Okay - not sure if this is the right place to write about this or if I should start a thread - but here goes. On Tuesday I didn't feel well. I did however drink on Tuesday. Wednesday I felt a lot worse and did not want to drink - Neither did I want to on Thursday - this is really unusual for me - usually even if I feel poorly, I will still want to drink. Today, my head wants to drink but my body says a definite NO - I think if I had a drink I would be sick - or that is how it feels. My Murphy's started tasting really off last week so I changed to Guinness - but have not had anything since Tuesday - and will not be drinking today either. The thought of it turns my stomach!

I have no idea if this is Nal related or if I just have a bug of some sort ..... it feels sort of surreal to be honest - and I keep thinking about drinking but know that I cannot have one !!

Has anyone else had this sort of thing happen and can anyone shed any light on what is going on with me ?

Thanks, Hugs, Maggie x

it's hard to know Maggie - could be Nal, could be a bug, perhaps a bit of both. maybe give it a few days & see how you are then?

hope you feel better either way

Hi Maggie

I know that the thought of drinking makes me feel sick, but that didn't start until perhaps two years of TSM. It must be worrying to not know what the cause is.

Thanks Badger and UKB - I still feel the same this morning but have started a 14 days course of meds .... it should take effect in a couple of days - fingers crossed that it works - although if feeling sick means I do not drink, then of course this is a plus !! I was rather disappointed though that even when I have not been drinking I am not sleeping well - I thought the AL was stopping me sleeping well! Moan, moan, moan!

Hugs, Maggie x

Hi Maggie hope you are feeling better! Curious...in general how has that first drink after work temptation been going? Your description is very similar to mine

Hi there - I have not had a drink since Tuesday as I just feel sick at the thought of it - am THINKING about taking the Nal today - just to see! But in general, before Tuesday, I still always want that first drink when I get in ....

Hugs, Maggie x

Hi Maggie!

I'm sorry you have been sick! However I am very excited about your results. Yes you should take credit!! You and I seem to follow the same pattern. You should feel proud! I do hope you feel better though!

Hhmmmm ...... it has been a very strange week and I wasn't sure what to say in this post! I didn't feel well as you all know earlier in the week - but have felt okay the past day or two - but have not wanted to drink - the thought of actually drinking made me feel sick - very odd for me !! Yesterday I considered taking a Nal and having a drink just because that is what I do - but I could not bring myself to take the Nal nor have the drink.

Today I did end up taking the Nal - simply because I could not believe what was happening to me ...... I cannot decide if it was my feeling poorly causing this or what - but I have had ONE drink today. I had it because of habit - I didn't crave it, and had to actually talk myself into it. I will not be having a second.

This might be part of my not feeling well earlier in the week - only time will tell - the whole thing seems surreal to me right now. I want Nal to work for me but cannot decide if I actually like the not wanting to drink feeling ....quite odd for me.

Quite a conundrum going on in my head right now ......

Hugs, Maggie x

Sounds like you may be on the verge of a breakthrough.

She certainly is and doing an amazing job!
