You do what you can when you can. You don't have to explain anything to anyone...especially you medical issues.
It should be on a "need to know basis".
Quit trying to please everyone....Just take it easy and take care of yoursel. because no one else is going to do it for you....View Thread

For me the switch off from some relief to other symptoms were not worth it. That was all of them..
I just live on advil & Ibuprofen 800. My mind is so much clearier than it was on the medication.
It has been about 3yrs since I threw all the junk out of my medicine cabinet. Mentally could not be happier, still have FM flares & bad days, but deal with them the best I can.View Thread

Both are very controlable, don't stress...
Your muscles pains & aches could very well be your thyroid level.
I have been on thyroid medication for the last 19yrs. Now I am not a diabetic so can't say much there. Is it type 1 or type II?View Thread




The lady said she had FM & could not do any type of movement, except the bed & recliner.
The ex-husband & clinical psychologist both said, she was using FM as an excuse to get out of doing things she did not want to do.
Everytime they attempted to clean the house she said she was having a flair & had to go lay down.
The house was a huge "trash can". Trash had not been taken out in 3 yrs. She said she could not move, however, the ex husband reminded her "she goes on vacation & goes shopping" & the doctor NEVER said, "do not move".
She did eventually get the house clean and only because CPS was about to remove the kids.View Thread

I work because it keeps me sane....Is it painful to move at times, YES, but I would go crazy & get depressed being at home.View Thread
