I haven’t updated very much lately on my depression. I think I’ve been so neck deep in other stuff that it’s escaped my mind. That could be taken as a good sign.
When I quit the petri dish, I halved my anti-depressant dose successfully. I went from 20mg to 10mg a […]

AS folks have a tendancy to be casien and gluten intollerant. With me and Emma having AS and Ethan being somewhere in the PDRyan range, we have cut MOST casien out of our diets - excepting cheeses, which doesn’t seem to have as much affect. Gluten was a little more difficult. Gluten […]
