I've tried Savella. It didn't help me, but fibro is pretty fickle and meds tend to work or not work for as of yet unknown reasons. If your doctor is recommending it, it's unlikely to hurt, you can always stop taking it. I've been on so many meds I honestly can't remember if I had any side...

Also the main problem with applying online is that I still have to have an interview and at best most correspondence will be done by mail and by phone. The last time I applied I'm pretty sure everything fell through because my parents hid the mail and didn't tell me about phone calls. I don't...

Thanks for trying to help sunkacola. It seems you accidentally read where Maria is from. I'm not from Vermont. I'm from a tiny town far outside of Seattle. I'm looking into a few things I can let you guys know how it goes. EDIT: My county has a doctor transportation service but I have to...

I have no money for a taxi and the closest bus stop is in the next town over.

...quite fine with that decision. I still am. However, for nearly a year I've been trying to treat unrelated illnesses and conditions. My jaw is so ****ed up that eating solids or brushing my teeth is as grueling as chewing rocks. My parents won't take me to the dentist, even though I have...

As a side note, I've never worked with seniors, but I volunteered with kids (mostly 10-14 year olds) a lot before I got sick and continued to do so for several months after. Kids don't give you shit. If you tell them "I can't do that because I have fibromyalgia which is a painful illness"...

Thanks guys. I haven't seen a doctor in almost a year. The doctor I described was the last one I saw. I am doing a bit better than I was in my post several months ago. I've really only found relief by way of stress management. I like to call it "stress budgeting." I have a slow drip of stress...

...really cherish, and level with them about how it's affecting you. If they can't give you what you need it's worth considering telling them to go **** themselves. "Don't give me shit for something I can't control and which is incredibly painful" is a pretty easy request, and if they can't meet...

I have a suspicion that -at least for some doctors- when their normal methods of treatment don't work (i.e. medication) they set out unreasonable or unmaintainable goals so when you fail they can blame you for not trying hard enough instead of their own lack of effective treatment. The last doc...

My pain has been pretty ordinarily terrible, but lately I've been getting this sensation where when I stand up this crushing heat sort of pulses out from everywhere and rushes to my head and I get super dizzy and have to just stand still because all my muscles seize up and my vision gets blurry...
