hello again

just a note to tell you I am very well!!!!! I have been off endocort for 3 months now and besides blood pressure and thyroid meds the only other thing I still take is an antihistamine daily, I took endocort for 18 months. I still watch my diet like a hawk, no gluten of course but I tolerate limated amounts of all fruit and veg, everything has to be very well cooked though, lately I have been trying small amounts of citrus as we spent the winter in Spain, no problems so far. This note is not to brag as I am only too aware I am not cured but am in complete remission at the moment and wanted anyone who is suffering as I was not to give up hope, as the forum says " YOU CAN GET YOUR LIFE BACK", my biggest concern is stress, I dont handle it at all well, particularly if it concerns my adult kids!!!! I realize there is nothing I can do about that, I am a huge worrier and sometimes they act in a stupid manner, ah well its a generation thing I suppose! Thank you to all who have helped me get this far, beleive me I would not have got better without your support and advise and no doubt I will need you again, not too soon I hope, Beni

That's great news! I felt just like you when I posted an update just a few days ago. I didn't want anyone to think I was bragging either. I just was so happy to have my life back....for now. I then got to thinking that I may have jinxed myself! But so far so good. I'm a big time worrier just like you. That's the toughest part. I'm getting back into the exercise which I think will help a lot. I hear Yoga helps as well. Just try to stay away from stressful situations if at all possible. I managed to do that this weekend and never felt better. Of course, I do still worry a lot....even about stupid things.....but so far it hasn't caused a flare.

Praying you have a nice long remission!

BTW...I need to be on a beta blocker for my heart rate but those suckers triggered my MC. And I really need to take those betas. What do you take for your blood pressure?

tlras, you asked what blood pressure tablets I take, Beta Blockers didnt suit me at all, made me feel as if my arms and legs were floating and also gave me palpatations so I take ACE inhibitors, they work in a different way and co/diovan, I have no side effects from them and have had stable BP for 8 years Beni
