I understand how you feel Forgetmenot. I'm finally getting weaned off of fluoxetine only to have the doctor increase my Gabapentin and it doesn't help with anything. In the beginning the gabby helped with my headaches, not so much anymore. I love when they say "Here take this" and when that...

I can honestly say that its not a pulled muscle. I have done that so I know what it feels like. It feels like red hot meat hooks trying to pull or split my back apart. I believe this is another part of fibro that I'm experiencing. Seems like every time I turn around (so to speak) there is...

Thanks Forgetmenot. I have tried muscle relaxant. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I do have an appointment with my Dr next month and I will bring it up. Gentle hugs to you.

I've been having extreme pain around my spine. From mid-back up to the top of my shoulder blades. At times its like having a binder clip squeezing my spine. I've tried heat, cold and light massage. I have even tried mild stretches. If I move the wrong way suddenly it takes my breath away. I...

Hi there. I know how you feel about the gaining weight. I had finally reached my goal. When the dr. increased my dosage I started putting the weight back on. I'm currently taking 300mg Gabapentin 4 times a day. I can honestly say that the only thing it has helped me with is my headaches. I use...

I have the same problem. I drop things, can't open things, and my fingers stutter when I type.

I don't drive because of the fibrofog. I have a hard time keeping my mind on more than one thing at a time. Besides it scares me to be on the road here in Florida. :)

I was diagnosed at 50, but I believe I was dealing with it for far longer than that. I have not yet been able to pinpoint when exactly but I believe it was in 20's or 30's. Back then I just thought it was part of working and being a single mom. :)

I understand how you feel. My son wants me to come to Rhode Island from Florida (in November) to there when his first child is born. Believe me I want to be there for that. I don't know how yet. How about finding a nice bed and breakfast. I know its not camping but maybe one in the country side...

I have hand tremors when I do to much. I also get the spasms too. It happens when I'm typing on the keyboard. When I want one letter I get two. That's why I try to check my words before I post anything. :)
