no thanks to u-CRAWL, me and my stuff limped into Loveland a few daze ago. so far, and much to my extreme amazement, i am the person i wanted to be once i moved here. if it needs doing, i does it. if it needs fixing, i fixes it. the seroquel/serzone/clonopin cocktail is working wonderfully and i sleep like an underwater cemetery. no wierd dreams yet because just waking up here tops them all.
i wont say i'm recovered from depression and all the other schnive i've sufferred from for most of my life. i AM, most happily, experiencing one lengthy remission. i WILL also say that people who question whether someone who claims to be in a major remission might want to remember that the person in remission doesnt need others to tell them how well they are doing as much as they might previously have. for once, they already know! finally, the question as to whether or not the person in remission is/was actually suffering from anything is purely insulting and the questioner might want to look into where thier suspicions come from.

Yep, you know what the old John Denver song says, Rocky Mountain High....Enjoy the remission. But keep your feet on the ground. You might have some reality setting in after the novelty of the move wears off. That is certainly not to say your remission will end, but be prepared. It is all in the interpretation. When real life sets in, and the "high" feels less so, don't go interpreting it as a backslide.
Meantime, enjoy your new environs and the excitement of starting a new life.

Welcome to God's country, Paul! Am I ever prejudiced. Remember, the natives are watching you, except that I can't see through the big hill.

Ditto. Hope you like it here and that your remission continues.

thats the beauty of it-its NOT a "high"! i feel more normal damn bloody old NORMAL than i ever thought i could. i always envied the pants off of these all-too-healthy types that did what needed to be done when/if/how/why it needed to be done rather than indulging in terminal gluteal spread avec pork rinds. now i are a version of these healthy types-a. sure there's loads of novelty-like the fact that i'm filing a formal complaint against my cretinous next door neighbor who tortures his dog by leaving it penned up all day. the dog is nicer than the people who own it but i'll be damned if i'm going to put up with the CONSTANT noise! this is something i checked out before i moved. i'm DETERMINED to make any and all possible adjustments so that coloraddy becomes the dream i always had of it.
just today i aired up my tires and went on a 15 mile spin down roads i've never seen before. one was from the moon judging from the amount of craterage. in the LAND OF NOTHING (mizzery) i had to pack all my stuff and drive an hour before i could ride. here i JUST RIDE!!!SUCH A DEAL!!! and i get out in the middle of nowhere toot sweet!! once again, this is NOT a "high" it's a well-thought out out (out out? what is this out-out??) attempt at a radical improvement in lifestyle.

happily, i'm keeping my old doc. i'll never find a better one. he wants to hear from me on an episodic basis and maybe we'll schedule a phone-meeting sometime. and meds are NO problem.

Glad you had a safe trip. When you have time to settle, I'd really be interested to know how the change in external events in your life has affected you. (I'm interested in the possibility that external events when continuously negative might hamper AD effectiveness, but when external every day living is mainly positive, it might boost one "up a level" or something.)

all i can give you is the facts. my last two rides, the first since i moved here, were 2.8 and 3.4 mph higher in average speed respectively than ANY ride back in mizzery. while there is less air to breathe here, there is also SUBSTANTIALLY less water in the air to prevent transpiration. at least thats my theory. tired of fixin house stuff-the folks that preceeded me definitely were NOT at all mechanically inclined. so far so good!

Careful with those rides! My brother-in-law, a young guy, is in surgery right now in Denver getting three pins inserted in his hip as a result of his last ride (that is crash). He is an avid cylist, so his bike will probably only be in storage for the six weeks he is on crutches. Watch those grades! Actually, he unexpectedly hit mud on his road bike in a tunnel.
This is not a meds topic, but I do want you to feel welcome.Chris A.

dont know how experienced your brother is but i always crawl through tunnels. you never know what's in there. i chose Loveland for it's flatness so i could develop the legs and lungs i'd need for the grades you mentioned. no warnings necessary there-
