this is the thread I will use to chronicle my journey towards the day when I can calmly state:
Mishn Accomplished.
But that date is not yet.
Today is my 5th day AF and my third day on Naltrexone. For those who know something of Mishmash you will know I was hoping to try Baclofen. Long story, but I have been prescribed Nal, and as it is taxpayer funded in my case, I take that as a strong incentive to make it work and not take it for granted.
Day 1 I kept waiting for nausea, wooziness, headaches, anything that might suggest a side effect. The only SE I seemed to have was the best night's sleep I can remember in the last month. I slept from about 9pm until 6:30am, and could have gone back to sleep if I felt like it I think.
Day 2 Wide awake after a cup of tea and no SEs. Busy morning cleaning the house, then an "afternoon tea" I'd been invited to. I took Chocolate Mud Cake. (Not important, just a bit of useless trivia to pad this out...). Everyone was drinking lovely champagnes which I had fully not anticipated. I felt absolutely no desire for a glass and happily settled for a couple of Cokes. In times past I may have taken the Coke and then picked up a bottle on the way home. Didn't even cross my mind till I sat down at my computer. Very happy with this state of affairs but not going to get complacent as I have done this in the past and then a couple of days later...oh dear. However, there's something different this time.
Day 3 I can't explain it. Maybe just my mindset, maybe knowing I have been extended assistance by the medical profession and don't want to let the taxpayers down, definitely the support here at MWO and particularly from my new Dos Gatos loved ones who took a "newbie" into their midst and bathed me in love and support. And when I messed up, they hauled me onto the Taco Truck and decorated me mercilessly. :wave:
Okay, I didn't sleep so well last night as I did the previous night but I had enough to refresh me. I'm in a very good mood. I've been very silly at Dos Gatos, and have a lovely lunch to look forward to with my Mum. No cravings, unusual anxiety or SEs so far. Obviously, as it is only 9:30am, there is quite a lot of 'today' left, but will return and journal how the rest of the day goes.
I particularly want to chronicle this Naltrexone trial in detail and for this reason I have begun this thread. I was going to bunch it all together in Mish's Mash, but my ever-so-tidy compartmentalising mind would not allow it. Sigh. It keeps things organised...
If anyone wants to jump in, well, :welcome: One, :welcome: all.
