Sick and tired of being sick and tired

[Guest guest]

Hello

I am a single mother of four children, oldest 20, youngest 3. About three years

ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Ever since then I have been taking 150

mg of Lyrica 3x a day and 50mg of tramadol 3x a day. Last year had a crazy

breakdown of depression due to trying a new medication and ended up in a psyche

ward for five days. Luckily it was very normal with people mostly with

depression, not crazy. So I have been taking Celexa once a day since that

chaos. In the past I have been in and out of ERs when not having my medication,

I have been stuck in bed for days at a time. I really dont like taking

medication like this, never been one for drugs. I am worried that these meds

might be destroying my liver. I have taken steps over these few years by buying

only all natural or organic foods, chemical free everything in the house and

recently we all have become pescotarians, I think thats what they call

vegetarians who eat fish. I have cut out all HFCS, MSG, preservatives,

artificial anything, white bread, white rice, white sugar, etc. I am still

feeling depressed I think, my chronic fatigue is bad, I can't think straight or

remember anything anymore....my life is chaos and if it weren't for my children,

I probably would have committed suicide by now. I hate my body. It feels 80

years old and I am a young 42.

I have gained around 50lbs, I think from lack of exercise and from the

medication. My pain and weakness its mostly from my waist to my toes. Please

help!!!!

Thank you for your time

PS: I can't find the motivation to quit smoking either....depression and stress
