Yes and my Inner Adult is able to remind me of that and quiet my Inner Parent so I tell myself "maybe if you dind't spend so much time in front of the computer.. " or "if you were more responsible you would have done this while you had vision insurance in Vermont" and I can say "maybe I could have done this in Vermont but I can't change that and I am taking care of it now." and my Inner Parent just grumps off and mutters about kids these days (or something).

I'm so frustrated that all I can do is laugh: I'm pretty sure I'm having an allergic reaction to the Cymbalta. I have no idea why I'm such a delicate flower when it comes to drugs, but I am flushed and itchy and I recognize the signs of an allergic reaction. Dang it.

do you have any Benadryl-ish stuff to take?

ION, I just unfollowed a friend who had just found me again after being out of touch for years. She just admitted she's voting for Trump. sad now.

I have ALL THE BENADRYL. Well, a lot. And I took some.

I'm not worried about the reaction; I'm annoyed, because it means I have to start over. Although I barely got started with this one. Sheesh. Maybe I should just go back to Lexapro even though it screwed with my memory.

Have you tried Pristiq? It's my magic drug, though of course it won't be everyone's. Cymbalta made me crazy-cakes.

Pristiq may have to be next. I was having a hard time sleeping on the Cymbalta anyway.

I'm trying to decide if I want to try to plan something for my birthday this weekend. I know that, if I don't do something for my birthday, then I'll sit at home feeling all pathetic. But I've been in a whole lot of pain lately, and I don't want to plan something and then have to back out because I'm hurting too much.

Steph, I've been itchy and sleepless on Cymbalta too, but it's getting better, so I think my body's adjusting. Unless it's just intolerable, I say give it another week and see what happens. I hope it settles down!

I took my dose this morning, and I'm going to keep an eye on the itchiness.

In meds doing what they are supposed to be doing news - my increased Lyrica is finally cutting off the nerve pain in my face. It isn't completely gone, but it isn't debilitating any more.

I'm going to miss most of a results watching party because Kelly's bf asked if I would pick him up from work, take him to get is CO DL, and then take him to the polls. Poor dude has been trying to get his CO DL for weeks, but every time he has gone, they want a piece of paperwork he didn't bring. He doesn't have a car right now and his work schedule doesn't allow many opportunities to go but he REALLY wants to vote - so sure, I'll play chauffeur.
