> Thanks for the encouragement, but how exactly did you know that the Lex had finally kicked in? How did it make you feel different? I dont really know what to expect. The only thing I have noticed so far is that this month, the PMS that I usually get really bad, was better. Two weeks ago my doc increased my dosage to 10mg, I felt like I had the flu for two weeks now, but I have noticed that other people have experienced this s/e. I'm finally starting to feel better, good thing i was off work for the holidays, I couldnt imagine having to go to work in my condition. I slept away most of my two week vacation. I cant wait for this to get better. thanks : )

As to how do you knowit's working........I kept waiting for something *BIG* to happen that I would wake up and BE DIFFERENT. Nothing....then week 9 came and I thought this is NOT working......and I was sitting on the couch w/hubby watching TV and I found myself laughing and feeling GOOD, I mean really good, and that was IT!!! It's really helped a lot, but its not a *miracle* drug, I still have up days and down days, the downs are just not so terrible and I can get through them. The Lex kind of *evens* things out for me. PMS is almost non-existent!
Hope it works as well for you!~~~8|8
