A year, one day at a time. Day 4

Yesterday I got in 2.23 miles in 37 minutes and did my 1'45" of running at 5 mph.  It feels good to be exercising again.  About 5 or so weeks ago Dr. Call put me on Cymbalta for pain relief.  The first week I couldn't tell much difference.  The second week I noticed the pain wasn't as bad and the 3rd week there was a remarkable difference.  I'm thinking how great this is when I start to notice that when I urinate there is not much flow.  It becoming obvious that something is wrong when I am constantly going to the restroom and not producing much.  I am thinking Prostrate already when I start noticing other problems associated with the Prostrate happening.  I start wondering what has changed in my life to bring on these problems.  The only thing I can think of is the Cymbalta.  I check it out on the internet and sure enough the symptoms I have are listed there in the web site.  So I stop the med. and in one week the urine is flowing normal again.  After the second week everything else is back to normal.  Cymbalta was wonderful for the pain and made me feel almost human again but the side effects are not worth it.  I am back to IB 800 again.  Will see Dr. Call in a month and a half.  We will have another discussion on how to proceed with my treatment for the Arthritis.  As far a being out of shape and having some pain and way to much tiredness I think I am handling the exercise rather well.  Look out Marathons, here I come
