As for my health ~ I am well. I can almost remove any mention that I was on effexor. I am off of it so nicely and cleanly. My girlfriend said recently I had turned my back on my greatest ally when it came to the effexor and my menopausal hot flashes. Considering the other negative side effects the effexor brought to the table I had no choice.
I am happy to be effexor free. I am on a low dose of cymbalta and that seems to be working. Nearly cut out alcohol (sorry fibro friends - believe alcohol is not our friend) ~ 'cause I can really feel the effects of alcohol on my pain after a night of imbibing. I only have an occasional headache. Sometimes I even walk normally. What a blessing. Given this week's events I even feel mentally strong enough to seek employment out of this house. (If there is a job out there. . . seem pretty slim pickings). My aunt told me she believes one of her girls (my cousin) may also have fibro (if that is the case I now know 3 others who suffer from it ~ all women). She is a big drinker and know if I tell her she needs to stop it will fall on deaf ears. Our family has a curse that way ~ that and having baaaaaaaaad lungs. No smoking please.
I have a busy day so am going to go now. Feel happy, see hope for the future and am starting to believe in me again. (o: Tess
