Hey there Donna...

read your post about Cymbalta seeming to lose effectiveness and running OUT OF NEURONTIN generic

i hope you had enough to taper somewhat and did not suddenly run out... as you could risk seizures... well, you probably know that.

Anyway I am sorry the Dr.s are not being prompt.
I really hope you have had a callback and med refill by now...
and are more comfortable again!

Thanks Waves

I see the pain doctor on Tuesday and will get my refills.

i am not sure why this office seems to not get the calls. But I did taper
down. And I do now to be careful with the meds.

I FINALLY got some sleep today... it only took 5 days of no sleep.

My mom said she tried to wake me three different times and I never moved.

I think I slept about 2 hours...

For the past few days I've been extremely angry and I have no reason to be angry... Anything anyone says or does fuels my anger fire.... sometime's it happens for no reason at all.

I think that it's because you have had to wait,and wait,and then wait some more. Then you had to wait again,which may cause some more waiting. That can get on anyone's nerves.

I have felt enraged myself,after so many difficult things,and complicated,in my life. Hang in there. BF

Dear Abbie,

Gosh... did mom try to wake you to take meds?

If not for that, might i suggest... that you suggest... to your mom or anyone else...

that if you have had no sleep in FIVE DAYS and are finally asleep...

that she NOT try to wake you, no matter what time of day it is?

i mean.... !!!

i understand she was unsuccessful (thankfully), but it seems counterproductive to interfere with ANY sleep you manage to get, considering the difficulty you are having sleeping. no?

as for the anger... well 5 days no sleep is manicky and you have been mixed so you can easily end up dysphoric, angry, or irritable... but... since you've got plenty "real situation" also to be angry and frustrated about like BF was saying.... add the two together and it surely follows that you have a short fuse or sometimes none at all. try to remember that it is a phase and it will not always be like this. you can get through.

i'm sorry you are going through this though. i know how it feels to have that short fuse... i have difficulty with high anger situations... try to avoid... it always upsets me afterwards or even during. but again, thank goodness, anger is not permanent.

((( hugs )))

That happens all the time to me.........

Take care Abbie.

Dear Abbie,
I hope that you are going to be ok.


Dear Majo,
I'm sorry that you have difficult times.

I'm holding on... the best that I can...

Right now I am very angry but have a reason to be....

My mom is a seamstress and a VERY talented one at that!!! She has worked for a very exclusive Bridal and Fine Formal place for over 8 years... she's has called in sick twice...and those are times we had to hog tie her.

Today she went into work and the store owner degraded her to no end over a disagreement with another employ who has been there about a year. The disagreement wtih the other employ was the "manager" who does nothing and trys to tell my mom how to do alterations... My mom has been sewing since she was about 6.... I think she knows what she is doing. (She made all of my older sister's and my dresses for dances...she even made my sister's wedding dress as well as ALL of the bridesmaids dresses.)

My mom does NOT have to work!!
My mom had enough of the degrading---boss was calling her a kindergardener, a cry baby, etc... My mom is 65. My mom told the boss she was leaving... clocked out and left. My mom walked home.

A short while after her coming back home...she had me take her back up to where she works... She proceeded to pick up everything that was hers.

Mom said the boss was really upset.... and wanted to talk to her... my mom said she told the boss to call her...she wasn't going to sit there and wait.

I think they both need time to calm down.

Since I am in ANGER mode... my mom told me to NOT get out of the car... if I had, I'm sure it would not have been a pretty sight. I was loaded both barrels and ready to fire.

Thank you for letting me vent....
My anger continues to grow.


Abbie

I understand completely. I've been harassed at work in front of everyone when I didn't deserve it. One time after my Boss,and manager fussed at me in front of everyone I quit,and went home,and they where surprised,and called me on the telephone,and said they need me. I forgot their words. I was angry to the boiling point. I went back,and the owner said she needs me. So I let what they did to me go. There's so much that a person can take,before these things really get to them. I've reached that point. BF

Sending some hugs. I'm personally glad that you stayed in the car.
And that your mom stood up for herself. Especially when she didn't
need the job. And in this day and time.

I'm also glad that you were there for her. Way to go. You did the
right thing. Its fine to be mad, especially when you can stay mad
at the right person.

Donna
