Dear Waves,

Lots of hugs.

I hope the pain lets up and sets up free today.

Mari

doing a bit better. also, diet-ish.
 

Hi

just to let you know, it has let up some... i am still really tired and rather teary.

and no more migraines. started to get one on the right the next day but it remitted before it got going so no medication. probably all hormonal: migraines, fatigue, mood crash, the lot.

these mood crashes on top of depression are beyond belief. anyway at least it's improving.

my thinking is more about what small things can i do now. each day i try to do a small thing. today it was vegetables. it was exhausting and i didn't quite assemble the salad but, i got them all cooked, still a couple hours work off mom's back.

-----------------------------------------------
i am eating very little still. i am converting this esophageal thing into a weight-loss program. might as well ride the wave coz you know i don't get too many in that department.

my appetite is way down and most things turn me off. besides the food bad reaction, i had an episode of hyperosmia with that last migraine where cooking smells were overpowering, that probably augments the turnoff.

nonetheless i do try different foods gradually. i will see the doc i tolerance trouble persists, in case something serious is afoot.

apples are my saving grace. i have no trouble with them whatsoever.

glad that your migraine is not an issue right now. tell me again what happened to your throat?
I am sorry you are struggling so.

Dear Bizi,

esophagus not throat. explained up the thread someplace, maybe previous page.

(((hugs)))

Dear Waves, :heartthrob: :heartthrob: :heartthrob:

I hope that you can feel better.

The esophagus acting up does not help.

Mari

Hi Everyone.

Thank you Bobby, Mari, Addy and Bizi for posting to me. Thank you for caring and for remembering me.

Mood-wise doing a little better and family wise more back to normal, though not fully. I always have the walking on eggs feeling.... it just feels less in my face, but still very present.

Esophageal trouble continues despite the omeprazole - that is the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) MD gave me. i am not being a good patient. i require caffeine to stay awake. i gave up coffee this time but am drinking tons of tea which seems to bother me unless smothered with honey, the tannins perhaps.

So, although i did initially lose the couple kilo's i'd put on from depression, now that i am attempting beverages... all that honey is bumping up my caloric intake to prolly my normal amount if not more. i reduced as of today. (i dislike alternative sweeteners.) i tried coffee again it was ok - i think that is what i had when i went on the diet earlier this year, without even a PPI on board.

at night, i sometimes have infusions which i drink plain. Mauve infusion is especially good for the gullet and tummy.... coats all your insides and protects them.

I'll update my other thread wrt therapy in a bit. I have updates. And lots of appointments. I put them in a list in my phone. They were on scraps of paper and I was afraid I'd lose them. I'm not the tidiest person and right now worst of all - even more likely to "set something down temporarily" end up with other stuff on top of it and then forget where i set it.... bye bye scrap of paper. :rolleyes:
