The complications of my life with Fibro

I have been fighting with stress a lot more than normally, I am dealing with my son's grandparents, they decided last April that they were going to try and "intervene" and try to get more visitation than what they were already getting, which was every other weekend and six weeks in the summer.  They took me to court once, but they lost due to the fact they started the action

Today I woke up with the worst pain ever and guess what I just happen to be out of pain pills and here I sit in pain miserable and there is nothing I can do.  Taking a hot bath may help, who knows! I am really tired of this crap, I wish one day I could just feel better, and not have to worry about pain.  It is to the point where I am easily distracted from one thing to another pain being

Ever since I saw the Pain Management Doctor on Tuesday I have been a lot more depressed than what I usually am.  I cannot believe that they suggested that my pain is all depression related andto take me off almost all of my current medicines except for the cymbalta.  I know for a fact that if I quit all the other medicines I will be in a  world of hurt, and the thought scares me.

:angry: I am not at all happy with my visit to the pain specialist.  First off when the PA came in and examined me she didn't check the tender points she just pressed down on my shoulders andmy head..which hurt very much! She then asked me what medicine I was on. I told her Norco, Soma, Cymbalta, Tramadol, Neurontin, Amitryptaline, Ativan, Atenolol. She said "we need to get you off o

Last night we were having supper and my husband had taken a bite of his steak and choked on it.  It didn't go down and it wouldn't come back up.  Finally about 11pm he went to theER and they kept him over night so that this morning they could remove the piece of steak in his throat.  I didn't get to go with him last night because I had already taken my night time meds

I started Lyrica and Cymbalta the other day..yes finally got my insurance to pay for the meds! I don't know how this is helping me yet, I know that since the switch from Gabapentin to Lyrica ithas made me hurt 100x more. Maybe after a few days of being on it, it will help..I am having my doubts though.

We are back in a stormy pattern of weather also which I am sure is not helping me a

I know I have previously kind of touched on my anger on how we are treated having this illness.  I have had it since birth, been diagnosed with all kinds of other illnesses and then I miraculouslyrecovered from these illnesses.  I have been told I had Juvenile Rhumatoid Arthritis, severe depression, bi polar disorder, eating disorders, drug addict, and many more.

It infuriates m

I was reading a post over in the forums about medicines that currently work for me.  I am appauled that most of us have been treated like less than human to only seek relief from this horrificpain that we live with.

The war on drugs has made us out to look like nothing other than druggies out looking for our fix by way of our doctors.  I unfortunately though  can get nothin

I dunno, today was a pretty shitty day, I don't know why maybe because a few passing thunderstorms came through and seemed to make things a little worse, who knows anything anymore makes this crapworse!

My life is constant stress, and anxiety, and anger..I am pretty darn sure that none of those things help me anyways.   The last year has been more stress than I was anticipating,

Thirty one long years, that is how long it took me to get my diagnosis, ever since then, my life has slowly fallen apart.  I don't know what caused the sudden onslaught of symptoms, but I will put money on it that the suicide of my oldest son's father, and my car accident to be the main cause behind the sudden barrage of symptoms. 

I hurt so badly anymore, that I don'
