My Unplanned Sabbatical

A journey with follicular lymphoma

An experiment

I stopped taking my nausea meds yesterday and continued without them today. Resorting only to Panadol for the headaches.

I wanted to test the link between the quality of my headspace and the anti nausea drugs. I think there is a strong link. I feel so much stronger and positive mentally off those drugs. I am also much happier. Nausea is still not great but I can tolerate it if I eat regularly.

I am also off coffee. Cold turkey. It was making me ill.

So my plan is to continue this month without the drugs and hopefully avoid some of the blacker days.

Today felt like a day of transition. More good than bad.

    Hey Duch – hopefully the black days will be few and far between. I am not surprised you are taking control with the meds…may the positive transition continue. Fx
