No longer the only Aussie!

So i'm no longer the only Aussie on Octreotide, and I am stocked! So happy for Ken, who has received his first script for Octreotide. I am praying that it works as well for him as it has for me.

Me... Im doing pretty well! Almost 3 months in, and (despite other issues) I feel great. This has been the best birthday/christmas present for the next 10 years!

Neuro was HAPPY!

So I went and saw my Neuro yesterday for a check up after starting the Octreotide. To say he was happy might be an understatement.

He was thrilled with my progress, and wanted lots of details so he can tell others!

He doesn't want to see me again until April, at which stage I will have started the coming off process!

So excitted! and I continue to Praise the Lord everyday for giving me the opportunity to be on this medication!

Path to Success!

Im not getting my hopes up, and I am remaining cautiously optimistic... but I think... think... that I am getting really close to a day without headache!

Still battling with the ankle and being on crutchers which is resulting in headaches from the neck, but the headaches from the IH are minimal. I have had several brief moments each day for the last few days were I have had... NO HEADACHE!!!!

So we are getting there!

Back to the Neuro this morning. Since I last saw him I have lost 10kg and am down to pain levels of 3/10 all but everyday! and haven't had any pain killers for the head in almost 3 months!

WOO!
