Yes!!! I would far rather someone be authentic – in both good and not so good ways – than be a liar. Because if they aren’t being authentic, they aren’t being genuine and therefore fake. 🙂
How are you feeling today? Any better?
I have less pain and gravity isn’t weighing so heavily on me as it did yesterday but I’m weak as water still and unsteady on my feet. But feeling better in myself.
Migraines are hideous. Mine improved massively when I stopped taking cymbalta.
Hope tomorrow brings improvements for you xx
It’s awful how pain becomes something we are wired to know is now a part of our daily lives, isn’t it? It takes me a long time to even realize if I’m pain free, so I probably miss out on moments because I always hurt.
I took Cymbalta for about 8 years. It was a very high dose (my doctor approved it, even though it was radical). I felt like a normal human-being again almost entirely, until it stopped working. I still got migraines then, but I was on a great migraine medication to prevent and another to stop the migraine once it started. I suffer more now that I am no longer on any of that medication, but there’s not much I can do; none of it works any more. I took Aleve the other night for the migraine and it worked, but it’s only been the last year and a half or so that I’ve been able to do that.
That sounds familiar – things working and then just stopping. I’m glad you had 8 years of feeling good 🙂
It’s amazing how the same drug can have such vastly different impacts on people. The only consistently effective pain reliever for FM isn’t available in the US and it makes me so angry because its not even an opiate so its not like the situation with dihydrocodeine which they prescribe here (and made me hallucinate and lose time) but is a class A restricted drug in Japan. No, this one does ease the pain. You have to take it at regular intervals but it helps. Its called nefopam hydrochloride. It doesn’t stop the bad days tho 😦
I’m not as good as yesterday but my sleep has gone to hell again. And the dr won’t prescribe the pills that help me sleep for more than 28 days supply maybe once every 3 mths…….in case I get addicted. But yes, I agree about the finding it hard to recognise when there is no pain. Its so infrequent its always a surprise.
Hang in there my friend. The warmer days are coming and hopefully better days too ((((hugs))))

Unfortunately, a lot of people know nothing about being genuine. They might have genuine moments, but are they genuine people? Not always.
I’m so-so. Recovering from a migraine, but doing the best I can. Hope you’re feeling better too. 🙂
