persephone Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I went to St Andrews for new year and it was SUCH a tonic! I feel so alive now.I saw all my old friends, the ones who know me as me, not me plus pots, and we had a real ball! I was fit as a fiddle the entire time! I walked for miles! I did get some tachy edpisodes- I couldn't sleep too well at night because the pulse was racing, but I didn't get faint. I just took betablockers. Never needed midodrine once.It was SO cool! I had to lie down for a few hours on new year's eve but the symptoms didn't take hold, and I just kept going regardless. It was AMAZING!!!I feel so hopeful now- if I did it in st andrews, surely I can do it in Oxford- be well, I mean.Everyone told me how fantastic I'm looking which gave me even more of a buzz, being back in town. It was incredible to just walk striaght back into th elife I used to have. But it made me realise how different my life pots pots is, down in Oxford. I HAVE to sort this out! I want people to know the real me, not the I'm so sick I can't move me. Does this make sense? Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.I'll not be about mucxh as I'm about to drown in a sea of Malory- chivalrous knights (or not so) and damsels in distress...well, maybe if I read about them, one will appear with a white horse?

Dizzy Dame Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Good going Persephone! I'm so happy to hear you've been feeling better. And you deserve it. Maybe that good luck charm I sent you really works Hugs, Lauren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I'm sure it does, Lauren- thanks SO much again! and Marian--memory bank, that's a good idea! EVer since I was a little girl I've had memory boxes at home- with old letters and pictures inside. I suppose I should really be using my own head rather than tangible objects by now...I picked up a lovely shell from the beach in St Andrews and feel better just knowing I have a bit of my old life with me- everywhere I go. here's to a much more positive second term in Oxford...

KathyP Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Dear Persephone;WAY TO GO!!! I know exactly how you feel. I have been doing quite well on my hormonal compounding and feeling more and more like myself. Betablockers have been a charm for me as well. It is so wonderful to hear news like yours. It gives so much hope.I hope this is just a taste for a healthy and stronger year for you. As for Oxford, GO FOR IT!!!I love England. I have been there and would love to visit it again.Take care,KathyP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
