OMG, Not Again I woke up today again, having the same issues as I had last week. It was worse, however, so off to the ER I went. They really don’t have a clue, so they started to treat it as a major infection (IV, Push the fluids, and Antibiotics). The blood test came back… Continue reading OMG, Not Again

Welcome to the Average Joe Weekly blog. This is basically my place on the web where I can help spread some of the knowledge that I have accumulated over the years. I served 10+ years in the Marine Corps on Active Duty, but that was some 25 years ago.
Missed A Dose
Missed a Dose I’m on my last week of 20 MG and I missed a freaking dose. I totally forgot to take Saturday’s dose. The directions say to not double up, so I have to skip it. Ugh. So I have 4 days remaining of Cymbalta, so I’m stopping it entirely. Not sure if that… Continue reading Missed A Dose
Feeling Like a Person Again

A Rough Couple Of Days
A Rough Couple of Days I woke up at 5:40 for work like I do every day, I had been sleeping downstairs due to the excessive sweating that I had been expecting from the Cymbalta withdrawals. I was a little unsteady and cold, but nothing terrible. I got into the shower and wow, it hit… Continue reading A Rough Couple Of Days
Wow, I’m a Mess
Wow, I’m a Mess Three days of feeling like this, ugh, I’m so over this. Never again, I learned my lesson with Cymbalta, don’t mix it with anything.

When I got up, I was freezing cold, I mean uncontrollably shivering. I took a super hot long shower and still couldn’t get warm. After 20 minutes I… Continue reading OMG, What Was All That?
Conversion disorder
Conversion Disorder In the ‘My Story’ page, I briefly talked about being told I had Conversion Disorder, based on the fact that I had a minor car accident a few months before, more like a fender bender or in my case, a non-fender bender as I was driving a Saturn at the time so it… Continue reading Conversion disorder
Cymbalta – 20mg – day 3
Cymbalta – 20Mg – Day 3 I’m officially at 20mg and the only real withdrawal I have experienced is the damn teeth clenching again and some very minor sweating. I can’t sleep lately, but not so sure that is 100% Cymbalta’s fault. We shall see, wish me luck.
Laughter is the best medicine – Part 5
Laughter is the Best Medicine – Part 5 Rounding out my list would be classic Steve Martin and Rodney Dangerfield. I remember listening to my brother’s records of Steve Martin’s “Let’s Get Small” and “A Wild and Crazy Guy”. Some of those are still my favorite Steve Martin skits. I remember listening to Rodney Dangerfield’s… Continue reading Laughter is the best medicine – Part 5
Cymbalta 40mg – week four
Cymbalta 40Mg – Week Four I’m on my fourth and final week of the 40mg stepdown of Cymbalta. I’m scheduled to start tonight, but I’m going to move it to the weekend in the event that I have any bad withdrawals it won’t affect my day job.
