relief

:smile: Christmas has always been a HUGE deal to me, so I wish my fellow FM patients the best of this wonderful season, and may the Pain Relief Fairie (I just made that up..... cut me a little slack here) visit you often. Merry Christmas to you and yours, from me and mine :p:p

Hi, everyone - How are you? I am in MS and I was diagnosed the day of the presidential elections. Sigh. I am really struggling right now; I'm hoping to get support here, as I did when I got my Celiac disease diagnosis 11 years ago and joined a forum that was a lifesaver, in terms of accepting...

I just wanted to let this out: My doctor needs to go back to school. What's up with all of these Old School, old mindset and proud doctors who wont listen to us. Trust me, I have better things to do with my time than lay around the house in excruciating pain, forgetting my thoughts before they...

Hello, My doctor put me on Cymbalta yesterday, took my first dose this morning. I was wondering if anyone has some insight to share. Has it helped your pain and fatigue at all? Did you have any side effects? How bad was going off it? Have you combined the Cymbalta with anything else that...

I just saw my GP for a follow-up, because the amitriptyline I was taking was not helping my pain or fatigue at all. She repeatedly questioned "my mood" and I'm so damn sick of her insinuating that this is all caused by depression. When I'm having a good day/days my mood is perfectly fine. When...
