    I was not getting any sleep taking my sleeping pills so i stopped taking them for awhile to see if I will sleep better when I start back on them. I am only getting 3-4 hours of sleep with no sleeping pills. My left ankle is feeling terrible. Lots of pain!!! Dr.A says it is going to be OK but it will take some time!

    completed the PFRS survey for May 30, 2013 May 30, 2013

    I saw my psychiatrist a few weeks ago and we changed the times that I take some of my meds. I take 30mg of Cymbalta in the morning and take 60mg in the evening. I also take 300mg of Wellbutrin in the morning and another 200mg in mid-afternoon. I have felt a little less fatigued with this dosing schedule. I haven't been taking my sleeping meds for the last few weeks and I am waking up early (around 5am) and wanting to get up. That is a good thing! I am still not getting much done as my pain is severe.

    For some reason I have had this insane craving for Choclate chip cookie dough ice cream. I can eat half a carton in a day easy. It is terrible. I don't know what to do about curbing this craving. It really has a hold on me!!!

    Very bad

    added an InstantMe for May 26, 2013 May 26, 2013 10:42AM

    Nearly 3 months ago I slipped on a small patch of ice and twisted my ankle. Instead of my ankle feeling better it is feeling worse over time. I told Dr. Ambrosiac about the ankle and he said I pulled a tendon and it would heal. I think I need to have it x-rayed at my June 17th appointment.
    My back is hurting very badly. I have been doing some gardening and it must be too much for me. I love to have my hands in God's fresh earth. The other day the dirt was so warm to my touch. I think it is all the bending over and then lifting a few boxes that were too heavy didn't help either.
    I have been taking care of my MIL every day but I am doing this with a cheerful heart. I want to do my share and help out. It is not hard taking care of her but I cannot rest any time I want to. I feel obligated to stay out in the frontroom to help entertain her. She is a hard woman to like. She has a very disagreeable personality but she is 86 years old and there is no changing her.
    The weather is great and I have a smile on my face so things could be a lot worse!!!
