Dizzy
I have been abnormally dizzy. I think this might be a withdrawal symptom of Cymbalta. To look around up and down , side to side with my eyes I have a overwhelming feeling of dizziness. It is like a ball of yarn that is dangled all up and fuzzy. I have a little bit of nausea with this feeling. Much ringing in the ears too. Right behind my eyes, through the sinus area. It is driving me nuts and making me not feel well. I am to have a fast blood draw one day this week. Need the doctor to have a baseline for my liver and cholesterol since I will begin a new drug in June that requires monitoring of liver and cholesterol. I am hoping this drug works for my RA. The cortisone shots in Mid-May have worked excellently. After six months of agony I finally got relief with cortisone shots into my knees. Now to start another drug I am just a little bit leary. Just because it could set off a horrid flare. My body doesn't seem to like most of any of the RA drugs available and this drug is close to the end of the list of biologics. Thinking that the old school way of treating my disease would be the best. not certain though. I really need to spend a lot more time writing about this disease and my thoughts regarding treatment. I have come a long way in the self help area of my disease though with experimenting with exercise which must be extremely mild as any extreme work out can set me into flaring. Foods can be a experiment of fun and sadness. Silly as it may seem you are never quite sure if your body might decide it doesn't like a particular food. I find my body seems to enjoy vegetables any type works for me and in raw form is the best. Beans, I really enjoy and can eat just plain cooked pintos without any fancy sauces etc. I find it is very easy to write about the foods and research foods as it is very difficult for me to explain the brain issues and coordination body issues. My heart hurts and lungs too, I have been told it is indigestion. Breathing is difficult in a resting state for several days lately and this happens off and on. But these issues seem only important to me. As if I reference these issues I get answers that nothing is really wrong. It seems though that maybe something might be, I get told it old age, indigestion, and muscle soreness. Does something drastic need to occur for answer to resolve these concerns. I suppose I should just keep myself aware and rest accordingly when I feel the need to. See my dizzy ness goes away if I completely focus straight ahead with the eyes, but if I move the eyes the weirdness of dizzy is lurking in my frontal lobe of my brain. See if I move the eyes to the right or left ringing occurs in my ears along with dizziness in my head. Closing for now crochet is calling
