The saga continues

30. July 2009 by Bex.

It’s been about six months now since I started trying to get off Cymbalta.  Since then my Fibro has become worse.  I’ve had to start a new drug through a neurologist, I just started physical therapy, and I’ve had to ask for FMLA leave and ADA accommodations.  I can’t talk about things at work because I will likely be fired.  I don’t want that!  Maybe when it is all over, I can fill you all in.

My brain is pretty fuzzy lately.  I can’t seem to remember things on the short term and I have a hard time concentrating.  Video games are near impossible right now.  I have to take the Cymbalta every three to four days, at the same time I take my normal drug cocktail.  That doesn’t feel very good….racing heart, nausea, sweating.  It only lasts a few hours but it’s not pretty.  Until I can get off this horrible drug, I’ll have to put up with it.

That’s about all for my update right now.  Like I said above, I just can’t concentrate!
