I think that most people with any sort of major medical issue feels it worse in the morning. There was some study done that you're actually about an inch taller when you wake up in the morning than when you go to bed. I'm wondering if that 'stretching' or whatever it is that causes that, causes...

Sounds like a very good class to share with us! I know there are many people that flat-out refuse to take pain meds, so if you learn some alternatives that'd be great to know! I hope you get everything sorted out on your end job, insurance, and pain-wise. It sucks that your doctor wouldn't do...

I know that when my b/f's mom has a migraine, her fibro acts up a lot more as well. Adds insult to injury in my eyes! She does seem to stay sick longer than most people, but fibro is not her only medical issue, so I can't say for sure that fibro is the reason.

Looking at this from a cynical outsiders perspective, it seems like she has depression and he is co-dependent. Many toxic relationships arise when one refuses to do anything without the other one present. It's very sweet that he wants to be supportive of what she's going through, but misery...

If you do get sunburn again (if you're like me, you will. I get it from looking at the sun lol) pick up some solarcaine. That stuff is magic in a can. Works better than any aloe I have ever used. It feels so cold but so good! A hot shower helps too, but it's VERY painful to deal with in order to...

I have not personally taken Lyrica, but everyone who has taken it has nothing but good things to say. The only side effect was that when first going on it, you almost feel too fatigued. My b/f's sister started taking it and she said that she just walked around all day almost in a fog for about a...

For those recently diagnosed, how long were you on your meds before you starting noticing results? How long do you wait when you feel strange side effects from the meds before you decide you need to change meds, or if the side effect is normal and will either go away, or you need to get used to it?

I've heard mixed reviews about Prednisone. One said that it helped her amazingly, while the other said that it made her migraines much worse and she had to stop taking it. I'm not sure if it was a chemical reaction or what. That's the sad part with diseases we don't know a lot about, especially...

I am going to recommend this to a couple of people I know with Fibro. I'm sure on some level it will help a bit, and for them, even a little is a lot! It really is amazing what the whole 'mind over matter' thing can accomplish. Makes you wonder if you could walk across cliffs like Wile E. Coyote...

I know it's probably impossible with everything that everyone has to try and do in a day, but have you tried just going into the bedroom and relaxing about an hour or so before bed? Not necessarily bubble bath and all the works, but winding down your mind? I know when I had insomnia it really...
