Equuswoman has one week before she is done bead counting! Let's all show our support for everything she has accomplishe'd and gone through up to this point and forward to her 'New Free Life'!

You've walked this difficult road, you been here to support others unconditionally, you've shared your story openly, you've asked for support, and you are on you way home..!

I'm proud of you.
I admire your courage and strength.
I thank you for all your support.
I thank you for the tears you brought to my eyes.
I thank you for the smiles you put on my face.
I thank you for the time you give in support.
I thank you most of all for 'just being you'.

These next seven days are dedicated to you. Each and everyday we will be here counting down with you.
Don't think for one minute we are not going to be here this week and the days and weeks to follow..
I know I will walk these days with you! I can only bet you will see many more posts here daily from all you've inspired and all who have inspired you..and walking right along on the other side of you..

You are our Number One Inspiration!

All the best of 'everything' to you my friend!

    5 months on cymbalta, scary side effects, to get help and to return the favor if I can.

Posted 13 March 2014 - 05:13 AM

Equuswoman, I am counting the days with you, you are in my thoughts!

 

Still in awe, 1 bead per day, what courage it takes to go as slow! Surely a Guinness record!

 

Bravo, you are quite a lady.

What can I say. My friend, EW, who I hold dear in my heart like a close sister I never had (I had two brothers, explains the Cymbalta lol). You will always be in my prayers and I know God has a special place for you in heaven.

 

God Bless

    I c/t'd from 60mg in 2009. Went back on and started tapering. Spent the next 4 years trying to get off. It was very difficult. Finally stopped at 17 beads on Dec.4, 2013.

Posted 14 March 2014 - 01:31 PM

Hoping for you that every day is better than the last, Equuswoman. Good luck!

I thank you for all your support.
I thank you for the tears you brought to my eyes.
I thank you for the smiles you put on my face.
I thank you for the time you give in support.
I thank you most of all for 'just being you'.

These next seven days are dedicated to you. Each and everyday we will be here counting down with you.
Don't think for one minute we are not going to be here this week and the days and weeks to follow..
