The FastDay Forum

D'you know, @Azureblue I may just try the soup method. You're right, of course, soup is very filling! I've not heard of Amy's Kitchen. I'll have me a little looky I think!
@bordergirl that's just wonderful! And well done you for spreading the word!
It sounds as though yesterday was pretty tough for some. Hope you enjoy today , safe in the knowledge that you've achieved yet another successful fast!
Well done xx

@stephd I have tried Gabepentin but the side effects were so horrible it was never going to be a solution for me it turned me into a mush brained zombie , Amitryptilene did the same thing and the doctor basically said choose between the side effects or the pain ....I chose the pain as at least my brain is still my own !

I bombed out of my fast at 7pm last night my heart just wasn't in it ...but a new week is coming hopefully the head will be in a better place

@RedRobin what rotten luck to have such terrible side effects and must live with the pain. Have you heard of Lyrica? I was prescribed it when it was first introduced here in Canada about 8 years ago. I had no side effects whatsoever. Maybe something to try of it is available where you are. Try to enjoy the day! It is overcast here and I don't feel like going out at all today. I'll see if I can persuade myself to go for a short 15 minute walk before it rains! Take care
