First I just wanted to ask about Cymbalta. I'm not sure if I'm spelling that right or not...but I think you should be able to tell what I'm trying to spell. I went to the doctor on Friday. She wants to wait for the results from the GI specialist before she tries anything else for me, that way she can know if there is any damage to my esophogas from acid reflex and what other issues I might be having. After we get that sorted through eventually I will go to the rheumotologist to see about the loss of feeling and issues with my wrists. In the meantime she has finally decided to put me on some stronger meds that are actually for fibro/rsd kinds of pain. The one she is wanting me to try is called Cymbalta. At first my mom wanted to see about Lyrica but I told her people on here had a bad time with it and my doctor said that most people haven't been able to handle it. She said Cymbalta is a better choice for me she thinks. So I wanted to know a bit more about it...bad or good experiences with it, or major side affects I should consider before my mom consents to letting me take it. I go to the GI specialist tomorrow. I have many tests to get done so my mom thinks they'll probably put me under just so I'm not uncomfortable. So this is at least a step in the right direction for me. I feel absurd right now because I'm getting ready to go take my senior pictures...and let me tell you I'm not one to wear mascara and eyeliner very often. I have very very long eyelashes naturally, so put mascara on the and I'm telling you they seem so ridiculously long it isn't even funny. Also I stubbed my toe on the door in the bathroom...broke my nail clean off. So it feels awful. And my eyes are watering....which makes it hard to not rub my eyes but again...can't mess up the make up. On tuesday I think I'm getting some award at school. We are having the academic assembly, and my teacher told me to make sure I'm there and that I sit near the stage...and they called my parents to see if they can be there. So I'm anxious to see what's going on. I'll let you know as soon as I know anything. I have a terrible headache today. And I'm sleep deprived. I'm also emotionally drained. I can't tell you what happened, but I had a very terrible experience this weekend and my dad said things to me that no parent should ever say to a child. So yeah...I spent the last three days at peoples houses cuz I didn't feel like being home....and this is my first day at home since things happened. I'm tired and just blah...I want to sleep. For all those mothers out there...happy Mothers Day!!!!!!!!
