Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Hi , thank you for the welcome. I am actually having a bad flare of pain due to the doctor poking and prodding me (happens every time I go to the doctors for just about anything). This is one of the worse ones I have had in a long time - I should be doing homework for school, but there is no way I can concentrate tonight. I will catch up tomorrow while at work. Thanks Christi Randall www.singingwomenoftexas.com Re: New Member Hey Christie I am a new member also, about a week now and these people on here are helping me already...They have given me some insights on things that I had not thought about..I haven't been that active, just been reading alot.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 yep the Dr said to me that the reason we are all on different meds is because part of the disease is a sensitivity to " allergies' etc so what works for one can't be given to another. When it comes to the sensitivity side of things you never know what you are going to react too. Re: new member Hi . I am Jerilyn joined about 5 mmonths ago also when I was just diagnosed. Welcome. You will find people are very supporive here. I also have used the phrase " hit by a mack truck " cuz thats exactly what it feels like. I always had severe pain in my legs since having FM, so I would also say it felt like I ran a ten mile marathon. And the fatigue was horrific. I am on Cymbalta for my pain and Lunesta for my insomnia. I have felt sooo... much better since taking the Cymbalta. What have you been prescribed? You will see alot of people take a variety of different drugs here, because obviously everyone reacts differently meds. And some people have it worse than others. I hope you find the right meds for you. Sometimes it can be a lengthy process to find the right thing. Or you can be lucky like me and find the right drug right away, which is what I hope is the case. Good luck and I am sorry you have been dx with this, but keep your head up and know it can be very manageable. Jerilyn > > Hello everyone, > > My name is ,I am 40 yrs old and was just diagnosed with fibromyalgia this morning. Never imagined that I would be told that. I thought my iron dropped AGAIN. For the last 3 weeks I have had chronic fatigue and I HURT!!! Last year a friend of mine who has fibro told me I needed to talk to my doctor about because she said thats what is wrong. Well until 3 weeks ago I would have pain here and there same with the fatigue.Again thought it was my iron.Now I am in alot pain and its hard to stay awake most days. I have no trouble falling asleep but I wake up about 3x a night. When I do wake up in the morning after falling back to sleep again,I feel like I been hit by a truck!!!! I joined this group to get more information about the condition,to talk to other people who have it and for SUPPORT.Looking forward to chatting with yall. > > > > > --------------------------------- > Never miss a thing.
