I have been reading your posts and I feel so bad for you. I am sure many of us here (probably all) have felt the frustration that you are experiencing. I have been my worst here and have had many days when I wanted to give up. The responses and helpful advice and just the support of others have helped me through. On my last dr.'s visit, I asked for a referral to a different rheumy and also a neurologist. I have to ask for everything, nothing is suggested. My dr. told me that I could only get one referral per visit? Who knew? There's always a long wait for specialist appts. where I live but I am sure that is common.
Have you tried changing your diet? I know for me that when I have sugar and gluten products for example, my pain really increases. It is difficult to avoid these components but there is difference. People with fibro often have a host of sensitivities to additives and so on. A craving for sugar is very common too because we want the sugar high in order to feel better and that is very, very hard to deal with when everyone else is enjoying it.
I hope you can work something out. I don't even know for sure what my pain is from right now but it is intense. Everything I experience is put down to fibro so that can be an issue with drs. for sure.
I only take a sleeping pill because I have nothing for the pain and I get crazy when I can't sleep. I also take an anti-anxiety med. but I haven't had it for a few days and my pain has really increased. Your anxiety will cause your pain and distress to be compounded. The past few days I have been taking Hylands Calms for nervousness and insomnia. I think this has really helped me to cope. I take 2 every few hours. It is strange really because drugs that would make other people pass out for hours, have so little effect on me so I am surprised by this. Anyway, I guess you have to insure that these type of natural remedies do not interact with your Rx medications.
Take care and I hope you feel better.View Thread
