Well, what can I say!

I spent last week decorating, working through every day into the evening with a day off to play 18 holes of golf... Okay, my wrists get a bit achy and I have lost some strength in them (but negligible compared to January), but oh my gosh what a difference this stuff is making to my life. I feel almost normal.

I have found that I can't tolerate dairy at all while taking Toci., if I have a small ice cream or a wee bit of cheese in 12 hours I feel really nauseous and generally unwell. I can deal with this as I only eat dairy occasionally when I have visitors or am out as a treat, but it is odd.

Only 5 doses in and hoping this continues. Remarkable! Incredible! Wonderful!

I hope all who are suffering find the magic treatment giving you better, much better times.

Go gently through the day

PS - it is snowing heavily here today!

Fab. Lovely to hear such a success story. It makes such a huge difference when a med really works for you. Quickly too. I was lucky that way also. Such a relief. 💗
