Hello ladies, there is definitely help in knowing others out there feel the same way! Especially when no one understands how I feel, even me
I was diagnosed with FM this year, although I have had pain for as long as I remember. Actually the "real" pain started when I was pregnant with our youngest. The pain was so bad I could hardly walk somedays. I am now on Gabapentin and it helps some. My Lily has gotten my through some tough times! Especially when I can't sleep, she is always there awake with me and I can get my mind off the pain by snuggling and stroking her. She got me through the last trimester of my pregnancy as well as the first year of Suzanna's life. Our Yorkies are a blessing!
Finding a good doctor is so hard. My Mom finally cornered a friend and begged him to take me on as a patient after having a series of horrible doctors, the last of which told me my pain was from streached muscles and anxiety
anyway there is hope! And actually I read a great book called Hope and Healing for Sufferes of Cronic Fatigue and FM. I really found the advice valuable, she is a doctor who only deals with these two issues. And the advice about taking supplements has really helped. Omega3+joy
Ok heres a good question...
If you had the body of your dreams what would be the first thing you would do pain free???
personally I'd run!!!!!! Run with my kids my dogs, my husband.
