This is one success & my fibro will not keep me down & I will let no one hold against me. My lawyer told me that the case we are working on at the moment is a lot harder to get dismiss so the next case will be a breeze.
Thanks for letting me vent & share my victory. There is hope & no I feel great...so much stress taken off me. They (my ex &etc.) my not understand what I am going through but the ones that support me are a blessing. Blood or not..you find out who your family really is when you going through tough times.View Thread

I know it is very frustrating when doing simple housework is literally a pain in the @$$ and everywhere else. I also see a counselor which helps with the emotional side of dealing with the pain from fibro. As for the medicine I don't know because I haven't found anything that works. However, I was told by my aunt that exercising in a pool helps. I am going to try it out.
I pray you find some type of relief.View Thread

After speaking with my counselor on Monday, me & her believes that every happens for a reason. This showed me that people can they can say I can't do something put proved that I still can. That I know I may not be able to return to work but my goal is just to be able to do things around the house like I use to be able to do. That way I still feel like I am contributing.
Thanks again for listening & I pray for everyone.View Thread

I don't have insurance & just living off of unemployment for now. Pfizer who makes Lyrica has a patient assistance program that helps those who can't afford their medication.

When I lost my insurance I found a place that offers counseling & payment is based on income & they have a nurse practitioner on staff also. I don't know what area you live in but maybe there are some near you.
I went to a health food store & the owner suggest Curamin, its all natural, he said another customer said it helps with her fibro pain that she notice a difference after 2 weeks.
I hope this information helps & my thoughts & prayers will be with you.View Thread

Another question, was does DH stand for?View Thread

Just wondering if anyone else has tried counseling or found a fibro support group, which is next on my list to do.
My thoughts & prayers to all those dealing with fibromyalgia.

I didn't realize it until I went to see a new doctor that I actually have migraines & I didn't realize it. Last July, the left side of my face went numb & eye & mouth was drooping. I went to the ER & after they ran all different kinds of test they told me it could have been a migraine which I didn't understand because I my head didn't hurt. However, now that I have seen this new doctor he explained it better to me. That I can have migraines with the actually pain and that when my left eye goes blurry that is could also be a migraine. When you have your headaches or notice anything different write down what happens & for how long & that will help out your doctor. That is what my dr suggest I do since with fibro fog I could not remember certain things.
Also, I can also have a pain say in my hip & then next my hand or wrist starts with stabbing pain or it could be multiple places at a time. I can get the bruise feeling type spots in different places also, without even hitting anything. I had one spot start while I was setting in bed & next thing I felt was like someone just frogged my arm with all they had. Just the wonderful thing about fibro, you never know what is coming next.
Take care
