Hi, guys. I'm a newbie to the forum but definitely no newbie to fibro. I was diagnosed about 12 years ago, but it had been going on for a lot longer, of course. I know that it comes and goes (not really, just relapses and remissions) but does anybody know if there comes a time that it just becomes permanent? I'm asking because I seem to have reached such a point. I'm currently taking 4 Lortab 10's, 4 mg of Tizanadine twice a day, Wellbutrin each a.m., Tramadol 3 times a day and Depakote 250 mg twice a day. I thought the meds would make me "strung out" but there's been no difference. The "fibro fog" is horrible, but that was going on before the meds. I don't know what to do. I no longer feel like I am connected to this world. I see and hear what's going on, but I can't seem to get involved in any of it. Has anyone else experienced this? I totally related to jmc's post about how it would have taken him hours to post that short bit. It's taken me about 45 minutes for this little bit, not because of pain, but because I can't seem to "get it together" to write my thoughts. I type a few words and stop and start into space......then I type a few more words and stare into space............then I type a few more words and start into space. This is heartbreaking to me because I was always the super smart kid, the valedictorian, 4.4 GPA, IQ of 168 and now I feel like a complete and utter idiot. Has anybody ever found anything that helps with this? I've tried talking to the docs about it, but they all seem to blow me off. Case in point...I've been typing on this since 7:15 and it is now 9:05. Can you imagine it taking this long to type this little bit? |
"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....
