    Start medication before diagnosis?

    Hi, New here. I suspect I likely have Fibro, and my pain has gone from occasional to more or less constant (mostly in my arms and legs). I saw my GP last week, who also agreed it could be fibro, and did offer to start me on drugs right away for the pain. I can't remember if she said Cymbala or...

    What has helped me...

    1. Autoimmune Paleo Diet 2. Chiropractor / muscle work 3. Alleve 4. CBD oil when necessary I HIGHLY recommend the diet. My pain level went from an 8/9 down to a 5 within 3 days. I do have to take Alleve every day, but it is manageable most days now.

I got my SSD in 2007, and up until this year they never once contacted me concerning rechecking for eligibility, that is until I got a part time job this year. I came home one day...

    question about anti-inflammatory

I'm not really taking anything...

I have only just learned that fibro can be the cause of mood changes. For over a month I have been experiencing the terrible...
