Hey group, Kristin here, just another spoonie. So recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease. I am struggling to find the right doctor to treat me. One wants me on this med and the other wants me that one. I am currently on lyriaca and cymbalta twice a day. I really feel that neither are working. I mean one day i wake up and feel like my skin is on fire, the next day i wake up covered in brusies from whatever it was i did the day before. Then the next i can hardly move from the exhaustion that has taken over from the previous two days.
This past month i have developed tremors. Got a MRI and blood work done and guess what?! Yup you guessed it blood work normal. I just want answers! And my husband and family dont understand the sturggle.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Chronic Pain Support Group.

What specialists are you currently working with (neurologist, orthopedic spine specialist, endocrinologist, hematologist, rheumatologist)?

Have you been tested for small fiber neuropathy (with skin punch biopsy)? Are you diabetic? Have you had your thyroid checked? Are you going through perimenopause or menopause now?
