Hello again all
Sounds like everyone could use some prayers!
Todays been a bit tiring at work, pain flared up again since the weekend and getting me down a bit. I've reduced Lyrica from 500mg to 200mg because I was getting side effects with the little man in my pants haha, so maybe that has something to do with it. I seem much better in terms of side effects at 200mg so am hoping my nervousness and mood, and hopefully pain, will stabilise a bit at this dose and I can stick at it.
Been offered a temporary promotion at work too much not sure I want to take it. I don't like too much stress or responsibility and don't need the money. I have lots of free time at the moment to do things like play piano and (try to) write my novel :D
Thinking of you all

Hi Andy,
Been a while...
Keep things to where you are comfortable. This is your life, make decisions that don't stress you out.
I hope the reduction of the lyrica helps.
Hugs, Karen...

Happy bird-day HT!
Good to see you back, Andy.
Karen--hope all is well. Snow yet?
My old honda got towed away today. **sad** Read lots of bad papers today--and one good one. The harlequin bugs are gone form the garden--I had to pull all my remaining nasturtiums--since they seemed to love them. But, I lost all the radish, bok choy, and broccoli rabe seedlings to their appetite. Lettuce and swiss chard are going great . I have a scallop squash under a little greenhouse dome--and it is about
to flower.
Heat finally broke here--after almost a week at 90 degrees.

Hi everyone,
I've just joined today, just wanted to say hello! and tell you abit about
myself. I've struggled with anxiety and depression on and off for many years. This year has been particularly tough due to my son mainly who is struggling with anxiety, SPD and possible ASD. Despite battling on with relaxation/ mindfulness etc. I was spiralling downwards. I'm not a fan of taking medication but I know I had tried everything naturally to help me feel better but it wasn't working. 2 months ago I started Lexapro, which I had been on many years ago. It started working ok on the half but on the full tablet I started to feel worse plus had side effects of pins and needles all over my body and visual disturbances. I've now started Zoloft, so we will see how that goes.not feeling too flash this morning after taking half last night. Got a blinding headache but will see how we go. I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Hello everyone. I haven't been on here in awhile, so I decided to drop in and see how how you all are doing.
I've had some pretty rough days, but am feeling a bit better.
I haven't been to work in over a month, but feeling optimistic about
going back soon.
The weather has cooled down quite a bit in my neck of the woods. Enough that a sweater is required when going outside. Doesn't seem like we had much inbetween nice comfortable days this year. Straight from hot to very cool.
I'm not sure what store you all are talking about
getting savings on gas depending on what you spend. May not be available in my area, but would appreciate some info on it from anyone who has info.. thanks!
Hope everyone has a good day.

Hi Margie,
Hi Marlz,
Welcome to the forum Marlz.
Margie, the grocery store that I go to gives out gas coupons if you spend enough money on groceries. There is a participating gas station near by. That is how I get a discount on gas. As long as they keep doing it, I save. Ha...
I hope you have a good day.
Good day to all.
Hugs, Karen...

Well Marzi, and Andy, [I think you are new]
Jamie, missed your day again!! Apologies, I do hope it was enjoyable and did what you wanted.
Happiest of days, and the rest of the year mate!
Lyric,YUCK. When that first came out.. a neurologist put me on it for the nerve damage in my head.. did nothing for my chronic pain.. I was up to 600mg day.
Starting getting dark brown moles all over, with a black ring around them. Looking suspicious.
When to derma.. he cut 5 off. Benine.
Pharmacist, confirm it was a side effect, Doc insisted it was not, I changed docs..
Peace
Trina

Hi everyone,
I think I rarely do this, I don't actually know, try not to be a 'sad sack' at any rate'
I am scared, well extremely anxious over a ENT Doc appointment tomorrow morning..
Last Tuesday I went for an exam. GP sent me to ENT
4 weeks of localized pain on the right side, pain going into ear canal, and a feeling of my skill tightening in my throat.. Anything I swallowed burned..
Was coughing up a few things I did not like!
Doc put me on 1,000mg [yes one thousand] of anti-biotics twice a day, a very thorough and painful exam.
Throat does feel better, severe pain is gone.. yucks appear to gone.
Had the MRI done yesterday am. 45min, hard near the end. Long time.. Head pain did not like it.
What ever it is, it is still there, there is something not right, I can feel it.. Try real hard to not think about
, do pretty well most of the time.
I am hoping it is just part of some weird infection. Tonsils have been long gone.
If you pray to what/who ever you have have faith in, I would appreciate a word or two for my health.
thanking you in advance.
Peace
Trina
