    Hope this is it.

    After the last 8 years of having this dreadful disease (and being a master at being a functioning alcoholic if there is such a thing anyway)-I am SO done-I just ordered Topomax and Baclofen-I hope this will give me a running start-I am determined and any advice/words of encouragment would be welcome and so appreciated-This is not going to beat me.

    Fighting for my life....

      Hi, Cindi. You - among others- gave me hope & inspiration and your success on bac encouraged me. I have now been AF for over 75 days due to all of you here and the bac. I KNOW you can beat this dreaded disease and I look forward to reading many more upbeat posts from you! You have so many friends here - lean on them. I can tell that they love you and care for you.

        Green Eyes-Thank you-I'm sure you'll hear from me often as I begin this journey-If you all could do it-I can too. I'm scared but looking at this as a challenge-My life is unmanagable b/c of this and I give up and giving this to a higher power...

            Cindi: So sorry - yes, there is another Cindi.....I feel so stupid. But - you can lean on all the good people here and they will help you thru thick & thin. I started off as a lurker over a year ago and finally became a member. There are so many great people here - Greenie being one of many! She is very encouraging so be sure to read all of her posts. Anyway, welcome to MWO!

                  :welcome:

                  I think it's very likely that you've found the answer here. We're glad you made it!

                  I'd try one med at a time, and I'd try the baclofen first. This is just my personal opinion but it is a highly educated one.

                  I'm using baclofen and The Sinclair Method and they have saved my life.

                    Welcome Cindi!

                    Good for you for making such an important decision. It IS about life and death for some of us, me included.

                    I don't know anything about the meds, but there is a meds section here with lots of info.

                    Keep us posted on your progress!

                      LOL! Oops! I sure did think it was the other cindi. That's what I get for 5 cups of coffee :H. I was wondering about the bac as the other cindi takes it.

                      Ahem....... :welcome: cindi! I try to greet and encourage newcomers so here it is. (If I could quit laughing) Great job on deciding to change your life and take control of it again. It will be one of the top few best decisions you've ever made. Let us know how we can help!
