Major recovery news

When I was still battling paruresis (bashful bladder syndrome) I bought a couple boxes of straight catheters that I learn to use on myself.  It gave me temporary relief of urinary retention. Since my prostate surgery (during which the surgeon also fixed a narrow neck of the bladder)  I have had no problems with urinary retention and I feel so confident about that, that I threw out my catheters.  So, I gave up my Xanax two and a half months ago, and shortly thereafter I gave up my catheters.   I'm throwing all my crutches away, one at a time. I have also stopped individual therapy to move on to couples' counseling so that my fiancee and I can learn how to talk to each other so we'll listen.   On the other hand, due to my sleep problems, my doctor and I decided to increase my Cymbalta to 90mg a day and my Zyprexa to 5mg a day.  I see him in a few weeks and we'll see how that has gone. The other reason for the meds increase is that I've had nerves firing all over my body, making me feel like my whole body itches.  Despite this latest problem, I still think I'm doing well and am proud of my progress.
