LOL. The transition of seasons is always so difficult for me each year. I hate Septembers. I always go into the worst flares that time of year. Spring gets bad, but not as bad as September.

So great that you've come such a long way in a year! But I do have some questions for you. 1) What is FMLA leave? 2) What is wrong with Cymbalta - what was your experience? (It doesn't sound good.) I've heard Cymbalta might be good for Fibro people. I had a bad experience with Lyrica and am on the hunt for something other than Elavil which I use minimally now for pain and sleep. Nothing seems to help or work. I have a new doc I'm seeing next Thurs and want to talk to her about switching pain meds. So hearing your input about Cymbalta would really help me. Thanks!

I can tell that even if all of your brain isn't there, your spirit & heart is. =) Isn't it amazing what a little reflection can do to cultivate thanksgiving? "Here's to calming smells, comfy clothes, and a cuddly husband." Amen, sister! Where's my cuddly husband...? ... Ah! There! G'night! Glad you’re back K8!

“Here’s to calming smells, comfy clothes, and a cuddly husband.”
