Thanks for your responses everyone! I am doing much better but also resting a lot still. I have been enjoying the sunshine that we have had this week!

Mine go in this order from worst to less: 1. Neck 2. shoulders 3. lower back 4. wrists 5. shins 6. hands 7. feet Btw cmetryme I just wanted to let you know I went to the grocery store yesterday and got a shock everything I touched something metal! It has happened before but I forgot since I had...

Michellemybell, Warm welcome! Glad you found the forums. I too take a high dose of D3 and am on probiotics. My chiropractor suggested the probiotics. At first, I thought he was a bit wonky but it has helped my tummy. I support all eastern medicine practices too! I am glad the oils have helped...

Ragpuss, Yikes and so sorry you had a rough night. I have tried two things when that happens to me. Ice and hot water. Ice helps me most and this is why: it refocuses the pain because my nerves are now paying attention to the cold and that is what it sends to the brain. I know this next one...

Hi Lynds, I hope all went well. I take an antidepressant. Living in chronic pain day after day would make anyone depressed js. I see a psychiatrist and she helped me get on a medication that helps me feel less crabby. For a while she gave me some meds to help make me less anxious but I have...

Hi Mojo! The pain will never be completely gone. The thing I try to remember is I will always have this pain but it can be brought to a level I can handle it on most days. I do use marijuana tincture, only when a flare is really bad, and it helps. I disagree with Ragpuss that it makes things...

SickandTired, We are not drug addicts or we wouldn't be talking about drugs as we would too doped up to type lol. I have used actual drug names but eh if people don't they don't. As my mama always said, "Don't sweat the small stuff kiddo." Python--So happy for you! A little jealous as I...

Huge hugs Moe! My first husband was the same way. It was like he thought I was faking it or something. We wound up getting divorced. It was so nice to not have someone around who I was allowing to make me feel crappier than I did. My current husband tries to understand but there are days I have...

Lol oh my Terbaer! I agree with cmetryme that being calm (yes, I know it is hard when we are dealing with the medical establishment) is best. Hugs to you though because I know what it is like to want to choke the crap out of your doctor. It took me a while to find one who cares. I am fortunate...

Opps sorry meant Tlm75. Fibro fog is bad today lol

Hi Tml75! Welcome to the forums. It has helped me to feel not alone in this journey! I only joined a bit ago but it is nice to come on here and realize I am not the only one dealing with certain issues. Just that, in itself, has really helped me. I hope you find this forum as helpful as I have!

Hi Frankie, Welcome to the forums! Oh my gosh, yes, I can get up after sleeping a whole night and still want to sleep more. I try to get up and spend an hour or so with my husband before he leaves for work. Part of my fatigue is dealing with my chronic pain from FMS. It is amazing how much that...

Hugs Patty! I am only 50 but also on disability pay both from work and SSDI. I have been off for many years. I use to be so active and my house was always clean as well as the fact I taught full time. Today, I managed to get out of bed. I am sitting on my couch with the tv on in the background...

Huge hugs to you Pollen! I live in the states and the doctors here, where I live, are so against narcotics. I have been given tramadol but that does nothing and I do mean nothing. I can relate to your reaction to medications. Gabapentin helped but I was allergic! I was going to the pain clinic...

My first reaction to reading this thread was to shake my head. As is shown, even here, there are many studies and theories on what causes FMS. We, ourselves, do not even understand why we have this. To the original poster, I have heard that trauma can be the trigger for FMS. I have had a lot of...
