Guest guest Posted February 8, 2008 Report Share Posted February 8, 2008 After 19 months of a total " fcuk up' of misdiagnosis I got my FMS label. The Dr put me on a whole bunch of new stuff " guaratanteed to make me feel better. After 3 days my BP hit 50/30 and I hit the floor, obviously no one is supposed to have blood pressure that low so my body went into cardiac shut down to preserve the heart. I got a friend to race me to the GP who I had never met and I went over everything I was on and having taken it by " the book " I was told I could not get addicted nor would I have any major side effects. WRONG SO SO WRONG. Well having your heart go into shut down is a major side effect to me so, I DID IT, I took myself off all the crappy pain killer, valiums. lamactil, Endep, Indocid and on and on and on. I went no more part in this, I can't do this at all. After 3 days of detox hell, which they swear could not happen since I wasn't on enough to have one, I am finally free, I got book called " new Hope with FMS " and it explains how each med works and why mixing them together is such a bad idea. So I substituted all the prescription meds with natural remedies, making sure I didn't make it worse and I don't care what anyone says I just did " DETOX " and it hurt like hell. The good news is that despite not being able to sleep I have however managed to control my pain using natural patrapathic remedies (the book explains which ones and why), I don;t need scripts (so I don't need Dr's) and more importantly I now OWN my FMS it does not own ME. I am still in pain and my world still feels like crap but golly I am not addicited to anything and I was strong and stubborn enough to say, I am going to be the 25% that can make it through this without going mental. Although the Dog does have to go, which I hate but it has to happen so tears and tantrums but I am writing the letter back to his rental firm, no dog means no problems in the street, well I hope not, But I did it, I did it, I thought I would go mad or kill myself coming off these drugs it hurt so much but I am off them now and never again will I let a DR tell me they KNOW what they are doing.
