The last few weeks have been good-bad,pain-free/full, just a mix. Mainly waking up .Feeling rough like the end if a day in the morning. Sundays have been bad with car rides and sitting. Makes Monday more dreaded than before. Walking a lot today may gave helped.
That sounds normal.
Overall better quality of life as the pain goes.
Still wish I was better. More better. I'm good, but I do hurt everyday. Maybe after going off the cymbalta I realize it helped some. It was not fun stopping taking it due to the withdrawal symptoms.
Mainly being able to tolerate stupid is easier when medicated. Because I get angry at stupid now. And probably that is the normal response. I think I could ignore or blow off stupid, or just not let it bother me as much. Exercise is important here.
Finding a peace in any moment is good too. I need think to call in my peace quickly as a response--it's out of practice. Whatever was a go-to response for a while.
Now off to stoping the next brain med. I may need to quit caffeine, too. Reduced coffee could help me stay calm since caffeine is a stimulant. Certainly don't one.
