Hello. Nice to meet everyone. I was sick for years. My primary doctor thought I was crazy and put me on an antipsychotic. I left his practice. Found a neurologist who diagnosed me after three years with Fibromyalgia. I was down depressed and full of anxiety when I got to her the day of my first appointment. We played around with different meds and I had multiple tests done. Like your usual lab tests, blood work, MRI etc. then the pain got worse every year. So now it’s been at its worse. I had to quit two jobs. Luckily I just got unemployment. Cause my fiancé and I are going under water with me not working and we don’t want to lose our house we put our savings into. We can’t even afford a proper wedding now. I’m always on the couch. We fight all the time. I can barley get out of bed. I do what I can around the house but can’t maintain it by myself. I do have better days than others. But I’m always:
moody. Depressed. Anxiety. Can’t sleep. I sweat so much every day, I could be just laying in bed doing nothing. No motivation. I’m always hot. I can’t go in the sun or I feel sick. I also get rashes even with a ton of sunblock. I don’t like to leave the house. Thank goodness my fiancé is a homebody too. I gained a ton of weight the last year. I’m so bloated. Constipated. I hate showering cuz I’m so winded after. My skin is very dry. I love my comfy pants and a T-shirt.
I am on Cymbalta 30mg a day and I would like to
Say it’s helping.
