    Meds

    I have been on Naproxen 500 mg since late March and it has been working pretty well. My rheumatologist and primary care doc were in a pissing match over who would authorize a refill.

    I think I have FM, but MD has not diagnosed

    I started having pain back in 2011 after I began a part-time job that was more physical than I had performed before. I was just into my 40s, so not a good idea I guess since all my jobs had been sedentary before. I was in decent shape though and it was just part-time, so I didn't think...

    there is no winning

    There's no winning with this disease. Either I'm in pain or can't feel my limbs or I'm dizzy and nauseous. Gabapentin is probably the most mild drug I can take for side effects and yet I still can't handle the side effects. I can't drive because I will randomly start to see double or everything...

    Hi all, Thanks for taking the time to read my story. I enough of my symptoms were consistent with fibro to give it a shot. About a month ago, my left leg developed a sensation somewhere between a dull ache and tickle that ran from my groin to my feet plus a feeling like an electrical charge...

    My Letter to Fibro

    Dear Fibro, You came into my life unexpectedly, unannounced, and have set up camp indefinitely without my approval. I didn’t even know something like you existed, that I could ever share my life permanently, so early on with something so mysterious and uncurable. You took away my job, stunted...

    peace and joy are gone

    Is life really this hard?! Do you go around feeling cute puppies, and smiling sunflowers? Where did the simple times go? Where did the direction manual go? There use to be a joy at waking up. The nice routines of a morning. Talking to your young children who were happy to see you...
