I can't take Advil, aspirin or drugs like that because I'm allergic to them, so it's Tylenol for when the pain is bad but since I'm not doing anything it's manageable.
Mood-wise I continue to be low.
My doctor replied about stopping my Lithium. She agrees but wants me to wait until I have the appointment at the mood disorders clinic - that could be months. I said I want to stop sooner than later; I'll see what she says.

My husband loves his Arnica gel (sometimes in cream). It really relieves his muscle pains. It also quickens the fading of bruises. I've tried it, too, and agree it works great. He's gotten other people hooked on it, too. It is available OTC in most pharmacies near the stinkier Ben Gay. Hubby buys it online where it's even cheaper. I usually rub it on his back and neck most mornings. He likes that service.
I'm not on any sales team. Just an Arnica consumer that is happy with results.
If you have allergy tendencies, be sure to talk to your pharmacist about any pain relief creams/gels.
