This is my first posting and I guess I'm just looking for help coming to grips with the fact it's not something you can just fix or have surgery for and feel better.
After having my Appendix rupture, kidney stones, infection, DJ stent and then Gallstones lead to the removal of my Gallbladder, then the Endoscopy finding my stomach full of ulcers into my small intestine all in the past 9 months I now have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.
I'm relieved to have a diagnoses but now a little lost as to how to begin to get my life back when I don't even feel like I can get off the couch most of the time.
My appointment with the Rheumatologist was brief and to the point.
Your blood work is Negative for Autoimmune diseases.
You do have Fibromyalgia.
Take 75mg of Lyrica at bedtime & come back in a month.
If I wasn't depressed before I sure am now!
I live in Dubai, UAE and feel pretty isolated from family & friends back in the US
I hope the Doctors over here start showing me something better than they have so far. Oh and they do not give pain medication over here like they do in the states, it is very controlled and you get Tylenol for major surgery recovery.
