@tuckerp thank you, regarding Rx's I'm on gabapentin, losartan & Tylenol 4 (with codeine). The gabapentin just makes my brain fog and dizziness worse, but I try to still take it in case it is helping my pain more than I realize. I think I failed to mention all the neurological issues I have as well..balance issues and dizziness, I can't remember things that just happened days ago or conversations that my husband swears we had and I have no recollection of it, days where I struggle to find the right words or can't focus on anything to save my life. I used to be so efficient and could multi task..now I find it difficult to focus on just one thing! It's like my brain feels fuzzy. If that's makes sense. I also have days where my vision is blurry and I can't focus my eyes..like a film over my eyes. Then in just a day or two it's back to normal. I'm rambling now..sorry.
Losartan for high BP and the Tylenol 4 is obviously for pain. But my stomach has gotten so bad some days it will feel like it's on fire. I never take more than 1 at a time and no more than 2-3 a day. Some days my digestive system is wacky. Will have horrible acid reflux/heart burn, nausea..etc. I'm so sorry at this present moment I am feeling all over the place I think I'm just getting a little overwhelmed. I feel like I'm just rambling on and on. But thank you so much for your feedback

@tuckerp thank you! Yes I feel the same about the fibro diagnosis. In no way am I saying it's not real, i just feel that my Dr at the time didn't know what else to call it. So she stuck a label on me for the time being, instead of helping me find answers. I do see a different PCP now and I love him, he is on top of his stuff and seems genuinely concerned in helping me get to the bottom of it. It just requires patience and that is something I lack. But I'm learning to trust my instincts about my body and I won't stop til I get to the bottom of all this. Thank you so much for your feedback I really do appreciate it
