Thanks, Phillipa, glad to be back. Pretty much just on the couch. I had an injury 2 months ago - tripped on concrete while jogging with my brother's 2 dogs and got pretty badly beat up with some disc injuries. As if that weren't enough I'm having some 'womany' problems with too high estrogen. I swear, it amazes me how ob/gyns give everyone the same cookie cutter hormone regimen without testing hormone levels. I know saliva tests work but my doc isn't even allowed to order them or prescribe based on patients ordering their own tests! It doesn't help to get natural hormones if the levels are wrong. So I end up with endometrial hyperplasia - just what I need, a nice little pre-cancerous condition.
So yeah, I've been physically hurting, hormonally wacked and figured it's no wonder I was feeling depressed and whining and maybe I needed to tweak the Cymbalta. So increased it to a whole 30 mg capsule and couldn't figure out why I wasn't feeling better, in fact feeling worse, like a slug, no motivation, no interest. Reading about other's experiences with Cymbalta and lethargy makes me feel better cause maybe there's a reason I'm feeling like a big inert lump of bitchiness.
How are things with you? Are you still on Cymbalta? I should remember but my brain has been Cymbotomized. - Barbara
