Hi fellow pain warriors. I'm 54. My Fibro took a bad turn 2 1/2 years ago and I'm slowly doing better after having a lot of physical therapy and nerve blocks, ablations, and massage. I've been following Dr. Skip Pridgin's protocol since 11/2018 and am feeling less pain. He's doing a large study using 500 mg of Famcyclovir 2X/day & 200 Celebrex with the morning Famvir. Google him for more info. I also take Methaxalone, Magnesium, Curcumin, D3, a good multivitamin 2X/day, HRT, Imitrex, Plaquenil (am also diagnosed with Lupus), and I just got Botox injections for my migraines. I was a long distance runner, golfer, tennis, cycler etc. etc. It's been quite an adjustment. I'm doing Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Pain which has been very helpful. Other than the constant engulfing pain, I'm happily married, have 3 grown kids and 3 older stepkids, 2 dogs, a cat, a parrot (great chatty companion), and wonderful friends. I'm not dying and try to focus on how blessed I am.
