Cymbalta: Day Two

Took my second dose today. Still feel that foggy-headedness, and later on, the nausea presents itself. I'd say roughly 1-2 hours after taking it, the nausea kicks in.

I can't seem to locate my Zofran, which is possibly in my travel gear pain kit; so I've been sipping Coca Cola Zero to stave off the waves of unpleasantness. So far, I haven't heaved at work. SCORE.

Observations thus far:

1. It's curbed my interest in food. I don't know if I'm truly not hungry or if the nausea makes me indifferent to food or what, but I'm just "meh" about food right about now. 

2. I was starting to nod off a wee bit in front of the tube last night, so I got up around 11 to turn the lights out and head to bed. Before bed, I did manage to pop a melatonin (3 mg.) though I don't know if I should do that given the Cymbalta. I'll have to get a ruling on that. I just wanted to ensure I went to bed and stayed asleep. Which I did. And given the husband is away on business and not here to be my human alarm clock, when the alarm went off, I woke up, hit snooze, woke up and hit snooze, and woke up finally with no problem or any additional grogginess. 

3. While walking out to the car, and looking at all the snow that abounds, and I have been miserably depressed being indoors (I think I'm finally suffering from SAD from all this indoor nonsense), I actually said to myself, "Well, I guess this beats the alternative" (with the "alternative" I suppose being death).

I did have a chiropractic adjustment last night, and ate pretty light when I got home (I had crackers and cheese while I waited for my steak to cook, and once it was done cooking, I was indifferent to it). I slept pretty good. I think. Though without the husband here I have no knowledge if I woke up, if so, how many times, or if I had a night terror.

My adenomyosis pain is pretty sharp. Onset day was yesterday, and everything from my navel to my knees was nothing but a bundle of angry nerves. Can't tell if the Cymbalta is helping that at all. But the anxiety and anger and hostility seems a bit diminished today. Though, how much diminished? I don't know. I feel like the edge is blunted. Somewhat.

The chiro knows about the nonsense going on in Jersey with my family, and especially the negativity and the expectation that somehow I should be there more, despite the obviousness of snow storm after snow storm, and now with my assorted pain issues. Even the chiropractor said it's actually not helping my own pain issues. Again, obvious. But nice to get validation from someone else that insulating myself as much as I can from what I can is the only response I have at this point.
