All's Well

Just an update. Went to my doctor today. There's absolutely nothing really wrong with me. Just a couple of fibroids. That lump seems to be just a blocked duct or something--altho he admittedly seemed a bit perplexed by it and by my pain.

So that's good.

Started taking Effexor today. We'll see how it goes. I've been down lately. Wake up feeling depressed and blue and have a difficult time shaking it, so Effexor it is.

I have an appointment with Headshrinker on Wednesday. I'm going to make it my last one for a while. I've been wanting to stop, but instead of her weaning me off, she has increased my visits to once weekly. The problem is now I feel like I'm covering old ground. Like, really old ground, and I just don't want to go over it all over again. I'm sure it might be beneficial, etc., but I feel like I've dealt with it sufficiently for now. Besides, I can't afford $440/month right now; I have other expenses.

Anyhow, that's about it right now. I'm very busy with my speech class. It's a semester-length class done in 6 weeks with a serious pile of work to do, so I probably won't be posting much over the next few weeks.

Talk to ya later.

Thanks for the update...I was wondering. Fibroids are nothing to mess with-that was what caused all my problems. Evidently for YEARS, but I had no pain (according to my Gyno Doc the pain should have been unbearable based on the number & size of the fibroids) just felt bad, but didn't know I felt bad til I was recovering from surgery & woke up ine morning feeling really good. I had never felt physically that good in my life.
I took Effexor for a couple of years. Much better than the Lexapro I started with. Effexor did the trick for righting the imbalance. I have been med free for almost a year now. No depression, no mood swings, no rages, nothing. Just feel good. I pray the same for you dear girl.

Enjoy your class. Look forward to your next post...whenever it appears.


Blessed be...
