Hi Everybody:

Thanks for asking!

I came down to 20mg/day Parnate on Monday (my RA was still too much for me on 30mg). Immediately I wasn't so chilled/frozen. I went to bed for the first time in 10 months without having deep chills , wearing sweats,woolsocks,woolhat and having frozen feet until 5 am. I wore regular nightwear, no socks, and was fine! That's BIG. But I am still itching, dizzy and in RA pain.. and now also have something like fibro in my arms and shoulders to boot.

I saw my pdoc the other day and he is looking into Campral for me. Only addiction specialists can prescribe it but I'm sure he could if he thought it would be good. (Thanks, Willy)! Pdoc says I should do what I think is best about the Parnate. He worries about my being so dizzy and falling, but leaves it up to me.

I've been totally gluten-free since January lst because of the autoimmune problems with my thyroid and guts. Maybe that's helping me be not so depressed????

I don't know, but I'm really feeling better!! I'll just stay put on meds where I am for the time being unless pdoc lets me add Campral.

I just wish I would get un-dizzy enough to resume my exercise classes. I have an appt with the Vertigo specialist doc in March, so maybe she'll shed some new light on the dizziness.

I'm trying to get someone to prescribe LowDoseNaltrexone for my RA. My Rheumatologist hadn't heard of it, thought it was another scam. My pdoc said he didn't know enough about the LowDose aspect but thought it was OK with Parnate...to ask my Internist for it. Internist said he'd never heard of it and talk to my Rheumatologist. No one will prescribe it for me.
Geesh!!!

But, this whole week my depression is better..I have more energy and hope!! This is a great thing!! I hope hope hope it lasts!!

So that's my story at the moment.

Thank you so much for caring!!

xxooxx Gayle
