    Had a scary incident, now thinking of getting off Cymbalta. I came for advice, support and friendship.

So, just hanging around the house waiting to shower before MRI appt at noon, thought what the heck, let's do a test run on counting the little beads.

 

Don't use a reflective object (like a knife point) to move the little guys around, it causes a reflection (well duh) and really messed with my counting ... I have macular degeneration in right eye so my perception is sorta off anyway. 

 

Then I think I lost count (but I don't know) because all I was focusing on the reflection. 

 

I think the first cap had 74 beads ...

 

now

 

were are those toothpicks?

Scared60 That made me laugh! I can imagine the frustration that would cause, those pesky tiny beads. I had a small container full of the things and managed to tip them all into the floor. I was finding little beads around my kitchen for weeks! I have been placing my beads into a container lid (not a white one for obvious reasons) and have been using a pointy set of tweezers to manoeuvre one by one into a gel capsule. The tweezers give a good grip and works for me. Good luck with your future bead counting!
