Hello all, have not logged on and written for a few days. As most of you know i have fibromyalgia, and take a plethora of meds to help control the pain. fibromyalgia is a chronic muscle pain problem.
Well the Doc had me on Cymbalta for several months, and we decided to change off of that and go to another type of antidepressant. (they are commonly given to people with chronic pain to help control the pain, and the idea of not getting overly depressed about always being in pain).
Anyway, we did the slow progression off of cymbalta, down to zero. Well, quite the drug they got there, about a week after finishing it. the withdrawal symptoms kick in. Google "cymbalta withdrawal hell" you'll get an idea of the long list of withdrawal issues. my biggest problem is ringing in the ears. wow, constant high pitched tone of about 10 thousand crickets. and all pain is amplified. The doc says the worst of it should be over in about another week. mr toad's wilde ride...
So that's why i have not been writing much this week, just a tad hard to concentrate.
I see we got a dusting of snow at the cabin overnight. that surprised me. but we'll take any moisture we can get.
talk to ya all soon. and pay no attention to the voices and bells in your head... they not really there... redrum redrum...
