Need Fibro Help ASAP!

[Guest guest]

Ok, well I have been part of this group for several months. I lurk

most of the time and will try to do better at posting.

I have a Dr appt tomorrow. I am not real good at keeping up with my

health and being a mom and wife (those of you know what I mean) I put

everyone else before me.

Well my Internist will no longer refill my depression meds without

seeing me, which I understand. I haven't seen him in about a year

and a half. I was diagnosed with Fibro about 5 years ago or so and

I'm almost 40.

I've been struggling with depression, anxiety and the fact that I

pretty much feel like crap most of the time. I'm resigned to the

fact that it is my Fibro and that is what my life is. I'm just tired

of not having energy, the pain, etc.

I push myself to stay active. If I had my way, I would stay at home

most of the time and not do much. Having 4 children, I also realize

that that isn't an option.

So what I'm asking is what should I talk to the Dr about? Any of you

have any suggestions as to what is working for you? I'm at a loss

and am hoping that he will have some answers for me. I really like

this Dr and he is very understanding.

I feel like I'm at a point where I wish I could just go on

disability. Due to the fact that I just never know when I'm going to

have a bad couple of days and need to just sit because of the pain.

Trying to keep a job at this point is very difficult.

Any insight that those of you that are more experienced at this,

please post or email me.

Blessings,
