Hello everyone. I’m 45. I’ve had pain in various “odd” places and have severe fatigue. I also struggle with mental health. My mom had fibromyalgia. I never thought I would have it. I’ve been in significant pain that wraps around my ribs n almost to my breast for five months. I had an mri last week. Currently I’m on 10/325 hydrocodone and gabapentin 300 mg three times per day. Thus far, it has helped. Although I don’t take the hydrocodone as prescribed. Every six hours is too much for me. Without these two, I’m screaming in nerve pain. My newest symptom is right knee pain. I can’t explain it. Just woke up and the pain was there. I have been researching fibromyalgia since Thursday.
Are smoothies a big help? I have no problem with drinking smoothies but the ingredients are quite expensive, so I want some feedback if they do help or not. I am starting aqua therapy soon. I can definitely say I was very depressed the first day after diagnosis. But now Im not giving up. I’m going to do what I can to help myself. Hopefully my weight, diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure and depression goes as an added bonus.
