I can't deal...

I am a 26 year old female. I have Fibro but nothing seems to help. I am in terrible pain, my joints, neck, and shooting pains down my arms and legs. My limbs also go numb especially on my left side. There are times (frequently) that I completely loss energy, so bad that it takes everything just to breath. I sleep 14 hours a day and still can not function. I am on Cymbalta and Lyrica. I can't go on living like this. Is there anything that I can do or take to help me?

Good luck and be sure to let your physician know about adding D-Ribose along with your other medications/supplements.

If that doesn't work and/or you want additional information, I started an MSN group called "Neuro-Immune Support" (check MSN groups and you should find it) for people with fibro, CFS, MCS and other neuro-immune conditions. I have a board with the latest research info and other boards for different treatments, physicians/centers & tons of other info.

I'm sorry to hear what you are going through. The only thing I can tell is you is try not to stress out too much, as that can make your symptoms even worse. I would also recommend maybe getting massages (if you aren't already) and/or seeing a Naturopathic physician. I know there is one supplement that may help you... it is called D-Ribose. You might want to google and check out the results from research studies that have been done on the supplement in fibro patients.
