I read your story. I was dx: in 2003 with Fibro and 2006 approved for SSI. It was not even recognized as a disease in 2003, I can hear where you are coming from I was there. One being alone all day is probably causing you some depression I did but there is the help. Also, all the trigger points i have 16. I took Norco 6x for 6 yrs until i realized that those drugs were killing me. Had my doctor put me on Tramadol 3xday only 50 mg and savella 100mg 2xd. I know you say you don\'t drive but if you want to know what i did you would have to figure out how to get there. I joined the gym aqua therapy is a blessing your weightless. I even got myself into the gym after the therapy and took it slow. I found the light impact very slowly to start. I felt better. Did not help with the sleep issues we do not go into Rem sleeping crazy. Hope my words helped you.

I got a diagnosis of fibromyalgia a year ago, but the rheumy did not want to see me after she made that diagnosis. She didn't even want to give me pain dr. referrals. I am on my own for now but will try to find another rheumy although I don't know what they can do for me. I am not educated about MALS, but wishing you well.

Thank you. I'm sorry you are on your own. It doesn't sound like a very good dr if she just diagnosises you and then does nothing about. Just keep educating yourself and find a dr that can help. I know that is easier said than done, I'm doing that now myself. Good luck. I wish you well
