Lyrica

I have been off of Lyrica for a few months now. My doctor decided that it was doing okay but I could actually do without too. That's fine with me because the stuff wasn't cheap!

Since being off of Lyrica, my doc upped some milligrams on the other meds I take and I have to say I am fine.  I have lost ten pounds since I went off of Lyrica! Yay me!! So that made me real happy!!

I'm Catholic, so the Lenten season has started for me. If you don't know what that means, Catholics take this time before Easter to reflect on their lives and see how they can better themselves in preparation for the rise of Christ. They also look into themselves and take note that Christ has given himself up for us, to maybe in fact make some kind of real sacrifice on their part. Like maybe giving up beer if you like your beer. Chewing gum if you're a child. I have decided on doing both, bettering myself and giving something up.

For people who know me, I don't drink excessively or do illegal drugs, but I do however and unfortunately have a potty mouth. Yes people I cuss like a Sailor and really its here and there, but there is no release like it! So I've decided that every cuss word I say I have to pay a $1.00 to the Cuss Jar. And in two days I have to pay $8. It's driving in the car that really gets me! But to get to my point in all of this I plan to get my diet in shape!

When I say diet I don't mean to cut this and that out but to watch what I put in my mouth. To question, is it good for me? Will it hurt my muscles? Will this food increase the stress or will it help decrease it? I choose to eat healthier also. That will definitely benefit me and my condition. So say a prayer for me! The diet will be a cake walk, it's the cussing  that's going to get me!!
