Hi my name is Elaine and I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan Canada. I just turned 75 and I was diagnosed in the early 1990’s though I believe it began with trauma in early childhood. I think I have tried pretty much everything out there. Currently I am on Suboxone and Tylenol Arthritis for pain, Zopliclone for sleep and am weaning off duloxetine for depression. Duloxetine is very difficult to get off of and I suffered severe depression twice that lasted weeks while taking it. I am down to 39 mg from 60 mg in just over a month. I removed some of the beads from the capsule to wean off more slowly. I use topical cannibas cream that my husband makes and it works very well. I also have interstitial cystitis and have infusions in my bladder every two weeks to keep that in control. Over the years I have had pretty much everything that can be removed surgically. It started with my appendix when I was sick, found out years later there was nothing wrong with it. Then my uterus, a few months later one ovary and a few years later the other ovary and my gallbladder at the same time. A couple of years ago part of my colon was removed as I had diverticulitis almost continuously for over a year. This all sounds bad but I live a pretty good life in spite of my problems. I have a supportive husband kids and friends.i have always taken high quality supplements and been willing to try alternative medicine. I really hope those of you in excruciating pain find some relief and are able to carry on pain or not. Hugs to my fibro friends!🤗🙏💕
