    how many of you use pain meds?

    Hello, I just wondered how many of you are prescribed pain meds (opiods) as part of your "fibro cocktail." I tried all the so-called fibro meds except lyrica. I refuse to take something that puts that much weight on you so quickly. But I've been unable to take savella or Cymbalta. I did try...

He was talking...

    28 y/o Fe with Fibro and Sjogrens

    Hello everyone! It's been about a year now since my diagnoses. I am very thankful that I no longer feel that I'm on death's doorstep. I came from being in very bad shape, very depressed, frustrated, and just about worthless. I was unable to work and living off of savings while I frantically...
