Wow. I'm not sure I'm understanding your idea of "fair" by the editing you did to this post....
Thank you for your support friends...I did not realize this forum was , holding them equal with Christian beliefs. I was looking for Christian support when I found this site. I knew it wasn't...
FCF...I will pray for you today, that God will soften your hardened heart. To the moderators...if our overly "religious" comments aren't to be made on here...I don't think that atheistic comments...

I have taken Lyrica for a few years and it works well for me. The first week is kind of weird feeling mentally. But, that gets better. I did have weight gain, about 10 pounds. The one thing to be...
Thank you Barbo. I appreciate your suggestions and support so much! :) Sometimes I feel like I'm just lazy and I hate that. It's nice to be reassured that it's not my fault. My husband helps alot...
My prayer request was going to be... for the strength to do the things in my home that need done. I want to do so many things right now, but feel so tired and often need to sit or lie down. It seems...
Hi Maria...It's nice to have you here! This forum is so helpful to me. Hope you find comfort and support in it as well as education about our disease. It's nice to "meet" you! :) Take care,...
Riding in the car is very uncomfortable for me. I can't stand to take long trips. When we go somewhere that is an hour or more away, I feel terrible. I have tried to lay down in the back. It is...
Oh my goodness...I don't know what I'd do without my dogs! I have a dachshund/poodle mix, and a rottweiler/golden retriever mix. They are wonderful. They comfort me so much. When I take a rest, they...
I have Mitral Valve Prolapse, but don't have issues with it much. Usually only under great stress. I was diagnosed with it by a heart specialist about 26 years ago. I recently went back for another...

I have had shaky hands since I was a teen. It's not so bad that other people would notice. Another person mentioned that they thought it might be worse when they were hungry, and that has always been...

Thank you Sherrine. I appreciate your reply so much. When I saw your Bible verse...it made me cry. :) (In a good way) :) I'm going to try to get things in order. I've thought many times about "batch...
Hi again friends, I would love to have some advice from you on how to get my life back in order. I am feeling really down on myself, and don't know what to do. I have been a housewife pretty much all...
Hi there...I have the same trouble. I watched "Medical Mysteries" one night, and knew I had my husband diagnosed! LOL! He was waking up tired and groggy, gaining weight, feeling lathargic, etc. I...
This office...even though not at all what I am used to...had me fill out a bunch of paperwork concerning all of my ailments, past pain therapies, medical history, etc. They were very thorough in that...
I have a question for others who have gone to a pain clinic. Did it seem like a normal doctor's office, legitimately run, or did you feel as if you were in a place that at any minute could be shut...
Yes! I get these stinging sensations too. Another member posted that it feels like a bee sting, and that is exactly what mine feels like. I had it on my back the other day, and actually took off my...
I'm stopping by from the depression and fibromyalgia forums to ask a question. My mother has severe anxiety, and panic disorder. She is a very high strung, full of energy person. Recently, my...
Thank you all for the support and kind words. It means so much to know others really understand! :) The dr.'s office left a message today for me to call them...I'm assuming about the appt. for the...
Karen..they haven't called me yet to let me know when my appt. is. I do hope it is soon! Yes, I think he is concerned with addiction. I'm just telling myself it is necessary...just like my...
Hello Friends... I just wanted to share...I went to my family doctor yesterday to talk with him about pain meds (again). I've been down this road so many times. I've heard all the information about...
Hi Karen, The first Doctor I mentioned is my regular family doc. The others are ones in the area I have gone to for second (and third) opinions. My regular doc. just seems to try the same old thing,...
Hi everyone, I am usually over at the fibro section, but am having such a time with my depression, and one of the moderaters suggested I come here for a bit. :) Anyhow, I have been on Paxil 30mg. for...
Another plea for advice...I'm horrible at making decisions. My husband laughs at me because I can't even pick out a purse for myself! Anyhow, I've gone to another local dr. who is very concerned...
Hi there, Yes...the weather is really bothering my legs, hips, knees, etc. :( It always seems to. We were planning an outdoor/swimming day tomorrow...so much for that! The warm sun makes me feel so...
I just made a post earlier today about my dr. appt. He wants to switch me from Paxil to Wellbutrin XL 150. Has anyone taken it?? Do/Did you do well with it? Did you have anger issues with it? I read...
Thank you for your posts...I appreciate them so much! :) Also, thank you Sherrine...I forgot the title! :) I don't want to leave him completely...but I think I will try to go to the other dr. to see...
Hi all...I am so sad. :( I went back to my family doctor b/c I have been so depressed and feeling like my meds are not working. Well, it was like a slap in the face. He went through my list of...
Ewww! And I am one who is addicted to those things! That pretty much ruins it for me! A good thing, I know! :) The ditch by the road, in front of our house seems to be the spot where people like to...
Thank you all...I'm making an appointment with my dr. tomorrow to see if we can get things back in order. I'm hoping... ~DonniesGirl...
Melissa...I sure hope so! There is so much to go through with this! I'm glad to hear you got approved! :) DonniesGirl...
Well, another step in the process. I had to agree to go to a psychiatrist and be "evaluated". It was early in the morning, so I couldn't think straight anyway. (My best time is evening) He had a...
tyno3, Well, you are right on about the hydrocodone and the tramadol. The hydrocodone helped a lot, but no doctor's around here are willing to prescribe it, unless you have had back surgery, or are...
I thought maybe some of you might like to look at this site for additional information: [b] .com/]http://chronicfatigue.about .com/ . It has information about chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. There...
Kerri, I'm right there with you. I felt wonderful all last summer. This summer it's been a lot different. I think it's because we haven't had many real "summery" days here. It's sad that Fibro has...
Thank you all. I'm trying to struggle through, and talk to God throughout it. I am making an appointment with a new dr. that I found in my area that is a family doc, but is very symplathetic and...
I'm feeling so depressed. :( I don't know if it is my meds or not, but I think so. I am taking Tramadol 50's up to 8 pills per day, and Lyrica 100's twice per day. I am also on Paxil. Do you think...
I did try the Blue Emu stuff...it didn't do anything for me, but maybe I didn't use it long enough. I didn't get any instant relief or sensation like with BenGay or Aspercreme. :( ~DonniesGirl....
Hi Ivy, As for me, the fatigue is a feeling like my arms and legs weigh a ton. I feel like I just can't drag my body around anymore. The only way to get relief is to lie down for a while, and...
Maybe you're right...I need to get a fancy fan to carry! But...fanning makes me sweat!!! :) LOL! Thanks all! I appreciate you so much! Luv, Donniesgirl...
Hi there...so sorry to hear about your headaches. :( I was having a problem with them once in a while, and my doc put me on blood pressure medicine. It supposedly thins the blood, and helps with...
Thanks everyone...I forgot to mention that I too get the night sweats about three days before my "time of the month". I have a feeling that I'm in the beginning stages of menopause...(I'm 39)...
I've been having a really annoying problem, and wondered if anyone else has this. Anytime I do any work, primarily outside, I sweat so profusely, that I have to carry around a hand towel to wipe my...
I would love to do this, and need to do it! The things I've accumulated drive me crazy, but I always think I'll "need" it later! I used to watch a tv show called "Neat". I loved it, and it always got...
More news about my SSI attempt...I received a phone call from them asking if I would be willing to see a psychiatrist about my depression if they paid for it. I agreed, so I'm set up for an...
Thanks again for the replies. I went to my fist therapy session, and the therapist showed me stretches to do and did ultrasond therapy on my arm. (No heat darn it...that's what feels good! :) ) I've...
