They’ve been working on my neck. I did traction and light therapy today. Last time I did that and my headache went away for a couple days. It was great. It takes awhile to kick in, I’m looking forward to the relief.

my gp doc comes to my house to give it to me. My mum picks it up in the pharmacy and then gp doc comes to administer it. I’m glad it’s possible like that as i have a hard time going outside.

That’s very nice. I know what it’s like to have a hard time leaving the house. There are times when I’m sick that I just can’t hardly stand it. But my meds are really working right now and I can leave the house a little here and there for a few errands. But I get easily overwhelmed so I take it easy.

yea it’s hard going out… i get really paranoid then and get anxiety because of it. I go out once in a while with mobile team girl on a short walk where it’s quiet but even that is hard… but going by myself is not possible.

Before I started taking Cymbalta I was having the same problem. If I had to leave the house I was literally shaking. I was having panic attacks when I was out. It was no way to live. The Cymbalta really changes things for me.

when i go out together with somebody it’s much better these days… they worked a lot on it in last psych ward i was in… they tried to help me to go outside alone and it worked for a while but then later out of the psych ward i got worse again. But it’s ok… i can have a walk once in while together with mobile team girl or my dad and besides that i stay in the house.

It’s really good that you go walking. It’s nice of them to take you.

yea i’m really grateful that there is such a thing as the mobile team that helps people when you go out of the psych ward. It’s like you still get some help like in the psych ward but then outside of it.

That is great. We don’t really have anything like that. But my local mental health department will send someone to my house in extreme situations. They’ve come to my house to make me get out of bed in the past when I just couldn’t do it on my own.

oh that’s really nice too! It’s good that there are such services huh. I’m also glad that i see my gp doc every 2 weeks for the jab… that way when something goes bad she can help me a bit.

That’s really excellent. I get a ride to go pick up my meds once a week from mental health and to do a quick check in. If I’m sick they will bring my meds to me. It’s very nice to have my meds managed.

oh that is really nice… i’m lucky that my mum picks up my meds from the pharmacy. And pdoc sends the prescription papers to the pharmacy directly and the pharmacy keeps an eye on it if i still have enough prescription papers.
Good to hear that they bring your meds to you if you not able to go get them =)

That’s really good. All in all it sounds like we are lucky and we get good services. It would be hard if we didn’t have help to manage our illness
