Thought I was making progress

Well fam I thought I was making progress. Symptoms came back and took me down a notch. Just had another case, even though mild, but another case none the least. Anxiety/panic attack, confusion, trouble swallowing/choking sensation in throat and the good old fashion favorite...tremors. Man, I thought I was making some progress. Maybe because I've been feeling a little rusty the last couple of wks, heard a virus is going around or not enough sleep... who knows.

Much love,

Peace!!

Hang in there.

This "rollercoaster" ride called adenoma-zoom (yeah, i made that name up) sometimes have lower lows than there are higher highs. i know i'm waxing poetic but the one thing i personally learned in my own journey with this condition is that good attitude can really change things for the better. right when you totally forget about your condition because of the absence of any sign or symptom then suddenly out of nowhere..bam!!! it makes itself known once again... and yeah, i've been feeling weak myself lately, the weather is not helping either (though i always blame it on the weather and my noisy neighbor who keeps me up all night!)....LOL

take care, you'll be alright.

I too have had a setback in how I feel. I was feeling the best I've felt in a long time, and then I got the flu and I just haven't been able to get back to the high point from before. Welcome to the party.

It is a rollercoaster, that is a very good description dmcguirre, of what we feel most of the time.I myself am facing many diffferent medical issues right now(High CBC levels). I'm unsure if they are linked,but am pretty sure it is the 12 year useage of the wonderful medication(Bromocriptine and Dostinex) we have to take to apparently make it all go away.
We all must keep fighting the depression, the aches and pains of our lives, try and stay positive and keep fit and heathly. This is what helps me stay above the bottom line. Sometimes we do fall,but just remember that we all understand and we are all here for each other,never think that you are alone:)
