Fibromyalgia
Aug 23, 2008 01:56PM in the Fibromyalgia / CFS Community
Sorry to say that FM is not curable. But you can get it under control with the right meds. You must find a doc that is well informed on this problem. I have had a flare up since Oct.07 & am still in pain daily. But I have learned how to do what I can & don't over due things or you will end up paying for it for a few days or weeks after. Do not push yourself t...
chronic pain

I had excrutiating pain in Jan. to March from FM. It was shooting up my spine, into my butt cheeks & down my legs. The only thing that helped & I mean just making the pain barable not taking it away was either 2 percecets or 90 mg. morphine per day. Like I said it just made the pain more barable. Plus the doc put me off of work which also helped as I could re...

Sorry forgot to mention that I have been suffering off and on for the past 24 years. I was misdiagnosed with lupus,hepatitis & rheumatoid arthritis. I was just diagnosed in Jan.08 with FM. I think the only reason I was diagnosed was because I finally had enough of I DON"T KNOW WHAT IT IS from all the docs. I had to push & blow my cork because I just couldn't ...
MY HUSBAND THINKS I'M OVERLY DRAMATIC

My hubby didn't understand this at first either. He would just touch me and it hurt. My flare this time started in Oct. 07 and has not let up. The only way I got my hubby to understand was to find all different websites that show all the different symptoms. I didn't know that you could hurt so much by just being touched. I told him it was from my being overwe...
