Thank you both for the encouragement.
I have felt better today than I expected to. I actually went grocery shopping something I have put off for days.
I had to take some Excedrin for a slight backache (gardening yesterday)and it has 120 mg caffeine in it. I was worried that it might cause a problem. None at all-if anything it perked me up a bit but then caffeine usually does for me.
Greywolf, good to here about the stimulating factor. Everything tends to make me fatigued or lazy too and I HATE that.
I quite smoking 2 weeks ago (I can't believe I am saying that) and stopped stims yesterday so I am not expecting to feel great. I will settle for awake and alive right now.
I have used stimulants for 10 solid years and had smoked for over 20 just to give some perspective.
I got sick with a virus (parvo b19) in 2001 and was practically bedridden for over a year with a slow climb out of post-viral fatigue syndrom (CFS) ever since. I feel like taking Lyrica from Feb 2006-Jan 2007 is what helped me to really turn the corner in regards to my health. My fatigue has vastly improved over the last year. I was beginning to lose hope that it ever would.
I really do have a good feeling about Emsam.
Peace,
Kaye
