Week 2: The Great No Medicine Experiment

Well I'm 14 days into the Great No Medicine Experiment & still going strong! I'm completely off 2 meds, more than halfway off another, and still one to go. And so far really minimal side effects. I'm not feeling any better but I don't feel any worse which is a huge blessing!! The next 10 days are the most critical for me as I finish going off my fibro med. I started at 300mg and am today down to 75mg. Next Tuesday or Wednesday will be my last day taking it and within 48 hrs or so after that I will know how my body is reacting to it in terms of pain and withdraw symptoms. Please pray I notice NO difference at all. That would be a complete miracle as this is a very difficult medication to get off of.

I am so excited for the potential to really be off all my meds and the finish line seems close yet still so far away. Your prayers mean so much to me! There have been many nights when I'm fearful of doing this and how my body may react and I cannot tell you the comfort it brings to me to know there are so many people praying for me. So please keep them coming!

Specifically this week I need prayer to sleep through the night every night and experience no increase in pain or withdraw symptoms. I look forward to updating you all again next week!
