Hello my friends. Today I am able to feel the change that has been created by including cymbalta with my former medication, effexor xr.  I am much calmer.  I've been out shopping a few times.  I am able to do some chores now.  I am grateful, positive, and of service again.  ...

    Hello Tinkerdel,

    So enjoyed reading your post this morning. The title captures your feeling of hope. Grace is  a lovely word; it has a calming, smiling effect, like drawing even, deep, slow breaths.

    Glad the Cymbalta is working for you.... I think you said before you had  long standing fibromyalgia type nerve/muscle pains.  That is such a horrible all pervasive condition,affecting mood and sleep as well as pains and spasms, yet 'hidden' so not understood/ denied by people. (we were never taught about it in med school but it definitely, very surely exists.

     Thank goodness newer drugs are coming on the scene. And better understanding.

    Best wishes

    Hi Tinker,

     

    Grace is the word that I, too, use most often in describing how I want to respond to my trials: with grace.

     

    A wise woman once told me something I take to heart, which mirrors what you just said:

    "It's never going to be perfect, and there's always going to be stuff."

     

    You are making your way, and I wish you some comfort and peace of mind.

     

    Have a good day.

     

    Cheers,
