Daily Check In Thread for all!!! Chapter "15"

Top of the morning to all. Yes, many prayers to all in the path of the Hurricane. This weather all over has been a struggle.

I cannot really believe I found the new link. Thanks, Karen for putting Chapter 15, it was the key.

Day 4 of my journey going back on Cymbalta. Slept better last night, so not as fatigued as I was yesterday. Had to add Benedryl to kick in the sleep, but that's okay.

Mind chatter down, however it seems to wear off later in the afternoon/evening. I had been clinching my jaw so hard, I chipped a couple of my back teeth. And I don't have jaw pin or clinching until around 3pm.

Going to the chiropractor today for more cold laser therapy. Really helps my herniated discs and nerve damage from a epidural block.

Prayers for everyone to have a happy, healthy day!

Good Morning all!

Karen so glad to hear you are having a Banner Day!

Abizzy, if you still have racing thoughts and grinding of teeth, [ which are my problems also] you might want to ask the doc to try .25mg of risperdal (sp?)at night. It helps tremendously for me and the does is low enough that weight gain is not an issue.

I also take 120mg a day of cymbalta and I have to say it works well for me, took a full 2 months for me to get adjusted to it though. I also drink 16 oz of water when I take it and eat a yogurt right after. This routine works well with the side effects for me.

Prayers to all in the Isaac zone!

Kara,

that is funny, my husband said the same about me! Bobby Sherman, I was the only one of my few friends that like him! You MUST be a nice person.

I take 60 in am and 60 at dinner time. Used to take 120 in am but could not function all day and finally woke up at bedtime!

I still get blurry vision on bad days and if anxiety is high, I will clench my jaw, but these days are far and few between now.

Stay strong and nice posting with you! :)

Kara,

I am so glad that you are feeling better. And you too Trina. I went for a nice walk in the woods with my girlfriend. I let my dog Jasmine run out there. She is surely tired out. It did me good to get out in the woods.

Have a wonderful day both of you!!!

Hugs, Karen

PS I took risperdol, it worked fantastic. I switched to abilify eventually. It works good too.

YAY JAMIE!!! GOOD FOR YOU. I HOPE THAT YOU FEEL RESTED.

HUGS, KAREN...

Friday smilers...   **************************   Idle Thoughts Of A Wandering Mind:   How much wind could a windbreaker break ….if a windbreaker could break wind?   Have you ever wondered   How can there be self-help "groups"?     Did you know that 50 years ago….   Time sharing meant time the family spent together ……..not condominiums.   **************************

mornin' Jam....

Good morning, all.

Shut down last night (emotionally) so I took Cymbalta after dinner instead of right before bedtime. Brain kicked in again and can I get an amen, slept great!

Upping dose tonight. Am sooooo glad this med works for me.

We are expecting storms fom the hurricane this weekend and the last storm tore up our roof, still waiting on roofers!

Hope everyone has a great day.

Blessings, love, peace & health.

Morning everyone!

Coffee is a great idea this am Karen, I am on my second cup. My black blob of mystery emotions is chasing me today and making me foggy! HI JAMIE HOPE YOU ARE WELL

My husband appreciated the windbreaker piece, as that is how he greets each morning! I know. TMI!

Kara, so glad that cymbalta is working for you, AMEN to Gods grace!! During these good times remember to focus on you and try mindfulness if you can. It helps in the darker times when you have it as part of your life.

Kara stay safe in the storms let know how you are if you can.

Happy day everyone! Art is urging me to draw today.

Trina

WOW JAMIE,

THAT REALLY STINKS. I HOPE THAT YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH YOUR DAY. MAYBE A NAP WILL BE IN ORDER. I HOPE THAT YOU GET SLEEP TONIGHT.

HUGS, KAREN

Evening Trina, Karen, Joyce and Jamie.

So sorry you aren't sleeping Jamie. I've struggled with that or 30 years, it's no fun. Will say a prayer that you are able to sleep well.

Amen to God's grace, Trina. Without Him I wouldn't be here. I guess I realized I've been in dark times most of my life.

The med is just now kicking in with nausea. Ugh. Around 3ish, it begins. Very groggy today and zero energy. Still got on the treadmill and ran errands.

Going to 60 mg tonight.

Prayers for health to all in every way.

Thanks Kara
Have a great evening!
