That is a very good question. When you find the answer please post it i think we would all jump on that wagon. Even though today is realy bad for me all the way around i know that all i can do is except things the way they are and hope for better drugs. so hang in there, " it could be worse" we could have to deal with this alone and without any meds.

As I was reading both of your posts, it brought sadness to me. I hate it when others are having an exceptionally bad day. So, usually I post something to make you try to feel better. But today, as I read along, I came across something I found funny. Ya know we always say "Let's hope tomorrow's a better day" or something like that? Well, I just heard a better one...

"Except things the way they are and hope for better DRUGS!"

There's no thought as good as that one!!

I hope you both feel better!

Smile...even if it's just because you take a shower today!

I'm with suzee on the let's hope for better drugs. When I'm having a rotten day due to the pain I definitely come here for support. I also try to focus on a piece of me that the fibro doesn't hold...something I enjoy like talking on the phone with a friend, watching a chick flick, snuggling w/ kids, whatever. I am determined to not let the pain control me. It's difficult, but with the support everyone gives here it is more obtainable for me than before.

Thanks everyone for your support!

Welcome to this site. Do anything you can to relax. Use a moist heating pad.Put lavendar candles around. Get dr to give you some meds and hopefully they will help.
I have dystonia, neuropathy, gerd, arthritis, and fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel and other ailments. I enjoy embroidery,music, and reading my Bible and Christian books. I love to bake. I try to be very supportive and positive.
