Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 I am very new to this and am hoping to get some help. I am a divorced 33 yr old woman. I am a single mom to 2 young children (4 & 6 years old). I have just recently been diagnosed by my general physician as having fibromyalgia. She also ran some tests and said that I am positive for rheumatoid arthritis. She has placed me on Cymbala for depression and Celebrex for pain. She has allowed me 15 vicodin per month. They don't work anyway. I am having a horrible time functioning and the Celebrex is making me nauseaus and is making my headaches even worse. I am the sole supporter of us, so missing work is not an option. I am so tired and achy, I am crying in the mornings and evenings and have actually had to cry in the restroom at work, but put up a smile for everyone else to see. My friends think I am being " overly emotional " and I'm feeling very weak and disappointed with myself. I love my daughters, but feel like after dinner, dishes, bath, cuddling and books, that I can't move anymore. Am I crazy?? Will this ever get better? I have an appointment in January with a Arthritis doctor. Is this a good thing, or will he dismiss me as being a whiner?? Please help me understand this better. Thank you so much.
