Hi, I'm a newbie. After a fibromyalgia diagnosis, I had the great misfortune of a MRSA infection which involved 18 days in the hospital and a very close call. Survivor is my middle name and point of pride. But, after 7 years, one area of pain in my back is still devastatingly unbearable. Nothing helps and I feel very isolated with this issue. Still manage an otherwise happy life with great spousal support. hill

Hi Marilyn, im new here too. I was duagnosed with fibro about twenty years ago. It sas it good days and bad days. So sorry you gad to be in hospital im sure it was most difficult. Hoping and praying you get to feel better soon. I use ice and heat alot to help with mine. Ive also been doubling my socks and wearing slippers to add cushion, its been helping.
Take care and talk soon,
Julie
@marilyn624 Don't feel alone most of know some of what your going through. I have fibro as well as other stuff including back pain, but it mostly comes out as sciatic nerve pain in my missing leg and when it hits it is the worst. It is good that you have home support. 19lin

Hello @marilyn624, welcome to Connect. It sounds like you have had quite the journey over the last 7 years, but I love the positive attitude you exude when you say, "Survivor is my middle name."
