To All Who responded to Elavil

[Guest guest]

Hi ALL;

As far as Elavil goes, it's helping me sleep, but she started me out

on a low dose. So already waking up again and ready for higher

dose.But at least I'm not waking up 4 to 5 times per night, and not

waking up so tired. And for the ones who it makes hyper, you're right

it does affect us differently. She started me out on Desiperamine,

and

said most do very well with it. But not me, the Desiperamine made me

feel like the Elavil made you feel. All hyper,my mind wanted my body

to gogogo! but my body wouldn't let me,and talking a mile a minute.

So

maybe the Desiperamine would affect you like Elavil affects me.

And about the auqua therapy, it is making me worse. I hear it is

good for people with just Fibro, but not a good thing for people like

me, that also have Myofacial. My research tells me spray and

stretching is the way to go first,then therapy. But who really knows?

Does anyone have any insight to that? Would appreciate any comments.

And also my daughter found Daycare! Thank God! I love my grandson,

but he is a toddler and it was really taking me down.I don't believe

she was using me, but do believe she was dragging her feet because

Grandma is the best babysitter! And she,like all my family,except my

mom, just doesn't understand how much pain and fatigue I have.I have

always been the strong one in this family and done men's work, and

they just don't want to accept the fact that mom can't do it any

longer. I can't either, but it would help if they would just do some

reading on this so they CAN understand. Can anyone tell me how to get

them to sit down and read this literature I have printed out on

this??

I know I am always asking for help, but it seems someone here always

helps me find ways to get through, when I can't. I want to thank you

all just for being here for me, don't know what I would do without

ya!

You're a great group of people:).................(jasmintine)
