Hi,
I have been having intense, horrible, crippling pain for two years but was somehow just diagnosed recently. I was told "pelvic pain" "back problems" "piriformis syndrome" etc, etc.
i have done a lot of reading about fibromyalgia. I currently take magnesium (lotion and pills), vit. D, melatonin, multis, and probiotics/chia seeds. I am vegan. Currently, I do minimal exercise, like walking about a half hour every other day or so. My main issues are pain and fatigue. My pain is very intense and stays in mostly one or two areas, and then I have milder chronic tension and pain in the neck, shoulders, jaw, back, and sometimes wrists and elbows.
I tried to take Cymbalta, but had a HORRIBLE reaction and had to stop within days.
I am looking for tips as to what helps you guys. I can't take Lyrica. But I want to find something else. I want to know how different medicines and therapies have helped you. My pain has affected my work, my relationships, my friends, my family, and pretty much everything else as you all know. I DO still work, and I am 24 and married.
Thanks for the help!
