Hey all,
It's only been 8mo since I came down with fibro. I've been tested for a hell of a lot of things, but all has come back negative except for the ANAs. So I think I may have mitochondrial damage from a medication I had been taking (unrelated to fibro).
I can't even tolerate OTC drugs anymore; I used to take a sleeping pill occasionally but when I've tried to since the fibro, I wake up with rip-roaring migraines. I just had a cat scan done with contrast, and it's wrecked havoc on my body (hurts to lift a coffee cup).
My doc is trying to convince me that drugs will help my "quality of life," but I'm petrified. If it
does turn out that I'm suffering from mitochondrial damage/toxicity, I'm afraid of making a bad situation worse.
Anyone else in the same/similar boat as me?
