No brain zaps? That sounds very good. I hope the weepiness ends very soon. Could be starting tomorrow?
I like accupuncture, too, for general maintenance, but doesn't seem to help the pain-- :( Wish it did. I certainly gave it a good go. Hmmm. I could try it again in conjunction with whatever lies ahead.
I'm on xanax CR maintenance. Has some muscle relaxant effect. When my back is very tight, (like tonight) I take 2-4 mg of zanzflex, a muscle relaxant that seems pretty transparent, unlike flexeril.
I have never tried remeron; it was part of a friend's ticket to remission. She gained some weight, but felt good again, and I personally thought she looked just lovely,
and seeing her smile and laugh was great. I was given trazedone (sp?) once,
and that felt like being bludgeoned to sleep.Life is deeply ironic--there is no need to embroider, is there? Godspeed on your disability case. I suspect my ptsd is, in part, 'quickening' in reaction to my son's
growth. He's reaching an age which was the beginning of troubled times for myself.I'm trying to thinking of some other safe
therapy. Ahh. Cranial Sacral therapy,
though there is a still hand underneath
the sacral area. Maybe your chiropractic does this. I find it very effective. Also
another 'energy' technique called 'zero-balancing'. I've never had it done. I found a massage therapist I feel comfortable with. It was very brave of me to 'shop' for one, let alone have a massage. I did not want to be touched. Now, I still feel resistance to going which dissipates after arrival.The past few days have been tough--and today was a whopper. Uncontrollable
weeping. I didn't feel the edge till I fell. Luckily I was home alone. Frankly, I feel unable to have much say in how I'll feel on a day to day basis. Yes, it's real, isn't
it? In that I'm not faking? But I feel out of control, not of my actions, but of my capabilities. Argh. I want my pdoc! (He's been away for 3 weeks.) Oh well.You're on vacation...at home?
Hope that cymbalta kicks in fast!
MDD currently controlled. C-ptsd and comorbid health concerns. Chronic fatigue.
