    what do you take for the pain?

    I am sure that this question has come up before but my cogfog brain will not allow me to read back. I am in the process of coming off valium (which by the way is in itself its own private hell) and already take sertraline. so I will not take anything else prescribed. I take an occasional...

    What works to calm you down?

    I take epsom salt baths and listen to music. I think the hot water calms my muscle spasms. I do light exercises that I have picked up from physical therapy. That stretches everything and seems to help me sleep a little better. If I don't I can wake up very stiff. I drink uncaffeinated green tea...

    Problems with harsh Tap Water

    Does anyone else have issues with tap water quality? Since moving into my partner's place (well before I even moved in...). First time I ever took a shower the water was burning my skin and was not relieved until I went back to my own house to shower. Now 2 years later I can't even drink or...

    Is heat or ice better?

    Doctors always say put ice on sore muscles to reduce the swelling, and heat to reduce the pain. Often times, I can't decide which one my muscles actually need because they're swollen and in pain! I tend to automatically go to taking hot baths to help with my general achiness and fibro flares...

    Romance novels

    I don't know if anyone has enough energy to read novels, but if you do, I need advice. Would you buy and read a romance novel with a hero who is in a wheelchair because of chronic pain. He is amazing despite the chair. It is set in Mount Clemens, MI in 1897 when people came from all over the...

    My hips are killing me today!

    I think this is a common problem with fibro sufferers. I'm talking about where the outside of the legs connect to the hips. I was laying on my side in bed last night, and I felt like something was stuck underneath my hip/leg and the bed. Much like if I had the covers bunched up under my hip and...

    New Here. Getting Fatter and Fatter

    Hi Everyone. New to the site. Confirmed Fibro Victim for 10 years but managing day by day. I quit taking so many baths and it helps me to accept the pain rather than hide behind it! Just wondering if there is anyone out there (Canada) who is on an anti-depressant, pain killer et al that causes...
