I always hated Daylight Savings Time. And that was pre-fibro, I can't imagine what it would do to me this day in age. Luckily Arizona doesn't observe, so my clocks are staying the way they are. :)...
@Tamz @Sherrine I did do some very gentle yoga today, and it did help. I was surprised about how much better I felt after just a few minutes. Hopefully this turns out to be a good path for me, it...
@tiggerrluvr Unfortunately for me my body doesn't seem to react to pain killers. I have tried vicadin, percuset, tramadol, and one other and no results whatsoever. I actually felt worse after taking...
I have been in a flare-up for 5 weeks now, and I feel like I can barely function. I'm trying to get into a pain clinic, but they are scheduled out until late May, so that does me no good right now....
My flares last anywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks. I'd say most of them last around 3 to 4 weeks with a week or two afterward of manageable pain....
Any amount of travel wears me out tremendously. I have never been one to get tired in the car. Ever since the fibro set in, I get exhausted even from even a short five minute car ride. Long...
I am 16, and not working yet, but I have had to cut back my hours at school. I went from a rigorous program with six classes, to a very light weight schedule with only four classes. My rhuemotologist...
Yes and no. Being 16 with no other health problems, it is easier for me to measure my fibromyalgia pain. I would say that the pain is constant so far, but the symptoms aren't. When my symptoms first...
Oh those Lyrica commercials crack me up! They (IMO) undermine fibromyalgia and what we go through. My dad's friend's wife is an ER doc, and she said that since those commercials came out, there are...
Marlee2: It really is a great investment, especially for those of you with families, it will get a lot of use, that's for sure! Carnissa: I was surprised too, I wasn't expecting to be able to benefit...
As crazy as it sounds, I have found that stretching is best (at least for me). Maybe talk to your doctor about some physical therapy or aquatic therapy. If the percocet helps, perhaps take on a set...
tennisdoc09: I agree 100%! I love everything about it. It is nice to get on, and have fun while your exercising. I also love how it advises you when exercising and setting goals, that way you're not...
I thought I would point this out, since it has helped me so much, maybe I can help someone else in the process. I have found that the Wii Fit has really helped me with my flare-ups. Every time I feel...
Chutz, I totally understand where you're coming from. I think my doctor understands too. I told him today that I didn't want to touch anything that has a black box warning associated with it, that's...
I feel your pain. We are in the process of selling our house, and for the past two weeks I have been up and down cleaning and leaving for showings and then coming back home and doing it all again the...
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in June 2009. I have been in aquatic therapy since July, and I have felt much better. However, PT has not helped with my symptoms as much as I need, and I am...
