> Well, I hope things are going well for you. You deserve it. As far as success, I don't know. I'm on 4 different meds and they knock out my probs well enough for me to be coherent. That and a lot of used college textbooks. I think the Geodon is helping. CFSwise, no change. Maybe more muscle pain but it's still at a level I can deal with. How are you holding up?

What are you taking now? I must have missed some of your posts or else my memory problems are getting worse. Psych textbooks? What have you learned?My CFS is about the same. I don't get achy unless I get a flare-up. I can take hot showers when I take my Florinef, but hot weather, like we had today, still makes me woozy. Odd, that. I haven't had pronounced dizzy spells since I went from 50 mg. to 40 mg. Marplan. There's obviously more than one flavor of CFS.
I've started posting my diary again if you want the details of my mizrys.
