Hi, Nascargal, and welcome! Have you been to our Lyme disease forum yet? I'm sure they can give you a lot of help there. If you are getting worse and worse, it's most likely the Lyme causing the problems. Fibro isn't considered a progressive illness. But we can help you with the Fibro symptoms.
I'll share what I do to help my Fibro. These things could help you too. I use ibuprofen with food, Tylenol, magnesium malate, vitamin D3, and a muscle relaxer called Robaxin that had made a significant difference in my pain. I had difficulty walking before I started taking it and the ibuprofen. I also walk daily as a gentle form of exercise and I pace myself when doing things. I have a positive outlook on life and that has helped me immensely with my illnesses.
Be sure to read Fibro 101...the first thread on the forum. There are links to good info about Fibro and you will learn a lot there. Good starting links for you would be Symptoms, What Else Could It Be, and A Thorough Explanation of Fibromyalgia. You just might see yourself there. There are links about the supplements I mentioned above and how they work in the body and also a good link on how to maintain a positive attitude when you have chronic pain. All of Fibro 101 is good so do read it.
I hope you get good answers soon and start to feel better.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you better. Don't hesitate to ask questions because we are here to help you. Hope to hear more from you soon.
