You created a ...This is my first time on your blog. You created a blog for my friend and she had your address on her blog. So, I was scrolling down your post and found the fibro post. I have it as well...hate it. I was diagnosed 10 years ago but was in denial and refused to admit I had until this year.<br /><br />I was wondering, is the dr. you go to a rhematologist? I'm sure that is mispelled but it's late! I just started taking lyrica. I'm really not sure about taking it because it can cause weight gain and pretty much any med that says that, I do it :( But I'm giving it a try.<br /><br />It's nice reading how you feel and seeing how other people feel that have this as well. I've had a bad day today and it's because I had a busy weekend. If I don't take a day a week where I'm just home and not going, it hits me hard.<br /><br />I'm sure you have heard more than you ever wanted to but I love your blog!!!!<br /><br />I'm in Arkansas by the way!<br />Have a great fibro free week!Beths Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13434166143098799985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736114647528994176.post-18528607981046601962010-06-04T10:11:22.138-04:002010-06-04T10:11:22.138-04:00Thank you for your post i am reading this late Jun...Thank you for your post i am reading this late June of 10 I suffer to my flares come about 3 weeks t0 3 1/2 weeks a month i had to stop working ( psy nurse 20 years) now a artist when i can my husband is not supportive you are very lucky I wanted you to know as far as your medication sleeping and real pain meds YOU are entitled to the strong ones if you need them if your doctor will not help I can help you find one in your area and help you to talk to him please contact me at pyesquire@gmail .com any else who is suffering feel free to contact meAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14448485275452810071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736114647528994176.post-44124829672483185102010-02-28T16:35:20.245-05:002010-02-28T16:35:20.245-05:00I think the Fibro Fog is as debilitating as the pa...I think the Fibro Fog is as debilitating as the pain.

My mother has suffered from extreme FM since she was in her 40's, and had the same experience: nobody knew what was wrong, and instead they just drugged her up. Thankfully now, she's off the drugs &"in remission" from the pain,but still has a hard time sleeping. My heart goes out to you! I know there are online support groups, they might help...Elizabeth Patchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08304185616310601803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736114647528994176.post-23278109738391170922010-02-25T08:34:00.334-05:002010-02-25T08:34:00.334-05:00Yeah.
