I'm glad you got a chance to vent. I spent a year med free as well, and I was that happy go lucky kind of guy. But, I was really just in a hypo phase. Oh it was great!! Until the fall, and when I fell, I crashed so hard, it was like a meteor hitting the earth. So, I'm back on meds, and starting to feel better.
So Warrioress, if you were diabetic or had high blood pressure, you would have to take meds to maintain, correct? Well these meds are no different.
I hope your headache goes away soon. I hate headaches. It's funny how the mind works, I read cigarette, and reached for one.
Have a good day!
