Hi All,
I wanted to share a few things with the forum that I hope will help even 1 person. This is truly a frustrating condition for patients and doctors with very little relief and no magic pill.
First, a few things that have helped the pain, meds don't seem to work on me at least. Getting...
Today I was thinking about how I cope with fibro and other chronic health issues. I came to the conclusion I don't know what I would do if it wasn't for my best and closest friend. I literally have no idea where I would be right now without the support of my friend. My friend is always there...
I am talking Lyrica three times a day and also Meloxicam once a day and I am still having pain daily. Do you Folks have any suggestions what may help? I am going to my Doctor on Thursday and I would like to ask him about other medications. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello from sweltering TX, ya'll. :)
I have dubbed myself 'fibronaut', because much like an astronaut, it feels like I am constantly exploring new territory. I'm sure I am not alone! My fibro started out as an annoyance with an occasional flare, and is now a full time job. I don't have good...
I need to ***** for a moment. I have been having episodic neuro issues lately, meaning since fall of 2013 starting around Columbus day. Long story short my wife went with me so she could tell the DR. about what she sees on a daily basis. Left felling more confused and frustrated and still more...
