flies quickly

 

 

Right you are, Gail!  And the older one gets the faster it flies!

[gail]

Quickly happened

Hard to believe, but so true.

I do my groceries every Thursday, and I always feel that last Thursday was like 2 days ago.

And FH, a floater appeared in my right eye today, thank God that I got used to the one in the left eye. No panic, it quickly happened while I was walking up the stairs. Thought I had like a spider in my eye. I will get used to it.

[TryinginFL]

happened overnight

 

 

I had floaters when I was in withdrawal  -  how long have you had  the one in your left eye, Gail?

[gail]

Overnight ???

Don't remember the exact time, about two years or so.

You mean that they vanished? Mine stayed and I got used to it.
Will look in my calendar and see. Will be back!

[gail]

January 2013, before cymbalta. Or any drugs.

[TryinginFL]

Don't know where we are on the words, but I started with the floaters about 3-5 weeks into the withdrawal.  I also had very sore, dry eyes.  They did go away and my eyes became normal again.

 

I knew someone who had floaters for years and she wasn't on any drugs either.  She said too that you just get used to them.

overnight cure

 

Floaters can be caused buy many things like direct view of the sun, a welders torch, vitrous detachment etc. The important thing is to watch for any following sudden changes like someone dropping a curtain across certain parts of your vision. This could be due to severe retinal or vitreous detachment. This needs to be addressed immediately before it is no longer repairable. A trip to the ER if necessary.

[TryinginFL]

cure needed

 

 

Learned some more - thanks, FH!

 

Everyone remember the Blood Moon tonite!

[gail]

Needed rest,

Just checked the moon. It seems closer, but other than that,normal for the moment. Going to bed, will miss the "blood".

It is vitreous detachment, had all the tests in 2013. This one has the same pattern, I am not anxious about it. Vitreous detachment can go away by its own but sometimes not. We get used to it.

No curtain here, just a fly going back and forth. I will keep a check on that "fly". Thanks FH.

[TryinginFL]

rest easy

 

 

Not another Blood Moon for 30 years!  I remember seeing the last one when I was still working.  When I was driving home, it looked as though the moon was sitting at the end of the road and it was ENORMOUS!

[gail]

Easy rider

Last peek before going to bed. Gotta go down 2 floors, will report again shortly. Next one in 2033, made a mistake about the dates.

[TryinginFL]

rider won

 

 

Hope you got my PM, Gail - am all confused with technology tonite - best I stick to the Cubs' game!

[gail]

Won nothing

Looking everywhere, no pm. No red moon yet. Pm, where are you?

Stick with the cubs for tonite, relax and looking forward for that pm manana. Can't see the bloody moon, and I am more than ready for bed.

[TryinginFL]

nothing yet?

 

 

Hopefully it got there by now - added you in

[Sleepyhead]

Spilled milk

[TryinginFL]

I think the word is yet...  Sleepyhead - we take the second word and add a word  Please come play with us!

 

Yet again

 

 

I have trouble believing that yet again

[brzghoff]

again disappointed

 

no blood moon here either. there were three super moons this year - and all three were blocked by clouds where i live. i hope i'll be around for the the next super moon that coincides with an eclipse (blood moon) in 2033. if i am, i'm, gonna head for california where it never rains! 

[TryinginFL]

disappointed too

 

 

I did see some of the eclipse but no "Blood" as it was cloudy here as well.  I was disappointed too as I can't count on being around in 2033!

[gail]

Too late

It was too late for me, it started around midnight.
Just saw a full white moon.

[TryinginFL]

late again

 

 

He was late again - never could get anywhere on time.

[gail]

Again, please

It was so relaxing that kept saying "Again, please"

[TryinginFL]

please don't

 

 

Please don't stop...

[gail]

Don't forget

Please don't forget me, please!

Funny, tears are swelling up as I say this...sensitive me.

Good night and thanks for being there.

[TryinginFL]

forget? never!

 

 

I understand Gail - I cry whenever I hear the song I sent you yesterday.

 

You are not alone in your sensitivity

[fishinghat]

never alone

 

Boy do I understand the sensitivity issue.

[TryinginFL]

alone (no) more

 

 

Buenos Dias!

 

Does anyone else feel that this sensitivity is the result of coming off Cymbalta?  I have never been like this before - I even cry after communion

[gail]

More(or)less

For myself, it is not connected to cymbalta.
I like that you cry after communion.

It is part of myself. It can be cyclic also. I feel sadness often related to others. I don't cry that much though. But it is good when it happens.

[fishinghat]

less (is) more

 

In my case I feel that Cymbalta has contributed to the increase sensitivity. No way to know for sure.

[TryinginFL]

more tears

 

 

I agree, FH...

 

 

I never cried after communion before and I also cry during certain hymns

 

I still tear up whenever I speak of my daughter and it's been over 6 years!

[fishinghat]

tears come

 

I know what you mean. I can't deal with music, many tv shows, emotional conversations, etc as they just are overwhelming.
