Guest guest Posted October 29, 1999 Report Share Posted October 29, 1999 , I got fibromyalgia nine years ago and experienced many symptoms: fatigue, sore muscles and joints, gastro-intestinal problems, head aches, MS-like symptoms, and sleep disturbance. Some of the symptoms came and went while others, like the fatigue, soreness, and stomach problems were constant. It took me six months to get a diagnosis. I was put on prozac and began to walk, at first only a block. I began to see some improvement after a month and felt much better in four months. I remained on prozac for a year and a half, then gradually backed off. I cannot say that I am fully recovered, but I have learned my limitations. I horseback ride, walk, and bike ride but I make a point of getting a minimum of 8 hours sleep. If I overdo it or try some new activity, my muscles spasm and I am exhausted for a day or two. However, that certainly beats the initial episode of fibro. Hope this helps, a Fibro >a, how did you recover from fibro?
