Your perspective has helped me in my own fight so, so much, Dan. Cheers.

Always there buddy. We're in this together x

Fine for months.

Last two hours, nah, I don't really want to do this any more. Where's that rope.

I mean that's literally bipolar so it is what it is. And I have the strength these days to fight it.

But mate. I can't do this forever.

All of us here have your back mate. Find the small victories wherever you can.

You can. You've done it for nearly 50 years (sorrynotsorry) and you're getting better at it every year

Made it into the office, no way I bounce back that quickly even a short while ago.

No messing.

I just wanted to share my experience

I was feeling really low and exhausted for months so went to see the doc.

Did some blood tests and turns out my vitamin d levels are through the floor.

Currently topping them up and starting to feel better.

I take vitamin D, C and Zinc every day. Started it around the lockdown times. Not sure how much good it's done me but don't feel it's done me any harm. Certainly haven't had any serious colds or been 'under the weather' for any long periods.

One of the strongest people I know, Dan. Your neuroses have nothing on your willpower.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

To use a footballing analogy, if you can't win on merit, then the very least you can do is stick in there and battle.

I may be many things, not all of them good, but I'm no coward and no quitter.

Been tapering off my Lamotrigine this week and hooooooo boy. Even going slow, the decrease has brought on some wretched withdrawals.

I really don’t need the threat of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome hanging over me and I don’t think it was doing much, if any, good. It’s certainly punching on the way out, though, God damn.

 

[WarwickWolf]

Hang in there, Al!

 

[Alan]

Hang in there, Al!

I think I’m through the worst. And no other step down in the taper is near the 100mg cut I’m doing this month. Hopefully I’m in the clear.

Keep at it Alan, you'll get there!
