…and that’s it One Day At A Time
In just want to share that I’m having a huge test in my life and I am taking one minute at a time at times.
i hope you all who are struggling can also find hope and peace in taking it little by little and remember to keep breathing those deep breaths in the present moment
✨❤️✨
Good reminder for me today. Mondays are always pressured and I'm hard on myself. One thing at a time.
✨❤️✨be good to yourself! I will be also 😅
Being good s**ks. Benefiber + add-on Rx is making me bloated and sick. I need a break.
I AM trying to be calmer about today's work though. Thank you for that.
I love you 😍
Big hugs Starrlight. We are with you... I'm trying to enjoy the long weekend. Heading to the store now & going to a friend's later to grill & chill.
Oh nice! Eat some food for me, ha! (((((((((((((Big hug backatchya))))))))))))))
🥰 It was... got lots of puppy love & friend love. Hope you are remembering to practice self care ❤
Good 😊 yes thanks I am
You've got the tools needed Starrlight, now is the time to put them
to use. You've got this. Breathe 
xx
(((((((((((((((hug))))))))))))))) thanks,I’ve got this! 😅
Good advice Starr
✨❤️✨
How are you, Roxylox?
I am only fair. I'm going through a health crisis and it's scary. Thanks for asking Starr
Wow I didn’t know. I am too. I’m so sorry it’s scary for you ((((((((((((((gentle hug))))))))))))))))) do you want to talk more about it?
In a PM maybe
sure, any time just be aware I will try to get back to you quickly but may not for a while, but know I do care and am here for you
I’m so glad we shared with each other
Beautiful message my friend
❤️🐬
love you 😘
Good luck Starr xxx
Thank you Primrose!!!
How are you doing?
one minute at a time…I like it. That’s how it is with me too. So many moments in the day for me to practice mindfulness and being present. Hope you’re having a nice Monday!
Thanks ✨❤️✨mindfulness yes! Hope you are having a good day!
Learned that years ago good then good now
Good! Just a reminder. At times we get caught up in life and forget.
That true. Lose focus
Describes my last week getting caught up. Hope you are doing well
Yup thanks! You too 😊 🙏
Take each day any way you can. Being in the moment is something many people don't do. They are thinking about what will happen next or have their faces buried in their phones. They miss so much. It saddens me. You will get through this and I'll be here to help any way I can.
So true and I am guilty of being on my phone too much. You are an amazing friend. Thanks
Remember slow down! Put signs up if you must. Sometimes moving slower slows anxiety too. XO
So true thanks so much SayNotoPanic 😌
I think I've got to try a laxative today, and it scares me. Last time I took one I was seriously injured. This problem has gone on too long.
I'm putting off going to the store as my feet are bad. It's a nasty loop.
You're not alone going through a bad time. We'll go forward, maybe scared and confused -- that's no fun -- but we'll keep going.
Oops. Maybe a bad choice of words, considering my situation. 😄
☺️can you try to use more natural like a magnesium- that’s what I do.
I've been using more natural darn near everything for going on four weeks. Dolphin recommended I stop fooling around and I think she's right. Of course she said not to do it if I'm scared, but if that stops me... Well. Let's just say -- scared? That ain't a short list.
how about an enema flush like they use for medical procedures but sans laxative just with light amount of milk of magnesia or something like that? Is that safer?
I just got back from the store and I took the minimum dose of laxative.
See, the problem is that anything that stimulates my intestines, even a little bit, increases the pain in my feet dramatically.
Not one doctor has any idea what I'm talking about.
💩
❤️🐬
The pink box said "for sensitive tummies". I took one. We'll see.
I hope it moves things along without causing your foot discomfort
❤️❤️
I don't care right now. My feet have been bad all through this. If it helps, great. I just hope whatever pain it causes doesn't last multiple days.
I'm stopping the new Rx tonight. I can't take a laxative every day just to tolerate it. Too many awful side effects.
Good idea. Are you going off slowly or cold turkey -however you doc says?
I haven't even tried to call the doctor's office. I'm sick of their nonsense. The doctor won't call back, I only deal with the office staff. You wouldn't believe how useless that's been.
You bring up a good point though. I feel like just stopping it -- it's only been a bit more than three weeks. Maybe I better do I bit of research.
Boy I don't want this stuff in my system any more.
I know what it’s like to want something to just get the hell out of the system. And the docs not calling back is not right. But sometimes it’s way better for us to wean off gradually as you know. I just want you to be healthy. Yes do some research.
I did the research:
"All antidepressants can cause withdrawal issues IF someone has taken them for longer than 6 weeks." (my caps)
I'm just starting the fourth week, so cold turkey it is. It might be nasty, but probably not for long.
wow that sounds hopeful
💜🦜 + 🦔
Herman's helping too. He suggested "crickets".
🤣 Coco suggests duck jerky but Toady says no we do need the crickets please
Aww... How can I go wrong with all the help around here?
You found duck jerky? Want some. Yum. 🦆
haaaa! 😂
I hope this works for you.
Just my own thoughts lol. I would taper everything. I prefer slow start slow finish.
❤️❤️
Sounds like very sensitive nerves. Maybe your vasovagal is reacting to the intestinal movement and cramping and that’s sending pain signals to your feet since it all runs down that way. Oh man big hug!! Grab a soft pillow or blanket or a towel and maybe hug it tight. Sometimes that helps me feel better. Re direct the focus.
Uh-huh. A number of doctors have suspected some kind of neuropathy, but they can't confirm it.
A number of members have mentioned Cipro as the genesis of all this.
I learn more here than I ever did from an M.D.
cipro the antibiotic? 😳
I hear so much crazy stuff about Cipro the antibiotic that it almost scares me how much docs loveeeee using it when there’s other stuff as a first defense line with maybe less bad side effects. Ughhh.
Read through, and protect yourself. These antibiotics are very dangerous.
