It’s been quite a while since we last posted. Since the last time we have gotten a new computer, new key board (requiring a lot of adjustments to the way we type), new smart phones, and a wonderful new monitor. With all the new things a person might think we are a new person, but in truth it’s the same many-of-me struggling with depression and medications.

Today we had a therapy session with our EMDR therapist and we worked on using tapping to diminish pain. We have had to reduce the strength of our pain patch medication because of the interaction it has with our psych meds. So far that means increased pain with not much relief from the depression (dose is too low still). We are hoping the dose will be increased at our next visit to the psychiatrist which will be next week. In the meanwhile we will try to deal with increased pain using the tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques).
