Hi All. My first post on here, but have been using the forums for many years. Don't want to go into too much personal detail at the moment as I have not much time, but I wanted to join the board and try to help people, and hopefully myself at the same time, by becoming a regular on the board. I'm from the UK and suffered terribly at the hands of OCD for many, many years. It has single handedly (spelling) ruined a promising career in sport and supped out most of the very life out of me. I've particularly become fond of reading threads by Ace and Phillipa and Linkadge amongst others who I cant remember at the moment who are always well informed and very polite, and have really helped me despite their own suffering. It's kinda like I know you guys in a weird way..I have mostly been a guinea pig for treatment during the early years of my illness and eventually found some small relief in certain drug therapies which I will disclose full details later.I hope I can be as informative and helpful to you guys as you guys have been for me. Anyway, the reason that made me come on this board today is that I have had the best OCD free day for years, and thought I would share some optimism. I was pretty bad last night and have had a pretty bad last 22 year or so despite odd remmisions for a few weeks and partial help or blunting for years with medication. However last night I decided to start some experimenting of different meds. I dosed with 2 X Tramadol caplets that basically wiped out todays OCD. I would like to discuss this with the regulars and my past history if thats ok. I aim to experiment slowly and safely. Look forward to your replies and sharing some of my personal life with you guys.
