    Fibro is gradually destroying my life

    :(Hi everyone. This my usual time for feeling the need to talk. I have had Fibro for seven years, starting after I had to retire from my deputy head job and from working altogether because of a total calamitous breakdown. That is always rumbling in the background and now my Fibro, due I think to...

    Discontinuing Cymbalta--Ugh!

    Two weeks into my Cymbalta taper with Zoloft replacement and I'm wondering why I ever began this drug in the first place. Yes, it did help some with pain but I've got to wonder what price I paid for that. Headaches, brain zaps, nausea, anxiety, pain, GI dysfunction, and a whacked out sleep...

    15 years since diagnosis

    I began having insomnia, headaches, diffuse body-wide pain and cognitive problems back in early 2000. By June of that year, I could only work a few hours per week at my senior analyst position at Siemens Power Corp, Nuclear Div. At year's end, with no diagnosis and unable to really perform my...

    New & wonder how to handle bouts of extreme fatigue

    Hi, This is my 1st time on the forum. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a month ago. I am wondering how to deal with sudden (daytime) fatigue that's so overwhelming that I "have to" sleep. What if I have to go to work? What can I do to function when it's impossible to not give in to sleep...

    Losing my mind

    All day, all I want to do is sleep. All night, I have no interest in sleeping because I don't want to have to get up in the morning. Could this be because no matter how long I lay in bed and sleep, I never feel better? I try to rest a lot on the weekends, but week days are full of time limits...

I had no idea what that was and she didnt tell me. I stopped seeing her because she didnt listen to me and didnt seem...
