Aren't you on an antidepressant? I have fibromyalgia, RA, Sogren's syndrome and spinal stenosis. I am on an antidepressant. I do not take prescription pain meds unless the pain becomes totally unbearable (which is maybe once a month). I don't like them. I am on trazodone to help me sleep, cevimeline for my sogren's and cymbalta for my fibro and depression. I also find massage and warm jetted baths help. Try to keep moving - walking or swimming especially. It is so tempting to just lay down and succumb to the illness, but keeping yourself moving actually helps in the long run. But you can't overdo it. Everyone who has this must find their own balance. Overdoing it means a flare and then you will have no choice but to be in bed for a day or so. But not moving much at all will actually keep you in more pain. I try to stay positive and count my blessings. I try to find humor in something every day. Watching funny movies, etc., can actually help. I will be keeping you in my prayers, sister. God is good. Lean on Him. I find I get what strength I have from the Lord! Hoping you find help in all of these different suggestions from those of us who have been battling this for years and years. Just know that you are not alone and you can still have a life! You are still you! Your body has just changed - and that happens with all of us in one way or another.
