-- a new day

I get up when the pain tells me to it's 5:00 A.M. New meds,celexa

stratterra. I don't know how well celexa gona work yet but the side effects

are bearable. Stratterra is for AADD so it helps with brain fog real well,it

makes it easier to get up and do things around the house I would otherwise

not do out of frustration over not doing to my satisfaction(I used to be a

perfectionist till I gave up on everything )

I dont know what the world going to through at me today but w/GODS help I

will make it and your help as well. Continuied thanks for your prayers and

concern.........GOD BLESS ..........JOHN

Mornin', . It's not quite 4 where I am, haven't been able to

sleep yet, even with lunesta. Legs are mad at me. Think maybe a

little potassium might help, will try tomorrow. The guvmint used to

give me provigil for the fog, it really helped with energy, too. I

used to be a perfectionist, too, but I'm learning how to let things

slide a little bit now and again. It is frustrating. I've been

told I'm too hard on myself, expect too much from myself and that

makes it harder. Maybe if i'm lucky I'll keel over snoring soon,

we'll see what happens after that. I'll hang in there if you will,

k? Lord knows we can use all the good wishes and help we can get!

Have a good day anyway!

Hugs

,

I hear ya about perfectionism. It kept me from doing a lot too. I try to live

in gray areas rather than black and white now. It's not easy...takes a

conscious effort most of the time, but I'm " getting it " more than I ever used

to.

We took a little trip yesterday to see some clients who are now friends. Drove

all over, had a nice lunch by the ocean. It was lovely, but oh so tiring. So

today I'm down for the count.

Be well, W

Dear .........I hope the Celexa works for you. I has been the only

antidepressant I have been able to take without side effects. I have been

taking it for 8 years. I take 60mg. I also take Wellbutrin. Both really help

me a lot. Follow your psychiatrist's advice, and if you aren't feeling as you

think you should, don't hesitate to call. I bug my psychiatrist all the time

and he always returns my calls.

In the beginning 8 years ago, before I had any pain meds, I used to sit at the

kitchen table and say over and over again, " I want to die. I want to die. " I

began to feel so serious about it and so frightened that I would really do it,

that I threw away all the pills we had in the cupboard leftover from when

prescriptions had been changed, etc. My plan was to take all of these pills at

once and check out. What kept me from doing it was my family and knowing how

devastated they would be. So I removed the means I was going to use to do it.

So I certainly understand, and to anyone else who has contemplated killing

yourself, it is not that uncommon among fibros. So don't feel alone or

ashamed. Best thing is to talk about it. I have told my husband that if I ever

feel that bad again, I will tell him right away, and we will get help. The main

thing to realize is that you are never alone and you really do matter, and if

you need help just scream HELP as loud as you

can!!!!!!!

Regarding the hydrocodone, my instructions are to take one every 4 hours, but

sometimes, if one doesn't do it, I will take 2. Mostly, however, I try to rely

on Ultram and Flexiril. Usually I take 50 or 100mg twice/daily and sometimes 3

times/daily. I don't have Ultracet, but adding Tylenol is supposed to boost the

effect of the Ultram, so I take that sometimes.

Xanax never worked for me. I take klonopin for anxiety and to help me

sleep...1mg/2Xdaily.

Hope this helps some, but all questions should really be directed toward your

Drs. You could use are experiences as examples, but remember, every person is

different. You have to hang in there and be patient until the right combination

of meds is found. If you think you have dr. now who are listening to you, keep

asking questions. That is what they are there for.

Much love being sent your way..........Carley
