WITHDRAWAL BLUES

I am on day 20 of withdrawal from an awful prescription drug, CYMBALTA.  I've done it before, so I know I will be okay, but this really is not fun.  Aside from feeling very poorly, my mood swings are pretty severe; crying at any little thing, agitated, and anxious.  Thank goodness I don't have to be socializing right now.  No one would want to be near me.

Cymbalta was prescribed for the treatment of fibromyalgia to relieve the pain.  I have found the side effects of the drug to be worse than the pain.  So, the countdown continues.

I've been working on a spinning project for a friend who gave me a huge supply of alpaca fleeces in exchange for spinning her some yarn.

This is a cria (baby) fleece and it is the hardest fiber I have had to work with.  There are many breaks and shorts in it, but oh, the buttery feel of the finished yarn is to die for.  Exactly what we are looking for in an Alpaca yarn.  I can binge watch my favorite series on Hulu, such as JUSTIFIED, and still be productive.

Meanwhile, I have so many projects I want to work on.  The other day a guy told me I need a hobby.  I almost fell out of my chair from laughing.  I should have opened my garage door while he was here.

Tomorrow I have a consultation with a Thyroid/Hashimotos specialist and will hopefully get some help in all the other health issues I have been dealing with.  My fingers, toes, and eyes are crossed.
