My first rheumatologist told me that my best medicine wouldn't come in a bottle; I was disappointed as I so needed help to last a day with fibromyalgia. Most doctors at the time weren't supporters of the fibro diagnosis. It's in your head! Yes, I'd agree and in the rest of my body as well. I never thought that someone could live with constant pain, till I had constant pain! I had to develop a survival plan for myself.
Cymbalta was great but I needed to increase the Kdosage to continue the relief effect; depression was settling in; when was I happy or how had I found relief before? Funny, it was when I was helping someone else; I felt good about myself that I could have such a powerful yet positive effect on others. But I also knew I needed to be careful to keep my tank full. Balance. Sometimes I had to close my office door, so to speak. I had to help guide others to where my 'waters' were flowing from. So, I took my crafting abilities and started making a like book called "Comfort from the Scriptures". My research for such scriptures kept me up while making the books kept me occupied. Have you found such to be your case? I've made over 500 of these little books and am currently looking to freshen things up with a 'sequel'. 😊 It is time for me to be refreshed myself. I could go on, but does anyone get my point?

Glad you found your calling with the “little books”. I’ve been so desperate for sleep, I didn’t focus on why I wasn’t sleeping. Before Covid slept well 7-8 hours. Last night I fell asleep ((about two hours)but woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep. Then anxiety kicked in and I had to take a hypnotic. My issue is not fibro ( sorry to hear you have it) I just don’t sleep or if by the rarest chance I do it is short lived. I’m very desperate, tired and feeling I’ll never get better. I don’t want to be a “Debbie downer” so I’ll stop going on and on. Thanks for reaching out, I appreciate your effort and time.
