07/04/12 A year, one day at a time. Day 24/Week 4

I haven't posted for a few day because the pain got out of hand.  I was having to many side affect on the Cymbalta (which I probably have already posted about) even though it was helping with the pain.  I don't feel like I am over doing it but maybe so.  I did a workout last Friday of 50 minute and got in 3.13 miles with a run of 4'15" @ 5mph.  Ended the week with 7.99 miles of run/walking.  I took 2 days off work to try and get my head straight, more than anything.  Happy Fourth of July to everyone.  The pain has been quite unbearable so I said what the hell and went for a Walk/Run today.  I did 3.72 miles with more running than I planned because of the biting flys.  I know now to wear insect repellent.  It's hard to move and rather painful but what are the consequences if I don't.  Not a happy scenario any way you look at it.  I found out that laying in bed doesn't cut it.  9 hours of bed time and you can't hardly move when you get up.  I called Dr. Call and he is trying me on a new med.  Savella which is mostly used for fybromyalga.  Lots of side affects again, so we will see.   Will keep looking until we find something that works
