maybe if it is some kind of infection there will be a way to get rid of the problems. I'm not hopeful though. But - I did start therapy today - hurrah!!! I'm quite pleased with myself! I want to get back to vlogging now that I have something positive going on. You do a great job of explaining things and I certainly relate!

You sound like me the way you describe the depression and the chronic pain and fatigue etc. I was on Cymbalta for 6 months in 07 and I don't think it helped me at all. I did notice that when I came off my psych meds in Feb last year my feelings came back so I guess I had that numbing thing going on. Now I cry easily and every day is a struggle but I don't think psych meds are the answer. Actually I'm looking into Lyme disease as a cause for my physical and psych problems. That's scary! But...

OMG Shannon the same thing happened to me after I had Makenna. I would start crying if someone even looked at me. I thought I was losing my mind. ((HUGS))

One more thing...you don't have to apologize for the video being long. Actually, I like long vids if the subject is interesting or pertains to my problems. Thx for making this vid. I'm a little shy in front of the cam. I've only made 3 vlogs. I need to get back into it.

I totally get what you're saying. I've suffered with depression since 1990 and have been on many meds. They tried to put me on Cymbalta last month but I broke out in a sunburn rash all over my body. I was just starting to feel better when I lost my Dad in Oct. Emotional pain = physical pain. I also have fibro and severe arthrtis (3 kinds), back probs, etc. I'm in chronic pain and on stromg pain meds but been on them 4 yrs. and I've become used to them. Depression really sucks! Hugs...

My hubby was on 60 mg of cymbalta but they went up to 20 more mg and he said it was like turned on the lights. Just wanted you to know.

Always
