I want to cry reading the discussion tonight, fibromyalgia has such extremes, it seems. A lady at my church told me 'i have it and you can manage, just take tylenol'. When she first told me i had just been diagnosed and the pain i was in, tylenol was not gona help me, i knew. Since then i take lyrica and cymbalta and hydrocodone and all the research i've seen says pain meds don't help but i told my doctor i don't know where they get their info but pain meds DO help. When you are hurting, you get to the point to 'whatever works'. I dont care if i get addicted at this point, i'm just like millions of other women out there. I'm missing some of the most precious times of my life, my childrens lives, and my grandchildrens lives and i feel like people could care less some times, and some times i even think we would all be better off if i would die. Sure they would miss me but they would carry on, they would have too. I just hate that my children and grandchildren will remember me as a person in pain for the length of my 'golden years'. I'm going to the dr tomorrow because now i have a sciatic problem or i think so anyways so now its just another problem. I think the medical community has a long way to go but i hope they get there shortly. Don't think i'm depressed and want to die or kill myself. I'm not going to do that but if anyone with fibro has never thought it, they'd be lying. I would just prefer to be in that beautiful heaven i hear about as opposed to taking pain meds, muscle relaxers, lyrica, cymbalta, tried dlpa (good results by the way), up to 14 or 15 pills a day just to get by. And that isn't a drop in the bucket to what some friends of mine take, one takes 30, of course she has a lot of other problems to go along with her fibro. I guess I should thank the Lord I haven't got all that too... I have joined a support group and it is very helpful, and informative. We try different foods and encourage members who can't come. We DONT sit around and talk about what all is wrong with us. We are currently reading Coping with Chronic Illness, we have special speakers and everyone is free to share. It is biblically based as well and the love of God is always reigning. Besides, whats not to love about a bunch of woman getting together and having a good time?? Just wanta say i love WebMD for this site, I am constantly checking it for new info and my support group has a website is called angelhugsministry.com One thing i have learned beyond a doubt is that this illness is not textbook, for every person that has it, a different treatment works so lets all try to work toward a cure, I volunteer to be the first!!View Thread
