I wished you asked 2 things, LOL But I would have to say the chronic fatigue , with the pain meds I can deal with some pain but the fatigue is to much... I am 43 and I feel like I am in my 90's, sometimes I get really upset because I can not even keep up with daily tasks, or can't go to some events because I know I will get really tired and than wont enjoy it, there has been times I push myself, and I will vomit from being so tired... that was a really good question..View Thread
Hi, I have had and have every symptom you mentioned, and have heard everything they have to say about it not being a diagnoses well thats all because they know it is something they just don't know what. I also had mono and in my research many years ago had read there is a link between the two, if I can find it again I will let you know but to sum it up for you to be able to deal with this is a big life change, stress was a Big factor in causing the symptoms, I had to slow my life down alot, I do a little, than rest, than back up, and I had insomnia so my pain would be worse from not having sleep. I am about 17 years in and it is better because I know what triggers it, I eat better as far as meds they can always change because something that worked can stop and than you have to try something else it is all guess work , I still have bad day's but you do learn it. I feel it's all the chemicals in our food and surroundings that has alot to do with it.. Best wishes hope everything works out for you..View Thread
Sorry you are going through this, I too went through the same thing many years ago, it took me along time to finally get someone to do something to help me , The whole issue with this is They don't know what causes it and alot of Dr's dont know what to do or how to treat it, I heard many Dr's say they don't believe in fibromyalgia , so I got mad and said fine, if it's not that, than find out what it is, I am in pain and something has to be done, sad but you have to keep going untill you find a good Dr that is willing to figure it out with you, because they can write a pain med for it. I know in my state they have to answer for every script written, but if you have a good Dr. he will want to help. The main thing I changed is stress, I stay away from it, keep it out of my life as much as I can, I even had to put some people out of my life or at least a distance, and change to a slower life style.. Best of luck and hope everything works out.. DorisView Thread
