Hi ,

It's nice to meet you all too. So glad there are such nice

people here that know what is going on!! Now everything is coming together why I

am having such flair ups lately. I was injured at work by one of our residents.

She head butted me in the mouth and now I have 2 herniated disks in my neck. ( I

need a new job, can't physically do it anymore) PT has been VERY painful for me.

The Dr does not want to do surgery. He says there are plenty of people walking

around like me that do just fine and I have no nerve damage so he will not fix

it. I don't DARE tell the Dr I have Fibro as I know they will try to blame

everything on that!! Then they will try and send me back to work like I am or

make me go on disability. I can not afford that. This has been much worse since

my neck injury. I have been taking ibuprohen for the neck pain the last month.

Before I was taking some other stuff but trying not to take it regular. I HATE

taking MEDS and will go along time

with pain before I take anything. The injury was 7 mo. ago but as time goes on

my neck symptoms lessen but my fibro symptoms seem to flare up more. Thank You

for your reply and your insight.

Blessings

Welcome to our fibro family Penny. That is my Mom's name. :-) the

group is

awesome. a great deal of support, love and kindness. I hope you find that

also. I am sorry you are going through so much pain. I hope things improve

soon. i think flexeril at night sounds like a plan. I also recommend taking

the a.d. at night too, to avoid any side effects. tha tis what works for me.

Nice to meet you.

Hugs,
