Just an update. I am still here and looks like I plan to stay around for a while longer. Had some awful symptoms last night. The flu like thing. Sweating one minute and chilling the next. Sore as hell this morning. All in all tho not a bad day. Went out and got a haircut. Its been about six months so I lost about 5 pounds of hair. Went to the bike shop and bought some harley parts for my old antique 66 shovelhead im restoring. Also got to visit with Hoss the store owner and a good friend of mine. had some good laughs and almost felt normal for a change. had the whole place laughing too. Hoss's wife has Lou Gherigs disease cant remember the name ALS? does that sound right. anyway she is dying but he loves her and still takes her for motorcycle rides in a sidecar. She cant walk now so he has to carry her. Thats a very cool love dont you think. OK im rambling. take care and stay strong. MOK

Mok,
So glad to hear you had a good day, the more of those you have the less those nasty physical symptoms will bother you:) I cried to read of your friends' wife, he is truly her hero.. I often have to remind myself of what a wonderful husband I have, and tell him how much his love means to me, if it wasn't for him I would go completely crazy right now, he is my rock. Cool love does rock:)
Best as always,
Jen

That's so good to hear mokincaid ! I have a lot of the sweating & chilling issues too. Having FM as I do I have the flu thing all the time anyway, it's hard for me to tell sometimes whether it's that or the Cymbalta causing these things. I think it's so funny(and not the ha ha kind) that C is approved for FM and causes symptoms & side effects that are the same as having FM :twisted:
I do know I started feeling much worse after being on the evil drug.
Hey I was just wondering if anyone has noticed a side effect of being like dyslexic? I have never had any problem of this sort until Cymbalta! Now it drives me wild, takes me forever to type things as I have to keep going back and correcting what I've done...letters in words aren't in the right order! All the letters of words are there just mixed up.
Anyhoo...mokincaid I'm sure you have countless good days ahead & just don't let a not so good one here or there sneak up on you.
Be Well,
Bobbie

Mokincaid,
Good to hear from you! I don't know much about motorcycles, but it sounds like you have a cool project going on. Your friend sounds like a really good person. Next time you feel really down, head to the motorcycle shop...that sounds like one of your "happy places." Hang tough and keep us posted!
