Fibromyalgia pain: Let's connect
Is there anyone here that suffers from fibro? I had the 'tender spot test' several years ago and I had 17 out of the 18. I try my hardest to get through the pain with my 4 hydrocodone/acetaminaphine pills a day, Tiger Balm rubbed into areas that are the worst, light exercises, and distracting myself with hobbies or chores, etc; but there are many occasions where none of that helps and I spend most of the day holding down the couch, getting up about 30-45 minutes after that, walking/standing around the house for 15-20 minutes, or sitting for about 15-30 min. I do not drive and my husband works 6 days a week, overtime almost every day, so I'm alone a lot. my wonderful husband is very supportive and I am very grateful for that, but my only other friends are online, out of state, and I will probably never even get to meet them. when extreme pain takes over, my depression takes over and it is so difficult to find hope. does anyone have tips for fibro, whether diet or over-the-counter meds (I've tried them all, I think), or anything, besides hobbies and such? I've tried every over-the-counter med, and the Tiger Balm does cover some of what the pain pill doesn't help, but I'm hoping one of our members might have some knowledge that could help. I'd really appreciate it.

I am way over that. My infusion is expensive is twice that amt already. Well if my secondary insurance along with Medicare dies not cover I will soon be on our license assistant. I pay almost ,300 a month for my secondary to back up my medicare.
My medicare book probably got thrown in trash. My suppliment is nearly 300 a month. I pray I can keep that up
Also self employed pay two sides of social security. Employer side ME and enployee side Me. Should get double medicare right WRONG
I did drop my SS and took his. But together we had his and mine and his VA benefits
What a beautiful email victoreous. I too rely on my Lord. My husband has gone home. Just think today he could see Jesus and Billy Graham . Wow! We will make it. God allowed this fir some reason. I think mine because he CD never get me to slow down and read His Word.
Yes!
Praise God. And all the side thing that I have because of my infusions and my once a week self inflicted shots. But without these treatments I WD not be walking around. I also have this stupid rash on my body which is almost gone and my mouth rash.
Good Rumie best choice. Be careful. I stayed with my primary and he was dangerous to my illnes. My Ra got worse as it was not treated.
Same with marijuana. They put on a campaine calling it a drug. Now people are afraid of it. In Oregon it's everywhere. I CD get it when I needed it. Not in Texas
My doctor can authorize my use. She looked me almost angry when I asked for it
