Hi everyone,
I am hoping to find some advice with other experience Fibro sufferers. I am 49 years old and was diagnosed with Fibro ten years ago after being misdiagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I have major depression, severe fatigue, insomnia and frequent migraines. Plus I am two years post breast cancer with chemo and radiation. I am taking Cymbalta and Lyrica. I am finding that both meds are not working as well but I am at the max dose for Cymbalta. To complicate things in live in rural Cape Breton Nova Scotia where specialists and resources are limited. I am basically at the mercy of my pcp who although very nice has limited knowledge and acceptance of fibromyalgia. I’m wondering if anyone has had success with any other medications or even alternatives.
