Update on me and the dog. :-)

Well, first the dog.

We went to the vet, again. He is trying a parasite medication on him first just to make sure that it isn't it. After that we are going to try a different food. I am almost sure it is the food so it will be interesting to see if it works. Thanks for all the input! I am going to try some of your suggestions.

Now for me.
First, Thanks so much for all the tips, advice and two cents. I have received so many emails and messages that I just haven't been able to respond to them all.

Several people have asked if I've tried different things. Yes, I have tried:
Candidia Diet -Yeast free
Lyrica
Cymbalta and about 10 other anti-depressants
Pain Meds - narcotic and otherwise
Exercise
no sugar
vitamins
supplements
acri (sp) juice
B-12 and 6 shots
massage
sleeping pills
and I'm sure several other things that I've forgot.

All the medications just make me really sick or give me bad headaches. The massage does help but only for about a week.

The no-sugar thing did help some but not that much. Not the "oh I feel wonderful" that everyone always talks about.

I do feel somewhat better already only 3 days being off the old vitamins and no-sugar. Not healed by any means but i don't feel like I just want to curl up and die either. I actually slept through the night last night and didn't wait up 20 times in pain trying to find a position to sleep in that didn't hurt! That in itself if a miracle!

It will be interesting to see if this works. I don't think it would "cure" me but I do think that I can at least manage it better.

Oh and don't worry. I am tampering off the Prozac. I just don't have the guts to go cold turkey! That stuff will make you miserable you if you go off too fast! :-)

I will keep you updated on how it's going. Thanks again for the suggestions!! Tawra
