It seems I had been taking too much lithobid because I had lost too much weight.

 

When it was stopped my husband said it was just like turning on a lightswitch. I started to improve.

 

I had gotten back my right side except my for my face. The lower right side was still paralyzed.

 

I didn't need the "thickit" added to the liquids. But my attempts to talk were to no avail.

 

My words -when they came to me was a problem and getting them out was another.

 

Jibber jabber. I have always been a private person but not anymore.

 

To get the least things I had to make a big deal out of it and that was certainly not my way.

 

Now I am much more extroverted and I speak to my church and recently a funeral.

 

Everybody says they can understand me but what would they say to me if they couldn't?

 

Also, I don't need the lithobid any more. I started to trust people again.

Sharon,

 

This is great news---that stopping a drug could make this much of a positive difference in your life. I'm happy for you.

Great news on the drug.

Folks might not say but they get that glazed expression and say "oh right" to me so I know they misunderstood that word. You'd know if they didn't understand trust me!
