Since stopping my meds I have felt sooooo much better.
To the extent where I am taking part in a charity bike ride - something I could not have even thought about while i was on my medication.
The event is called Cycle China April 2011 and is in aid of a charity called Women for Women, who carry out research affecting women and their babies such as Cancer, infertility, miscarriage etc - very worthwhile cause and one which is close to my own heart and to many others who have been affected by female and baby tragedies.

This will be no holiday and no walk in the park. I have to be fit enough to complete 450kms over 5 days Eek!!! But I am determined to complete this challenge and support this cause.

I have started a justgiving web page for anyone who wishes to sponsor me (the link is below).

Thank you, thank you, thank you

" That is wonderful! I have been hoping to stop my stimulants in Dec. but with the fatigue I am having from my recent thyroid cancer surgery I plan on staying on them a couple more months I think. I hope I feel half as good as you sound when I am totally off them. "

" well done Linda. I also gave it all up and have started a small permaculture experiment. What a gas!
Having said that I've just signed up with Mannatech as from what I've seen it could be the answer to a lot of our problems and it's totally uninvasive. Read the publications at http://www.mannatechscience.org/ho...

If you're keen try out the products, please let me know. I'd like to try and get some kind of group going so we can create awareness more easily if it relieves N symptoms. "
