Soft hugs,
DebView Thread

When I found this site it was a blessing to have others that understood what I was feeling. When I was diagnosed with FM I felt that I had received a "life sentence". That I had been sentenced to a life of pain and exhaustion that would keep getting worse.
I still grieve my previous "healthy" life sometimes. I still shake my fists at the sky at the unfairness of it all somedays. But for the most part I am better than before I was diagnosed. I certainly have found a strength in myself that I never knew existed.
I come here to remember that I am not alone in my fight against the dragon. I come here to vent. I come here to see how others are coping. This is a special place and I am grateful to have stumbled upon it.

My son says that the glass is always full, it's just that half of it is water and the other half air. Just goes to show that it is all in your perspective. I am working on learning to live in a glass full mentality!

I am taking, cymbalta, lyrica, magnesium and nortriptyline. I have tried heat and cold. Any suggestions? It is just too irritating, even my clothes hurt me.
