I know too well what you're saying…my sister suffers from this. It took years to figure out what was wrong.She hurt all over,she had terrible migraines,couldn't sleep well,she was dizzy,always tired,always lacking energy,and doctors kept diagnosing her with depression and psychosomatic disorder. Finally,one doctor,many years ago,the first one to understand this was not a psychological disease,diagnosed her with fibrositis (a former name for fibromyalgia) but the treatment she got then was not very effective.Only 4 years ago she was eventually diagnosed with fibromyalgia and she started to get some proper treatment (painkillers-Tramadol and Advil,antidepressants-Elavil and muscle relaxants when she's in deep pain-Cyclobenzapril). So far the disease didn't progress and she's feeling better under the treatment,but,boy,she's been through a lot. I'm here too for anybody who'd like to talk about it. |

"When I was diagnosed I was scared didn't know what to do or where to go..I started reserching bipolar and somehow ended up here at MD....Again scared but needing to know what was in store I asked a question..WOW the people who care..I know I would be lost now if I did not join..made many friends and they have helped me through thick and thin. and never judged...........XX Thank you MD and all.Love all of you.......Laurie Pachin" (puppylover)
