Oh my! I'm so shocked to read this. Glad you are doing better, but scary. I'm glad you have RL friends and people around you to help out and watch over you.

I've missed chatting with you...... take care of yourself my friend.

I’m shocked that you were going through this too!  At least there’s no permanent damage from the mini stroke and I hope the medication helps with the seizures.  I am so sorry this happened to you but it sounds you have a good support system in place.  Please take care and you’ll get through this!

TF,

I'm so sorry to hear about your latest troubles. You've overcome so much and you will overcome this too.

My prayers and those of many others are with you.

(on a fun note - if the drugs won't control the seizures, pot probably will)

Thanks everyone.

mdpetdoc I quit smoking cold turkey so you have a point there. Excellant idea. 

I am also sorry to hear

Thank you Noni!!! Im so grateful to this forum and all the friends I have here.

Awwww lovely Faerie, I have been remiss in posting on the forum lately, so I  have missed your ups and downs.  I hope you're ok, and sending lots of love from across the pond.

I'm fine for now my dear but it was scary stuff. I don't remember anything.

Good Grief TF  do I have to go over there and cut those wings so you will stay grounded and give your body the time it needs to heal?

Going cold turkey == it can be a good thing for some and very dangerous for others like you my dear one.

Your body has been going through so much and now you are having TIA'S and having to ad more meds to your list.

What I mean is your body is revolting by the TIA'S it is it's way of saying slow down and you add the cold cut of  out the nicotine with out an aid.

I know you think you were doing a good thing and it would have been if your body was up for it ,,, I am NOT preaching to you or giving you hell but as an ex smoker of three packs a day and now a none smoker I know of what I speak.

I went electric and it has been almost 5 years now .

A tip for you if I may ,,, keep some nicotine gum around it will take any edge off.

TF please do not take this as I am dumping on you  I am worried about you as we all are and need you around to spread your fairy dust , so take your meds , do as the Doctors say take care of yourself and all the rest will take care of it's self.

You have a huge family and friends here and in real life that love you and worry about you .

My best to you and your dear mom.

Randy

No worries Randy I know you care.

But I have kicked the habit already without much fuss. I have COPD and I would cough my way through a cigarette. Where is just plain stupid on my part.

But I was on a patch at the hospital so it was only cold turkey once I got out.
