It's just a bump in the road, nsa. It's not permanent, and it's not all that high. A little slip, that's all. Just try to keep your head up and keep going. Hopefully, you'll be able to get away for a bit soon.

nsa don't focus on the fact that you did si.. focus on the fact that you haven't done it for a long while. that is an accomplishment. today is another day and you can start over. just a little bump like tl said.

As you know me pretty well, I know all about bumps in the road and having to look at each and every day as a new one with it comes to si. You didn't do it for a long time and for that you should be extremely proud of yourself. Pat yourself on the back for that and well I was just wondering if there is any connection between tapering off the meds and the need to SI. I might be completely out to lunch but just wondering?

Take care and remember that you are always in my thoughts.

Nsa, I've got to echo the rest - to not si in a long time is an achievment! Sometimes part of SIing is habitual, and so to break that habit deserves a pat on the back. So last night was a bad night for you - things like this happen to us, and while you should look at it as a measure of how poorley you were feeling, try not to get bogged down in the guilt of it all.
Thinking of you today

nsa i was thinking the same thing as nancy.. the si may have been a result of you tapering your meds more than your docs want you to. please consider this as a possibility.

I agree.

I think this is very possible. Please see my reply to your other post where I warned about a relapse by going off your meds too early.

Agreed. Tapering meds without a doctor's help is (while better than just quitting cold turkey) a risk. If the doctors feel you should be on these medications longer, their expertise on the subject gives them a more clear look at what you're going through and what is needed to treat it. Second-guessing a doctor is never a good idea. You might seek another opinion, but to take matters into your own hands is courting disaster, in my opinion.
