Hi guys. Today I made it through work even though I couldn't use my arm by the end of it. But I did it. I also made steps to getting me out of this depressive funk ive been in by actually making plans and talking about how I'm actually feeling. So although I wont sleep tonight, I'm feeling quite good!

Thankyou. It wasnt until last Sunday that I finally admitted I'm not coping and since talking to family I realised I might be depressed. So I went out today with a friend for some retail therapy and I've made plans to go walking next week and I'm hoping that helps as I've been avoiding leaving the house at all x

Hi V, lovely to hear you've been able to get on top of what is a very difficult situation... Espesh important to talk about it otherwise it all gets bottled up and tends to erupt at the worst times... Hope you did manage to get some shut eye last night coz it's hard to see straight on low sleep..

In the end I was amazed at how much clearer my thinking became on a six month dose of duloxetine - it didn't change the pain but it felt like so what! I had a break from myself which I really needed. I had become a rat in a cage...

In pain just like in normal life each day there are ups and downs ... Hope today is an up day too.. Best wishes,

😜👍🏼🍀🍀🍀🍀
