I'm pushing half a century in an industry that is not kind to old guys. I try to fend it off but every now and then it hits me. I'm pretty sure this is not unique to my life experience, or it wouldn't have a term :-)

I have to agree with you here because it comes in waves for me as well. But often spread out between 4-6 months and then I'll get it for 2-3 weeks straight. It's very unpleasant and I'm sorry you're experiencing this.

Right back at you, yeah it's rough. I am seeking out getting medication for it but we'll see.

I hope you can find some healing and stabilization.

I've just started Rexulti, Klonopin, Chlonodine, and Ambien. Even though I'm only 5 days into it, I'm already starting to feel better.
