I didn't know how to title my thread; I'm kind of spacy from Naproxen (like RX Alleve) that I just started taking yesterday. I called the dr. who prescribed it but just took another. My H said he'd drive me to my session if he has to.

I feel so depressed about everything going on, but now I'm spacy and tired on top of it. My daughter and family have to deal with the major flooding; it's unbelievable! I have to deal with grieving for that, for my Mom, for my T not being my Mom, for getting older, for the dr. telling me not to do yoga or Curves. I am struggling with all of this, and not sure I'll be able to do the EMDR today.

One more thing about my T. I know we have the rule that she'll answer only 1 email per week, but when I emailed her about my d. having 4 feet of water in their family room, I really thought she'd write something back, just a short expression of her caring. I KNOW she cares. I feel hurt about that, but will tell her in the session. I bet it was hard for her NOT to answer me. I sent 2 emails about it, so I know she must have gotten at least one.

I'm going to try to go to sleep but I'll be on to check messages too. Maybe hugs will help. I don't know. I just feel drained and hopeless though I should be glad my family is safe and we're all healthy.

Yuck, I took Naproxen about 2 years ago for my hand (repetitive motion injury from work). I didn't like it at all and found the occasional ibuprofen to alleviate most of the pain. Made me feel really nauseous. Good luck with tonight, I hope you will be OK at your visit!
Thanks for this!

Thanks, WOWY. I'm not even in much pain at all. It's just that I had this pain for 6 months and my yoga teacher wouldn't let me come back until i saw a dr. So, it's a muscle problem and the dr. suggested 14 days of Naproxen, along with an antiacid med to counteract the effects of the Naproxen. It's not "as needed"; I guess it's to act as an anti-inflammatory. I never took anything for the pain, but it's still there, annoying me like when I tried cleaning the bathtub yesterday, or tired exercising again.

I need my session tonight!!! So badly!!!

Hope you can feel some kind of control over what is going on - it's just plain yucky when you feel like you have no control
Thanks for this!
