"maybe I am not sick, maybe I am just lazy.....I should be picking myself up and getting busy....I should be getting focused and getting out and getting back to work."

Survivor2007

I have had Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue for about 12 years. My life has changed soooooooo much. I cannot do the things I once loved plus putting up with the side affects of meds. You hit me in the heart when you said, "maybe I am just lazy" that has gone through my mind time after time. As I sure you really know, you are not lazy nor am I! I think when we cannot get up and do the normal things we use to do, our mind starts looking for reasons because we get depressed. My heart goes out to you. I take Cymbalta and Lyrica and I know they help but are the side affects worth it? I don't know! As you said both are so expensive that I feel bad for even taking them. Even with my insurance I am paying up to $400 per ninety days and about $300 for the other. What do you mean by the manufactor's discount? To be straight forward and not to depress you.......massage is the only thing that has worked for me. The problem....$$$$$ and the results only last a short time. Getting out and going somewhere helps me mentally but getting that "push" to even go out is very hard. I am not trying to discourage you, as I am 64 yrs old and I am sure my age doesn't help. Never had any "ear problems" before this past summer. I began having pain, drainage and went to our Urgent Care about three times. At first they treated it as a sinus infection and ear infection. The last time I went the doc. said my ear drum had burst. A lot of useless meds and $$$$$$$ for those meds. When my ENT doctor got back in town I went to him. Before he had examined me he said it is probably a fungus. It was! He had to vacumn out my ear (no pain) and blow in a powdered medicine. After about two more visits it did clear up. I hope this doesn't have anything to do with Fibro but I had not been in the pool nor outside in the humidity that much. I have no idea where it came from. I feel bad writing you with the all this negative stuff! Please email me if you would like. raalex1949@yahoo.com View Thread
