Susy, Mercedes, Zinya, Kimberly and Everyone,
I want you all to know that I have posted recently two empty emails and somehow screwed up in sending. It took me a while to post and Zinya gave me a hint to write it out first and save as I go then if something goes wrong I can just cut and paste and resend.The Email was just a sappy I love you guys kind of email, thanking you all for your love, help, understanding & support.
Nobody in my life seems to understand what I'm going through and I understand all of you, so completely and I know you understand me.
Writing is becoming harder for me because of the carpal tunnel I am having (I see the surgeon Thursday afternoon and he will let me know if and when I'm going to have surgery on my hands)and...everything I do these days is so slow and the energy level is down to almost nothing. I do read all the posts and most of the times it brings me to tears, but I have been working more lately and I must save my hands for typing and the numerous dictations by shorthand at work I have been doing.
I am taking nothing right now but an occasional Xanax (.25 mg) and those are more precious to me than Gold. I will try AGAIN to speak to my Doctor (with Susy's help - the article on Xanax was AWESOME) - I am hoping he will see things my way and give me a prescription. Funny, all I would need is .25 mg whenever I'm having problems. On the days I take the .25 mgs twice a day - my eye tick goes away.
I have had a severe eye tick for over a year and when I was on Zoloft (for only 4 days) - my eye tick went away. Then I started the Effexor XR (for only 6 days) - now my eye tick is back. The only time it goes away for more than 8 hours is when I take the Xanax.
To all of you, thank you so much for your support - I know I'm not taking any of the meds and I'm on the Effexor posts - but you all mean so much to me - and I'm sorry I don't write with support as much as I used to.
Please take care of each other, and as soon as I am able I will be posting more.
As always, my heart, my prayers and my good thoughts go out to everyone on here.
With Love & Hugs,
Cher
