Day 11

It's 12:27 pm and so far I am feeling much better than yesterday. Went to my chiropractor today to help relieve some back and neck pain. Then came home and felt like taking a nap but instead made myself get on the treadmill and walk. My goal was to walk for 10 minutes. I ended up walking for 25 minutes! Woohoo! The other day I went to see my Integrative Specialist. I was an emotional mess. She said I should try Lexapro for my anxiety and depression for a few weeks to elevate my mood. I tried it the other night and within an hour threw up my dinner. I was nauseated all of yesterday from it. No more Lexapro for me. I usually don't like taking meds and try to find natural ways to go about things, but I was so desperate to find something, anything that would help me feel better that I was willing to try it. WH didn't want me to try it and suggested that he take the next 2 weeks off from work so I could just let my body heal naturally and find some good supplements to help me out. Like I said I was desperate for help and thinking about suffering like I was for even one more day seemed like pure torture for me. But now after dealing with the nausea and vomiting from Lexapro, I am set again to go the natural route. It will be a longer journey back to health and feeling better, but I just gotta do it. Another positive thing I did today was read 4 chapters of my new James Patterson book. I LOVE reading and haven't even picked up a book or touched my Nook Color in about a month because I was feeling so miserable from the Percocet and Fibro pain and then the withdrawals. I also read a book to my little 4 yo. I haven't engaged in doing any activities with my kids for almost 2 weeks now. So reading her a little book felt great! Now since I have a little energy, I am going to get some laundry done! One day at a time, and count all the little positive things you do...they all add up!
