"Fibromyalgia" (taurus1982)

MDJunction to me

"I have been struggling with Fibromyalgia, Bipolar, Anxiety, Post traumatic Syndrome for quite some time and pretty much going it alone. I stumbled across MDJunction by accident. I stayed in the shadows and just watched for four days and then I joined, feeling relieved and excited to have found a safe place with alot of folks that I could relate to . It's proove to be medically and emotionally
helpful to me and now I can't go a day without coming in at least 4 or five times a day! I Love my family here.

 Last week I was emotional, depressed, and really needing my hubby. Since yesterday I have been not really wanting him around and emotionally numb. What in the world? These mood swings are nuts. I think it's because I had an emotional experience last week and felt like he wasn't there for me, now this week I want to ignore him. How is everyone else's moods doing? Good, bad, sad, happy? Oh also I have been completely unmotivated to exercise. I bought a SHAPE magazine and lazily thumbed through it and looked at the exercise but could not get my tired self up to do something! Ugh

Sometimes it's hard to walk, talk, or even know what tomorrow brings. But as long as I have a smile on my face I can give a little bit of sunshine!

 I completely empathize! I have felt that way also especially lately. I don't know what it is that's causing it but I do know that it's driving everyone in my household crazy. The boys get snapped at while I go between loving Russ to death to just wanting him to get away from me. It's nuts! I'm on Wellbutrin to help with my mood swings. I don't know that it's helping but you can ask your doc about trying something for your moods. I really hope it gets better for you. Take care!

 I have to say, Cori and hcook3, that I am having a wonderful week after about a month of what each of you are describing. I am sorry someone else has to go thru it....it definitely was not a fun time for me.

On a happier note (and I know this is not what either of you want to hear) but I am having a wonderful last 10 days or so.

hcook, I tried the generic version of Wellbutrin several months ago and saw no difference whatsoever. When I told my Rheumy exactly that he said ""then stop taking it"" . I did and notice no difference one way or the other.

Are either of you taking any dosage of Lyrica? I ask because my PCP changed the time of day that I take mine and I am attributing that to feeling so much better.

I wish you both peace and pain-free days ahead ....

 I was on Cymbalta for 2 weeks but cannot afford it now. I take viocodin or Ultram for pain and Impremamine at night time to get the sleepies. I had an emotional week last week but now am just kind of numb. I don't want to be around my hubby at all, he's annoying me. I think it stems from having something extremely emotional happen and then he wasn't there for me and did not have the reaction I anticipated. So I am feeling very detached from him. I am trying to figure out whether it is the situation we went through or some sort of mood swings on my part. I know it will get better soon, thanks for all of your support.

 Cori,

I'm sorry to hear that you had an emotional week last week. I know for me, it never helps how I feel toward others around me if I don't think they were supportive during the emotional time. It makes me feel like if I can't count on them when I feel like it's important, then maybe I am counting on them too much. Keep in mind, those are the thoughts I go thru at times.

Lately though, I have been feeling like I have been in a "funk" and can't figure out why. Part of it is the weather but I know there's more to it. Usually when I get moody it's because I have a need of my own that hasn't been met. How about you? Have you taken time for yourself lately? Read a good book, gone to a chick flick, laughed, etc?

Keep your chin up...we are here to support you no matter what your mood is.

Sending you *soft hugs* of support.
