Mission Accomplished
I'm back from the appointment with the psychiatrist. Phew. I'm glad that's finally over and done with, especially since I had so much trouble sleeping last night that I'm amazed I even made it out of bed.
He seemed nice, but mostly recommended that I see a pain specialist and find a therapist before we get on with the diagnosing business. He also told me that fibromyalgia is apparently no longer officially recognised as a condition. Uh. Well, I don't really care anymore; it has never been more than a name for a bundle of symptoms anyway. If they want to call that something else now or treat each symptom individually, so be it. Whatever.
I was prescribed Cymbalta, which could be great news. I know it's done wonders for many people with chronic pain. However, it's still an antidepressant and that means I remain skeptical. I wouldn't be particularly surprised if I ended up with really strange side effects again.
If I start to ramble nonsense two weeks from now, NO WORRIES: IT'S THE DRUGS. -.-
