| A little about me: | Hi, my name is Tina and I am married to saint of a man named Clint. We have a fantastic son and a fabulous daughter-in-law who live too far away. We're in Los Angeles and they're in Kansas because of school. That cat you see is Squeaky J. He's the most amazing cat ever and he's our baby. I was always really, really healthy until 5 years ago. I exercised 6 days a week for 90 minutes each day. I was busy, employed, excited and happy. Physically I was very strong. Then it seemed like one day everything changed. (I can look back now and see there were occasional symptoms previously.) I was in the pool one day and I got short of breath. I thought it was the flu. When it didn't go away in two weeks I went to the doctor and he said it was asthma. That was the beginning of an endless round of tests, misdiagnoses, tears and frustration. Now here I am and I think now I can start from where I'm at rather than trying to get back to where I was. Know what I mean? August 17, 2009 An update on my profile is warranted. I started a new drug a couple of months ago, called suboxone. It's similar to naltrexone which has showed a lot of promise in treating fibro pain. For me it has been a miracle. Within a month of starting it, I took myself off all of my other meds. Every day is pain free now. I still battle the other fibro symptoms, fatigue, fog, and breathing difficulties, but my pain is essentially gone. What pain I have left is due to other conditions, i.e., the issues with my back and CTS. It can be difficult to obtain from a lot of doctors, it requires a DEA license to prescribe it. I would have to highly recommend talkging to your doctor about it, though. If it helps anyone even half as much as it has helped me, it would be well worth it.    |
