for the past 2 days. Interstates thru the city were a grid lock of frozen ice. We were according to the weather ppl were to only have a "dusting" of snow.
This is NOT the NORM for the southern part of the country. Thankfully we didn't lose our power.
We are still 'waiting for the thaw'....I am thankful that it will be ABOVE freezing tomorrow.
Now for "me"...& my w/d from my friend Cymbalta ...weaning down slowly using the bead counting method. Will take 50 beads tonight. fishinghat and this moment helped me to learn to bead count when I found the Cymbalta forum. There are so many ppl here who are so helpful and willing to share their experiences. I am so thankful that I found this forum back in Oct and began my weaning process on Thurs Nov 7th. Been on 60mg daily for LBP due to osteoarthritis....
Headaches not as bad. Took some advice from timbo. Got "out" and into some physical activity. Helps lots to do that.
I have 3 horses I care for and they require stalls cleaned (mucked) being fed, groomed and ridden etc. This activity helped me to feel better. When I awakened that morning @ 6am my head was splitting, I just didn't think that I could even get out of bed but the words of timbo rang in my ears, "no excuses" so I got up layered up, (its cold) pulled on my boots and to the horse stables I went. The HA slowly disappeared WooHoo was I ever GLAD!
As a nurse, retired, I know that physical activity is a good thing for us as it releases Mother natures 'feel good' chemicals in our brains and I need all of that I can get for certain!
I'm glad to be back on the forum and would like to say welcome to all the newbies and am glad that you're here. Ready to be of help to whomever I can here on this wonderful support forum. 'tis good 2B here!
Anyhow that's an update on TheEquusWoman from SweetHomeAlabama
