I have my second appt with my rheumy on friday and I'm wanting to try something that might actually keep me out of pain. Last time he gave me Nortrytiline(sp) but it didn't really work. So I'm...

Today is so much worse then yesterday, when I first posted the question. I called in today to my job but I didn't call in till I knew she'd be up. Well she ended up being up early so she took it upon...
Thank you so much Serfena. I really don't want to go inpatient but this job has added so much stress that it's unbelievable. I mean I was already dealing with a lot and was making progress until I...
I'm wondering about the experiences of going inpatient. I personally am still having a hard time. I'm incredibly stressed out with the new job....shoot I was already stressed before the job and now I...
I thought that me getting a job would help out, might be able to help me feel a bit better. But it seems that it's not helping me at all. My boss has her own personal problems and from what I can...
Well one thing has changed in my life just this week in fact. I started a new job, I'm worried that it's gonna get stressful cause I work for a CPA but at this point it's extra money for my family...
Things have been fairly OK here. I actually got a job but I don't think it'll be to stressful and I'll be able to do it since it's secretarial and I can do that in my sleep. Still kinda have rough...
Right now the only side effects I can think of is the increased pulse rate and my vision has been kinda iffy today. I know I've had some pretty explicit dreams but the loving husband was at work so...
Today wasn't really any better. In fact I was trying to talk to dh again about things and he just got up and went to bed. It has made me rather angry but I'm handling those feelings rather well but...
I just woke up feeling off today. I have tried my best to keep it inside. But people in my house just did not even bother to see what was up. The hubs just got mad cause I wasn't talking a whole lot,...
Hi Ed, I have just prescribed Savella it's a new medication that is to be used to help treat fibro, it's an SNRI....it also works as an antidepressant. Pristiq is also a new antidepressant. I've...
Yeah I stopped taking my Pristiq and am on a whole other type of med. They upped my pristiq to 100 mg and that stuff made me feel god awful so I stopped taking it. The only thing that is bothering me...
Yeah today was just crazy with my heart rate. I was just taking a shower and it was crazy but then when I ran some errands it was really bad. I had to stop and take some deep breaths. We have a thing...
I'm still in the beginning days of taking Savella and I haven't gotten the nausea side effect I've been warned about but I sure do have the sped up heart rate. It's something that is taking some...
I'm sorry things are rough right now. I know you feel in the depression aspect of things, I'm there right now and it certainly takes it right out of me some days. I don't have much of a support...
Thanks so much for your words Pippin, they really did mean a lot. I'm still kinda overwhelmed right now, I only got the diagnosis on Monday so it's still kinda sinking in. The most thing I'm getting...
Thanks so much for your words. I haven't posted a whole lot but do plan on posting more. I am reading a lot about bi-polar and am trying to educate myself. It's a bit overwhelming right now and is so...
I had an appt with my new psychiatrist yesterday and I'm on the right road to getting better. But they also started me on Savella for my fibro. If anyone has been on it or knows anything about it I'd...
I had my appt yesterday with my pshyciatrist. It went really well for at least the 1st appt and I go back in 2 weeks. But I guess I'm officially bi-polar. It's all new to me that's for sure, but it...
I have spent a lot of time doing some researching and from what I've read I seem to fit into the Bi-polar category. I wouldn't be surprised that I do have some PTSD from my child hood. I'm just...
3 weeks and I have found out that they have said some really mean and hateful things about[b] me. One of the most hurtful thing was that they said my husband will leave me once the kids grow up...
I mainly just take a muscle relaxer and ambien. I'm sure there is more out there that I could try but the dr I have right now is just well actually a PA so I am getting a referral to a rheumy so that...
Hello, I do not sleep well either unless I have ambien. I'm growing used to the brain fog, some days I'm surprised I remember to do anything at all. Right now I just have muscle relaxers, I'm trying...
I try to remember to put my keys on the key rack but occcasionally that don't happen. I am forever losing my sunglasses. Heck I even sometimes think that I have lost my phone and I'm freaking out...
Thanks so much for the warm welcome. Some of my days are better then others for me, which of course is how we all are. The last few days have been bad ones for me and I just hate feeling like a drain...
