Dear sweet Cher!

As hopefully you know by now, my thoughts and spirit are with you! big time! ...

I do think you need to preserve your hands and i'm glad it seems the pre-writing helps to make sure you don't lose a whole post, cuz that can only add too to a sense of despair as well as pain to your hands...

I'm just amazed that you're coping as you are, working where you have to use your hands so much...

I haven't commented on the Xanax cuz i've never taken it, but i think and hope you will feel strong in making the md understand just how much even a modest but regular dose of it has made a difference to you.

I do think, not so much for the ticks maybe as for the concern you had with floaters, that it would ease your mind if you could see an opthalmologist too. But i also know you have to feel on overload and what's REALLY important is to congratulate yourself (and hear my congrats!) for how you're tackling these things one by one, dentist, surgeon, etc.)

I'm with you in heart and spirit and WHEN you can write again without causing pain to your hands, I and we all look forward to hearing your news ... (and, please, you know you have zero need to be concerned about whether you are taking effexor or not as a 'license' to write here. You are one of our support group here as much as any of us!)

with warm hugs (or would cool hugs feel better? I think i heard it's muggy there today?)

love,
zinya

> I want you all to know that I have posted recently two empty emails and somehow screwed up in sending. It took me a while to post and Zinya gave me a hint to write it out first and save as I go then if something goes wrong I can just cut and paste and resend.

> The Email was just a sappy I love you guys kind of email, thanking you all for your love, help, understanding & support.
>
> Nobody in my life seems to understand what I'm going through and I understand all of you, so completely and I know you understand me.
>
> Writing is becoming harder for me because of the carpal tunnel I am having (I see the surgeon Thursday afternoon and he will let me know if and when I'm going to have surgery on my hands)and...everything I do these days is so slow and the energy level is down to almost nothing. I do read all the posts and most of the times it brings me to tears, but I have been working more lately and I must save my hands for typing and the numerous dictations by shorthand at work I have been doing.

> I am taking nothing right now but an occasional Xanax (.25 mg) and those are more precious to me than Gold. I will try AGAIN to speak to my Doctor (with Susy's help - the article on Xanax was AWESOME) - I am hoping he will see things my way and give me a prescription. Funny, all I would need is .25 mg whenever I'm having problems. On the days I take the .25 mgs twice a day - my eye tick goes away.

> I have had a severe eye tick for over a year and when I was on Zoloft (for only 4 days) - my eye tick went away. Then I started the Effexor XR (for only 6 days) - now my eye tick is back. The only time it goes away for more than 8 hours is when I take the Xanax.
>
> To all of you, thank you so much for your support - I know I'm not taking any of the meds and I'm on the Effexor posts - but you all mean so much to me - and I'm sorry I don't write with support as much as I used to.
>
> Please take care of each other, and as soon as I am able I will be posting more.
>
> As always, my heart, my prayers and my good thoughts go out to everyone on here.
