Hello Sunkacola, I used to be a pretty upbeat person. I was diagnosed in 2014 but I have had Fibro since 2011 or at the very least that is when it really started to rear it's ugly head. I have always worked full time and loved working as a medical assistant. In September of 2015 I had to leave...

Cuddling with my puppy and cat always makes me smile. I sat and listened to a great service today in church. I get to relax and watch football with my husband. I had a nice bap as well!

I have all the pains described above. My hands mostly along my thumb and palms are so painful. I was sent to a hand specialist and they gave me a steroid injection in my right hand. That shot hurt like hell and did nothing. I have felt like I was going a bit crazy because the doctors can't...

Hi TipBill, I completely understand. I used to HAVE to shower daily but now I shower every 3 days. I have a stand up shower and it is difficult. I will lean on the wall of the shower with warm water hitting my back ( which is always in pain) and rest for a few. Shaving my legs is a nightmare...

I'm sorry Hope4all, We are having a very quiet Christmas, It will be my husband and our son and my brother in law. I am making Lasagna and relaxing. I am so glad that they agreed to Lasagna and did not want the big dinner. My husband is a great help. He will do the dishes and will let me rest. I...

I couldn't take either of them, but it is different for every one. Take it one day at a time and don't push yourself, you will just end up feeling worse. Gentle hugs.

Hi ElsaMarie, I am from Indiana as well. I live in Columbia City which is just west of Fort Wayne. I have a pain specialist but he only prescribed Gabapentin. He will not prescribe pain meds. He said they do not work, but Tramadol does work (for me anyway) He is THE ONLY pain doc that will take...

I have times when my hands are in great pain. I found that laying them on a heating pad helps. Sometimes 800 Mg of Ibuprofin has helped.

I take Gabapentin and I think it does help, although I am never pain free. I take Savella as well. Tramadol does help, the only reason I know that is because my doctor in Florida had prescribed it. My doctor in Indiana will not. Fatigue and anxiety are my worst issues right now. My hips, legs...

Hi MaggyBunny, I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. I am fortunate that my husband is a disabled/retired veteran so he is home all the time. He is very understanding and does almost everything around the house. I have gone down to working 2 hours a day. I am a lunch recess monitor at an...

Good Luck Krista!

I had to put my cat down (same age). She wasn't eating the hard food.I bought some canned food but was eating funny, like sh was trying to get something to go down or back up. She was so skinny. When I took her to the vet he examined her and said she seems healthy, just keep giving her wet food...
