I know I am getting my hopes up already, but…I spoke to my neurologist today and he says he still wants to try to take me off my one med since it makes me feel so bad. So tonight I start a lower dosage. If in a week I have no added or increased PTC symptoms then at that time the dosage will drop again and so on until I am off the med!!! I’ll still be on one medicine but I think thats fine w/ me, for now. My biggest thought right now is that if this works, if this is truly the miracle we’ve been waiting for, then we might be able to start thinking about baby # 2 again!! I dont think theres as big a concern w/ taking my one med and being pregnant, at least not as big a concern as taking the other one and getting pregnant. I know I shouldnt get so excited about something that might not happen, but for once in the last few months I actually have hope about feeling better soon. Now we just wait and see what happens!!!!! Say lots of prayers for us!!! I know this might just be temporary for me, going off meds, but if it gives me enough time off meds to get pregnant and deliver a healthy baby than I’ll take it!! The waiting and seeing approach is never the best for me, but if I can at least have something to look forward to if it works out then it’s worth it. As opposed to the last few months of not knowing what was going to happen, I know at least now I might be able to enjoy food again soon!! We’ll know more in a day or two after the dosage has been dropped, so heres to a bright starting new year!! WOHOO!!!
