My doctor is being brilliant, we have tried various drugs but he says my tolerance for drugs has been very heightened and everything we have tried leaves me with a very hung over feeling at best, so now I'm on amitripyln but in...

    Totally drained

    Hello. I'm new here and this is my first post. I'm so glad to have found this site after a couple of years of battling this on my own. My journey has been long and hard. Doctors used to think I was imagining the symptoms and called me a hypochondriac for years. Finally I found a specialist who...

    GABA Deficient Anxiety

    Since the clinic wants to prescribe me a medication that is normally for depression and anxiety, I though it best to research some supplements as alternatives. So without posting a link, if you do a search for "Balancing Brain Chemistry with Peter Smith" you will come to his website. He cuts...

    Gabapentin

    Well I went back to the doctor today and she gave me a prescription for gabapentin. Anybody else take this? If so does it work for you? I was told it "might" work but was reading about it and am really worried about the side affects. Normally I do not experience side affects from medication but...

    No more sex, please!

    Well I've had fibromyalgia for the past 6 years 1 month 10 days. I only feel getting worst and everything I try I have to say has only helped my drastic swelling. I would swell up to 20lb in one day to another but know it's about 5lb to 8lb. I feel this is a great accomplishment and I hope my...

    Sleep

    I have a lot of trouble with sleeping. I do take Benedryl to help me sleep, but it really isn't helping the second half of the night. I can fall asleep just fine (unless I'm dealing with anxiety) and I sleep for 3-4 hours before waking up to use the bathroom. Then, it will take me sometimes...

    Can't hang on much longer

    God, I want to die. The pain in my arms is so bad. At first it was just the left arm, the one I had surgery on now it's both arms. The pain is the exact same type of pain in both arms. It feels like my upper arms are being squeezed in a vice and where my arm goes into my body feels like it is...

    Sleep medications

    Sleep is a major issue with FM patients with restless leg syndrome RLS, teeth grinding and sleep apnea being common culprits. If no particular cause of sleep disturbance can be pinpointed, antidepressants taken in low doses should be given. These are not addictive and have few contraindications...
