I used to take Tylenol for my headaches, but over the years I developed cluster headaches, which are nasty and can last a very, very long time. The doctor I see at the walk-in clinic knows I don't like to take medicine if I can avoid it, so he recommended Advil Liqui-gels for my headache pains...

I haven't noticed a connection with the fatigue and headaches. I do know I often wake up with a headache and some days are worse than others. My worst headaches are the cluster headaches I get. My worst time for getting headaches is days when the air pressure is rising fast, for example if we...

I have days when lifting a pot off of the stove is a real challenge. My arms get weak and some days I can't get a lid off of a jar. I used to be able to pick a pot off the stove with one hand and carry it to the sink no problem, but quite often now I need to use two arms and some days I can't do...

I'm glad you have discovered what may be underlying all your troubles. I hope you can get a diagnosis soon. My own journey with this illness began in my teen's (I am now 47). I was tired all the time as a teen and the doctor sent me for Mono tests, which all came back negative. I had such a...

You have access to the internet, so try to see if you can find anything online about Fibromyalgia and what is available in your country. I hope you can find some help. Try to talk to a doctor to find out what they know and can suggest. It is great that you are supporting your wife with this...

I'm sorry your family is like this. It must be so difficult for you to get through your day and the stress they are adding to your already painful condition sounds awful. I got out of a bad relationship, I left him because he refused to do any housework to help out at all and complained...

I'm glad you shared what you are going through, it can be very tough and you are very strong for reaching out for help. Like happytobealive, my father committed suicide just after my 4th birthday. My little brother was just 2 at the time. It affected us greatly and still does, we are both in...

There is no shame in taking breaks when cleaning or other activities you do. That is good pain management. I am similar to you, except this year I can clean for about 5 to 10 minutes then need to take at least a 20 minute break. Divide your work up, like if sweeping and moping are really hard on...

This illness can really takes it's toll on us, huh? I get so sick and tired of being sick and tired. haha I've been dealing with my illness and pushing myself to get things done, but this year has been terrible. This is the worst my Fibro has been, so I can relate to your feeling so low. I was...

I can relate to your doctor issue, the doctor that diagnosed me with Fibro did not do any testing of any kind. She pressed a couple of tender points on my back and that was it. I worry that I may have something worse and sometimes wonder if I might have something that I could actually get help...
