Hello. I believe I have Fibro also. Even though my doctor called it something else. My aunt has it and she kept telling me I had it and I kept dismissing her. I was going to the doctors for pain and numbness in my hands. When I went nothing was going on so pretty much I was pronounced crazy I am sure. One doctor went so far as to say I was trying to get false worker's comp and I was not even filing for workers comp. The rhematory doctor I went to called it myalga even though I had a lot of the trigger points. Most doctors do not or did not believe in Fibro. so I was dismissed of wanting pain meds. No, I am not addicted to anything. I have a problem taking medicine because I do not want the side effects or the after effects. Besides trying different medication for depression some which is used for Fibro. I did not stay on them long because of side effects. I did notice that water therapy did the most good for me. Could not continue to go because of money issues but I know after a few sessions I felt so much relief from pain. I was on 12 different medication at one time when I realized I was taking one medicine to compensate for another and so on. I got off of all of them but the IBS medication and muscle relaxer. These I take as needed so am not on them all the time. The rest I through away and did feel better for the most part. The medicine was causing me more problems than the problem itself. I am not a doctor or nurse so this is my own personal observation. Everyone is different and different things help them that did not help me. Am I still in pain. Yes all the time. I learned if I moved instead of just sitting or laying down I feel better. Walking is good for you. Some days the pain is worse than others. Some day my depression is worse than others. I get by in thinking to my self there is people out there so much worse than you are and I need to just keep going and quit feeling sorry for myself. I believe God has brought me around too. This is my own personal experience and I am not telling any of you that you should do the same. Everyone is different and I pray you find the right medication and right exercise for you. God bless.
