To hear that you're "scared"....is hard to hear, but I know (from my own experience) that this is the psych drug withdrawal.... Dangerous, mind-altering substances doing their number.... Walk through the fear....as tough as it is....Feel the fear, but not let your spirit be fearful. You're tough, and you're also loved - by many....you have your husband, and many friends.... I'm no spiritual guru, but if I've learned one spiritual thing in my life it's that love gets us through fears. Stay strong, Duane Gianna,

I’m sorry….didn’t see this post until just now…

To hear that you’re “scared”….is hard to hear, but I know (from my own experience) that this is the psych drug withdrawal….

Dangerous, mind-altering substances doing their number….

Walk through the fear….as tough as it is….Feel the fear, but not let your spirit be fearful.

You’re tough, and you’re also loved – by many….you have your husband, and many friends….

I’m no spiritual guru, but if I’ve learned one spiritual thing in my life it’s that love gets us through fears.

Stay strong,

Duane

I know my agony is not exactly the same as yours, and I am able to get out of bed and even go to work, but I totally can commiserate with the ups and downs and knowing it will be a long time before my body heals, too. I've had relief since taking a break from the Cell Food. Have to give it a fair chance and try it again. I was about insane while on it. Anyway, keep us posted on how you are doing and any marginal progress you've made. I think everyone hear wants to see you and each other heal. Gianna:

I'm marginally better, but I think it will be a long time before my body heals...and the ups and downs are all on the down spectrum... it's okay...it will be okay... Dano,

I would love to help you in any way possible. My number is (215)923-6044. Please feel free to ring, it is my cel and I will pick up unless I'm on another line or driving. Enjoying sex will not be a reason to ignore a caller. I may very well be a virgin again. Hon, I'm sorry if the Jenny! story upset you. She has always struck me as a confident woman, able to laugh at herself. For the blog I linked to, the man is a NYC medic. Trust me when I say the Philly guys are a tough crowd. May we kiss and make up? Should I remove the award? Please let me know. But even more important, let me know how you are. All emoticons, smilies and hearts! D Sweetie,

I am marginally better today Jan...at least I've been able to do my work online. But getting on my feet...well...that's not going to happen any time soon most likely... I will keep on marching along...there is really no other choice. thanks susan and Jan,

I also wish I had a magic pill or wand or anything to make this go away YESTERDAY. You are truly amazing in what you push through to do for so many, and you do have to take care of yourself. I hope the next time you reply you have improved, even if it's by the slightest amount, and that it continues from there. I hope this hell you are going through now turns into endless joy and energy in the end! Gianna:
