Educate educate educate! I found that I would google everything fibromyalgia and ..... Whether that be the best exercise, or the best supple tents, medication whatever. Also having a good support system is very helpful. Educate thise that you love. Don't be afraid to be vulnerable. Be willing to...

I have not had a trauma . The only thing I can think of is difficult pregnacies but my fibro didn't kick in until years later. For me I believe that it is hereditary, as my mom also had it along with a host of other aim met that I fortunately do not have. Just fibro for me, but that's enough!

I go to my Dr on Friday to fill out the neccaseary paper work. Here in BC Canada it is legal. I will be using a vaporizer . The company helps you figure out what stains to use and when. They give , or should I say sell, you a starter pack in the beginning with 4 different strengths plus the...

I have a friend that is a Usana supplement representative . She was telling me about it today. It seems that there are many people with fibro. who have had a great reduction of their pain and increase in energy in these products. Has anybody tried it? Thought I'd put it out there before...

I hear ya! My legs kill me all the time! I hope you get some relief soon!

Well the Cesamet did not help at all. I am going off it. I am actually back on Topomax because my migraines dramatically increased when I went off. We will see what happens with this before I decide to go the mmarijuana route. I am trying to,stay away from it because it Si not covers by my...

My mom had it

Hi. I am considering buying a new home. This place has a jetted bathtub. Does anyone have and use one? Is it beneficial?

My Dr wanted to start me I'm Cesamet first to,see if it is helpful. It is covered by my extended health. He said to,try it for a month . If it's not helping then I can go for the real stuff. Which is not civered So far it's not helping much, but it's only been a week. One concern I have about...

Wow! Make sure you wean off slowly. I just finished weaning off Effexor and Topimax. It took 6 weeks.

1 year ago I bought a Certa iComfort It's amazing! You should google it. They even give a 2 month sleep guarantee. It is made of high quality foam. I bought the pillows too. This mattress cradles your body and fills in every crevice like your lower back. Yet it still gives amazing support. It...

I live in Canada, where it is legal everywhere. I went to the dr today. He prescribed a low dose of Cesamet which is synthetic mmarijuana (!i hope my extended Heath care covers it!) I'm going to start tomorrow , I'll keep you posted! Apparently it can help sleep too! I am excited and a bit...

Has anyone tried medical marijuana? I have been doing some research and I am intrigued. I have just recently weaned off of Effexor and Topomax. I take Tramadol as needed but I don't find it very effective for my pain. I am curious to know how to use marijana without having to feel stoned .

That I s my cover too. Is it better to keep using the stairs , to keep using my muscles? Plus I love my current home otherwise

I have great difficulty going up and down stairs. It is sooo painful! I realize that this is a common problem. I am trying to convince my husband that moving to a house with main level living would be very helpful. I am curious to know if anyone has made such a move and has found a difference ...
