Well today was the day from hell. I don't even know where to begin. I guess what lead to today being hell actually started yesterday morning. My husband decided he was going to make something using the food processor. Mind you this was at 5:30 in the morning. I didn't get to sleep until...

Ok, so Sunday afternoon my husband and I went out for lunch. When we got home I just sat in the car for a few minutes. My husband asked me if I was coming in the house or what. I told him I don't think I have the energy to make it. So I sat in the car for a few more minutes and finally...
I'm approaching age 65 and my PCP is advising that I take the shingle's vaccine. I'm concerned if there are any fibromyalgia reactions after taking the vaccine.
Well I went to my psychiatrist yesterday and he told me he is quitting his practice and moving to a different state. He at least referred me to someone else. This is the 4th doctor in a year that has left their practice. My rheumatologist left about a year ago, the doctor who was treating me...
It is a sad state of affairs that in this country I can not find a doctor who will help me. My PCP is useless. I have called doctor after doctor only to be told no for one reason or another. One doctor takes my insurance but isn't taking on new patients. One doctor is taking on new patients...

I wished to GOD that I had never had the surgery on my left shoulder. The pain is 10 times worse than it was before the surgery. I take 200 MG a day of tramadol and it doesn't even begin to touch the pain. My PCP won't give me anymore than that. The last time I talked to the surgeon that did...
