Hi I am new to all this but have had Fibro for many years but just didn't know it til it progressed badly. I have been seeing different doctors for different ailments for years with no answers. Gastro docs...ortho docs...mri's with spine docs....er with panic attacks where I thought I was having a heart attack and even a psych. and finally got a diagnoses last year. I no longer work because of ibs and chronic fatigue. I have been gluten,dairy,soy,and sugar free for 8 months. I have severe reactions to most of these foods and even tho I follow it I can't shake the ibs symptoms. Still trying to figure out weather issues as it is warm here in Texas right now but the wind is blowing and humidity is up. Thought when it warmed up I would feel better but I don't. I try to trick my brain into thinking all is well but it's not. I used to be so active til I got hit with this bus but now I hardly leave the house. I have been under a lot of stress in the last two years and I have never handled stress well. When do things improve? I just turned 51 and feel like I have lost my life. My husband is gone over half the week because he is forced to commute now and he is my only support. My kids are grown and gone and all othr family lives in another state. I have multiple chem.sensitivities to meds but take hydocodone for the worst days and a lot of other vitamins because of def. How do you cope when you are alone most of the time and keep your sanity and will to live?
