Fibromyalsia

[Guest guest]

Evening, I have been off line for a while due to my resent troubles

with pain. It seems that for over 3 weeks I haven't been able to move

my head and neck. The pain in my shoulders,neck, and back have made

it impossible for me to even sit at the computer to read the post. I

called my Rheumy's office and they told me to see my Family Dr. (this

was 2 weeks ago).

I went to family Dr. and he said it's just a pulled muscle. I have

been going to a physical therapist since then. Every night after

therapy I'm in worse shape. I started having pain in other areas of

my body. I had nothing to take for relief so I could at least eat.

(When I am in such pain I can't eat, I get sick, literally!) I am now

at 98 pounds.

I saw my Rheumy today and he said I have fibromyalsia(sp?). Is this

something that any of you have been told you have, on top of the RA?

With everything that I have I am to the point of depression of no

return. My husband doesn't know about this recent diagnosis. I don't

feel like hearing " now what " , or " what next " . He was supportive for a

while but with feeling worse with no reason for it, he isn't very

understaning about all this pain.

Right now I just need someone to help me deal with all of this and

someone who will just listen. I'm sorry this is so long but I really

don't know what else to do. I have to go lay down. Just typing this

has my neck and shoulders hurting and it's causing a really bad

headache.
