This sucks

I wanted to give you a big hug. I was diagnosed 4 years ago, and although the research says Fibro is not progressive, I say that is a bunch of Balogna! Mine is getting worse everyday. I did nothing but cry yesterday, so I know your pain. The depression is horrible too. Today was ok. I had to take my meds, and pray. Things that help (somewhat, I still haven't had a foolproof solution) are staying calm when all hell breaks lose, praying, light exercising, relaxing. Pain meds when it gets to be too much, support groups like this one, and friends and family. I hope this helps a bit. If you need to chat just send me a message.

I don't know how you and your doctor get along.....

But just one suggestion....... It is a med that works really well for me...and its "Provigil"

It has a lot of uses... but mostly it is to help you feel awake..... not like a "speed" like med... but just makes your mind awake...... no jitters, or nerves feelings..... I just feel like I can think..... not so sleepy, croggy feeling..... If I know I have a day with a lot to do... I take on..... and what a difference it makes........

It may not be for you..... but if you have not tried it........ what do you have to lose.... and like I always say...please ...Google it and research it before you take it.... and make sure it does not work badly with any of your other meds.......

I do you are doing ok today.....

Hope you have a GREAT DAY and BE as PAIN FREE AS POSSIBLE...

May you have a great day today..... and be as PAIN FREE as possible...

I was told I had fibro shortly after I got married also. I was a single mom and use to doing everything myself too, and then this thing crept up slowly (I knew something had been going on though) and then tried so many different meds (still am) and yes, it is horrible to get up in the morning! There have been times my husband had to button my pants for me because I couldn't. So embarrassed, but he is really a sweet guy and has been great about it all. It really makes me mad because I don't like to not even be able to go for a walk without feeling horrible later. I have gained 30 pounds in 3 years of marriage, because of meds. Has this happened to you too? I like being active and when the dr says to exercise and the fibro won't be as bad I feel like hitting him. (I have tried different drs too) I didn't want to believe it was true at first and tried to be in denial. So I understand your frustration. Very depressed at times.

I can really relate to the feeling of hurting so much you can't get out of bed. My shoulders are the worst and I literally have a hard time rolling out of bed. But I have managed. Just know that you have to take everything at a slower pace and don't overwork yourself. I have really had to slow down. When I get to my stopping point each day I just say "That's it!" and I go sit down and rest. The house can stay dirty!!

Please feel free to write to me anytime! I am new here too.
