All these years of pain and low stamina and drinking too much alcohol and panic attacks and depression.
I was almost 50 years old when I was finally diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Why didn't one of the many doctors I've seen over the years even mention the possibility of this?
Anyway, hello! I'm now seeing a rheumatologist in Annapolis, MD and he started me on Gabapentin a few weeks ago and am slowly upping the dose to 1200 mg./day. I'm not sure if it's helping or not yet.
I was already taking an anti-depressant (Effexor), an anti-anxiety (Xanax), muscle relaxer (cyclobenzaprine) and HRT (Prempro).
There needs to be more AWARENESS out there.
