Hi my name is Sal, I live in Brisbane Australia and I have had fibro twice now.
The first time was 21 years ago after a stressful lifestyle and was cured completely by pregnancy.
The second time (4 years ago but more seriously in last 2 years) was precipitated by a stressful event.
I suffer pain and have been on morphine for 2 years though gave that up 6 months ago and have been on Lyrica 350mg for 8 months now. I also take A.L.A. for neuropathy. My pain and weakness are all over though my neck is the worse. I am going to see a Rheumatologist in a month. My GP has been treating me and has put me on the list to see the Persistent Pain Clinic. I have brown fog and a low tolerance to stress. I cannot sit or stand for too long. I get anxiety and sometimes depression. I am not on any drugs.
I am married with 2 grown up sons (21 & 18yo) who live at home and attend uni. I used to work as a Social Worker.
I hope to make some friends and get some support and advice. Thank you. Sx
