Good Morning all. Well, the AD med the doctor gave me was Cymbalta (May not have spelled that right). Anyway, I have been sick at my stomach ever since I started taking it Friday. I sure hate it too, b/c that stuff is expensive! Besides, I was hoping it was what I needed, but I don't think I'm going to be able to tollerate it. I kept trying it through last night and I just couldn't handle it, so I am going to back off and maybe try again later just in case it was something else, but it felt like when my ulcer is irritated, so I'm sure it was the medicine. I haven't taken anything else to cause that to happen. I read that that is one of the side effects in some people and may last a few weeks....well, I can't handle it for a few weeks b/c it is more than "slight" for me. I can't take asprin due to the same thing and that is how it kind of felt like to my stomach.

Anyway, hope everyone had a good weekend. I tried to make the most of things, such as it was. My H has not been feeling well lately either, but we got along good and there was little "touches of affection" between us....so that is a good sign.

I had to miss work....still having after effects with my stomach, but hopefully I'll be okay by tomorrow.


It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
