Recuperation
Sep. 5th, 2012 06:57 pmDidn't leave the house today and I barely left bed. I got up every hour or two to do very light stretches and move around. my knees and ankles hurt a lot. arms/hands too.
I realized the increase in pain started a bit after I tapered down the cymbalta as an experiment to see if it was doing anything. My doctor said probably i would hurt more but if i didn't then that lets me know it's not doing anythnig. Okay.... i guess he was right. I started taking the normal dose again last night and spent today also nauseated and dizzy from the increase. Okay I am not going to fuck with the Cymbalta any more for a while and just accept I'm taking this stuff plus the voltaren as soon as they refill it. I was on a lot of pain meds the last few days. let's see if I can get through today without them.
my friend offered to take me out for a drive in nature and that sounds pretty great. so i'm doing that tomorrow afternoon though it might be slightly wiser to just stay in bed. other than that i will continue to lay low and not expect any great activity or productivity. I would like to swim on Friday though.
