Hopefully the NDW will be gone by tonight. I know this is just how it goes, but I am getting a little frustrated.

She seems to be feeling fine, so I'm not worried about that, just about how long she's been in high numbers with already high kidney values.

I felt the same way. Sasha's renal values were much higher when we started Lantus because she was still hypothyroid, and I was deathly concerned about damaging them further from being above r/t. Luckily the high numbers passed relatively quickly for us, and I really hope the do for Buzz too. The initial shed construction period was one of the most difficult things for me to have to go through, sitting on my hands like that when I was so used to PZI and being able to shoot down numbers.
Chocolate and wine helped me.... ;-)

Although I am sorry that you had to go through it, Cassandra, I am glad to hear that someone else has, too, and made it out the other side. 
I have had some margaritas with friends tonight and that has helped, I think. 
Her PMPS was still high, unfortunately, but I am holding out hope for tomorrow's AMPS. Thanks for sticking with me and encouraging me. It is quite a difference from PZi but I am confident that Lantus can do the trick or I would have gone on ProZinc instead. Thanks for letting me vent.

I think in many ways, honestly, going through the high numbers and having to sit on my hands was good for me. I've never been good about things that don't provide instant gratification, and it was certainly a life lesson in that. But we did come out the other side, and you will too.
I waited 6 months past when I first wanted to switch to Lantus to actually make the switch. I PM'd Jojo continuously, asking her if she thought it would be better for Sasha and if it would help control the weird swings I got toward the end of our time on PZI. It's amazing the woman still speaks to me with how annoying I must have been. :lol:
I'd been in LL and lurked and posted to the former PZI peeps that I knew, and I was very much aware of the period of high numbers I would have to go through in the beginning from looking at other spreadsheets - that was my hang up the entire time. I was terrified of anything above 200. Worried that it would kill Sasha, make her feel sick, damage her organs, develop ketones. Now I look back and wonder if my delays, my fears, and my anxiety cost her a chance at remission. I'll always have that in the back of my head. Hindsight really is 20/20.
Looking at Sasha's spreadsheet now.....it was 15 days of hell until the smooth sailing started. 15 days. Seems like such a short time now, and felt like an eternity then.
Always here when you need to vent away. :smile:

Wow, 15 days does sound like a long time now, but you're right that it's barely a blip in the bigger picture. Hindsight is 20/20, and I know it must be hard to look back and wonder about Sasha's chance at remission, but you did what you thought was best at the time, and that's all we can ever ask for.
