Clearglass: I like the nickname crapalta too. I think I borrowed it from fishinghat or maybe it was Fiventotions or...LOL Lauging again!!

 

EQ woman I wanted to share the hot flash issue with you. I read here somewhere along the lines that it is ever so pronounced with the lack of the ssnri in our systems. I am sure mine are less and less every day...

 

TryinginFL I am positive your dtr-in law is going to make a FINE nurse!!!

My positives for today are....I came close to sleeping through the night....was able to get to sleep relatively easy, was wide awake for fewer hrs in the middle of the night, and woke up feeling great....and, I went to my yoga class today (had to miss last week because I felt so lousy) and noticed much improvement in my balance and coordination....also, my friend who's giving me her old bicycle emailed to tell me that she's taken it to a cycle shop to have them "tune it up" and will deliver it to me sometime next week....

Also, today makes three days in a row without the optic neuritis pain...

Just have to share this with all of you! I got an email today from my Catholic priest friend...he ended it with this blessing:

" May God heal you, and hence, give you the ability to generate serotonin...in Jesus' Name. +++"


Hehehehe

[TryinginFL]

FN....wonderful and exciting positives for you today!  You are so lucky to be getting that "tuned up" bike   It should bring you much happiness in the way of exercising...

 

And congratulations on your finally getting more restful sleep and WOW - the yoga class!!  So proud of you - you are sure doing some great stuff for yourself!

 

Hugs and prayers,

Liz

Very groggy today; between the crapalta withdrawal and the clonazepam in the morning.  I also heard from someone who's son took his own life.

I know these things are not positive, so I find a way to laugh. When worse comes to worse, I find a way to laugh, so I'm sharing 2 videos that make me laugh every time.

After a horrible morning I finally got my act together and feel human. But I am going to bed after I finish checking in with the ppl I have grown very attached to-- YOU! I imagine most of us have better evenings than mornings and afternoons...??

 

Goodnight, Peace.    Xman

Hi forum friends! I'm actually going to post on the positive thread! I read them most every day and rejoice with you. You are all such a great group of ppl and I'm ever so grateful for your friendship! We've finally had a few good weather days ! Yay! Yesterday, my hubby and I trimmed trees and hauled 4 truckloads of limbs away from my dad's .. We worked our tails off, but it was a great day. I was almost overcome by the amount of work to be done, but I pushed through and we "got 'er done"!!!! Ibuprofen and a hot shower, sweats and tv , to bed by 9pm.. slept great... up @ 6am and feeling good! Birthday party for my 4 year old granddaughter today is gonna be fun! Wishing all a great weekend!!!!! Hugs and prayers as always!!!! clara

[TryinginFL]

Just wanted to post my positives for today....

 

Went to church and cried again, but the sermon was as if taken directly from the movie Son of God - very moving.

 

I have been feeling good physically and after almost 8 weeks off this crap, I hope the bad days will be few

 

Good night and my thoughts and prayers are with you all,

Liz

[Carleeta]

Clara, TryinginFL, FiveNotions, Clearglass...Wonderful noticing the positives...Great to find something accompolished in a day when going through some strong felt cymbalta withdrawl symptoms. .So very happy to see and read these posts...yippeeee

[Carleeta]

The positive for today is the temperature actually reached 40 degrees..yippeee. .

In spite of the rain it was warm...Birds are chirping, although hiding somewhere because of our recent storm.. Although I can positively hear them...

It's been a positively busy day...Most paperwork is out of the way today..yippeee
Floors are washed, dinner made and dishes washed..

During this transition from winter to spring is such a change..The good part of this transition is the sun has been shinning regularly for about a month...Positively getting my Vitamin D...yippee.

It's positively more fun to go out and start the car with the temperatures getting up in the twenties and higher..yippee

I positively survived the Ides of March yesterday..yippeeee

[fishinghat]

Carleeta, I am join you with some positives. I look out side and there is 3 " of new snow. Positively ugly!!!  The wind just are 50 mph with a wind chill of -3F. Positively repulsive. And this winter has been positively disgusting!!! The only thing truly positive is I am curled up in front of my TV set and do NOT care what the weather is outside!!!

[Carleeta]

Fishinghat. .Wow three inches of snow and 50 mph winds..Ouch..we don't usually get winds that high in my area...

Yup..lol lol lol...you sit and enjoy you tv today. ..Relax, Relax, Relax..You deserve it..

Love Fishinghat ' s positive post...lol lol

[thismoment]

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful 
And since we've no place to go 
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

 

It doesn't show signs of stopping 
And I've bought some corn for popping 
The lights are turned way down low 
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! 

When we finally kiss goodnight 
How I'll hate going out in the storm 
But if you'll really hold me tight 
All the way home I'll be warm 

The fire is slowly dying 
And, my dear, we're still good-bying 
But as long as you love me so 
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

I love it when you wax poetic except.....that last line. lol

[TryinginFL]

OH, fishinghat....what horrible weather!!  Being from outside of Chicago, I can still feel it...

 

Enjoy your positive and stay warm and relaxed!

 

Liz

[TryinginFL]

Carleeta....happy for your positives!  So wonderful to see the sun

 

You seem to be really moving along there - washing floors???  And I'll bet that going out in the warmer weather to start your car is a real adventure

 

,

Hugs and prayers,

Liz  

[Carleeta]

TryinginFL. .lol lol...Yes I love going out in temperatures above 20 to start the car..lol lol. Best part will be when the temp reaches about 50 degrees I don't have to start it at all..lol lol

Yes washed the kitchen and bathroom floors today. .I usually do it daily, a light wash with the swifter wet jet. .lol lol lol...where I am at the present moment has more carpeting than floors...My previous home and my son's home was all natural hardwood flooring...Keeping those floors clean were a constant chore...Although I used the Bona system on those floors..lol lol lol

Whether it be carpeting or hardwood, it's positively a cleaning chore..lol lol lol

[Carleeta]

Now I positively know why today as been so off...Today is the full mooon
People have positively been acting very heightened today. .Then I saw it was the full moon starting at 6pm...

Well that explains the heightened activity of people who are out and ones who won't even come out..lol lol..

At least we positively know why today we are more 'off' than yesterday. .lol lol...

[FiveNotions]

My positives for the day...felt good enough to go visit my nursing home buddy....and to travel the hour both ways on public transportation...I know, it's a nutty amount of travel time rather than take a cab, but I actually enjoy it...find it very relaxing to people and scenery watch.... And, while there, my eyes felt good enough to be able to read to said friend for almost three hours straight....

But Holy Crapalta, what happened to our weather? I didn't check it before I left home...and I walked out of the nursing home into a snow storm... I was positively not dressed for it....

[TryinginFL]

FN...what a positive!  Making the long round trip via public transportation to read to your friend for 3 hours

 

Wonderful that you could take almost your whole day and give to someone you care for.  Sorry about the weather - saw it on the news and all I can say now is stay warm and relax!!

 

As always, hugs and prayers,

Liz

[Carleeta]

FiveNotions. .Oh goodness I did see how DC was getting hit bad with snow..It was on our weather channel. .It thought you knew..

Glad you arehome safe...stay warm..

[FiveNotions]

Nah, I'm typically clueless about practical things like what the weather is, what time it is, etc..... When friends get on me about it I just tell them "I like surprises" ......

[TryinginFL]

FN.....thanks!   I needed that
