new to group

[Guest guest]

hello - I just joined the group.

I am 26 years old and have had fms for at least 15 years,though I

wasn't diagnosed until after my first year of college. I was told I

have a mild case, meaning I can work 30 hours/week without too many

problems. I think, though, that I am pushing too hard. I live with

my parents, which is helpful when I am in pain, because I can't

afford not to.

I am looking for ways to improve. I practice Tai Chi/Qi Gong, go to

a one-on-one pilates session regularly, and physical therapy as

well. I take Trazodone each night, which helps significantly. I

started taking it after my diagonosis, and suddenly could stay mostly

awake for 9 am classes!

I still feel like there is something else I should be doing. But I

am tired of trying new things. I spent alot of time when i was

younger going in and out of doctors offices, with no good results.

I'm frustrated that I can't seem to do anything that I want. I guess

I still haven't fully accepted fms.

Well, I'm glad to have found this group. I hope everyone is as well

as they can be.
