I don't know how to explain the last two months but I am happy about it. When I was feeling so bad that I could not work I thought things probably couldn't get worse than they were. After being out of work for two months my savings was completely gone and I had no money for any of my medications. Unfortuantly, I could not get help from any one since I still had health insurance. The way of the world I guess.
Anyhow, I started to feel better. I was very weary at first just thinking it would be very short lived. Days turned to weeks and soon I was feeling good enough I went back to work. As soon as I got my paycheck I went to fill my scripts but decided to wait a little longer to see if I kept getting better and stronger. I did! I finally confided in my friend John who I thought for sure was going to kill me. Except he also noticed the change. He did strongly urge me to call up Dr. Maron in Boston to see what he would think about it.
I did and we had a discussion today. He said that if I felt that good without the medicine that I could try going without it. He told me that the medicine was to make me feel better if it didn't then I shouldn't take it. I also have an ICD so he said that that would be good enough protection for now. Also, at the first sign of any problems I was to call him back.
I am very thankful with this turn of events. But in no way am I insinuating that anyone should stop taking their medication. I had no help to get the medicine so it was out of necessity that I did without. I do wonder however, if some of us have gotten over medicated and that is why some of us do feel so bad. Just a thought.
I do know that with this new found health I am not going to take it for granted. I am going to enjoy every minute that I feel well. I assumed that the medication was for the rest of my life. I guess I am just expressing how abnormal I am

Sorry for such a long post but has anyone else experienced miraculous turn of events like this?
