Part of this is just you not having adjusted to your limitations yet. Long term you'll need to plan on getting cleaning help if your significant other is unable. the cost of meds and co-pays will be more causing a flare, than getting someone in to help you for an hour or two.

In the future, the time to do your floors is after you get the new meds, not before. And if you INSIST it has to be done, do a section of the floor, rest, come back and do another section, repeat...

While venting is fine, you shouldn't be getting to this state. There are many ways to reduce pain that don't include narcotics which have been discussed previously.

You will not necessarily react to Cymbalta the way you did to Lyrica. I certainly didn't.

If you can't manage the care of your daughter right now, perhaps you can ask a friend or family member to watch her for you. I used to use my son's school day to nap and rest. When I needed help, my family stepped up. Sometimes just for a few hours, sometimes for a weekend. I even gave custody to my ex for a short period. You're not doing her or yourself any favors by getting overwhelmed.

Good luck.
