Hi , I have been wondering about the pepsi, I too drink a lot of diet

pepsi and I have a lot of pain and when I get up in the morning I always feel

like I have been run over by a truck, I quit smoking in 1984 and I have been

thinking of starting to smoke again but they costs so much now I don't think I

could pay 3 dollars for a pack of them,I have also through of drinking whiskey

or something like that I have never been a drinker but if I though it would help

I would try it. I know how you feel about not being able to do your work, but

some days I just have to let a lot of it go and then I get behind and I don't

think I ever get caught up. I don't think they are any easy answers to what

works for fibro, I have been getting in my hot tub and it helps my neck pain but

some people say that it makes them feel worse so I guess we all just have to

keep trying different thing until we find what works for us.I just wondering if

pepsi do make us feel worse.,maybe we should quit drinking them to see if we

feel better. Audie

Im new with questions

Hello! I am a just turned 30 year old female. I was diagnosed with

fibromyalgia during the summer of 2000 I have always had neck and

upper back pain, but started having a painful middle finger on my

left hand along with the back pain. It was not swollen but felt stiff

and painful all the time. I had a bad spell in Nov. of 00. I woke up

and could not lift up out of bed due to horrible right shoulder pain.

My husband massaged my shoulder for 2 months before it went away. So

far I am functional, just in constant dull pain. My youngest son was

diagnosed with Legg Calve Perthes disease last year and I had to do

therapy with him 3 times a day for a year. Between the worrying and

therapy I did with him I ended up on zoloft and nerve pills, but have

since quit those. As I get older and when stress comes up I become

less functional. It isnt real bad pain, but mostly exhaustion, I

think from dealing with constant low grade pain. If I do alot in a

day the next day I am wiped out. One thing about this disorder I do

know is that I quit smoking for 2 months and didnt have any pain

after a few weeks of not smoking. How many of you are smokers? Does

exercise work? How about giving up caffeine? I drink 10 cans of pepsi

a day. I am not overweight. 5'4 " and 120 lbs. I feel if I would gain

weight I wouldnt be able to carry myself around. I am a very high

strung nervous person. I am tired of being tired and dont want to

take medication. I am starting to feel as if I cant do as much as I

once could and my husband can work circles around me and I am tired

of it. He will work all day as a cement finisher (hard work) and then

come home and help me clean and do kids homework. I appreciate his

help, but he shouldnt have to do as much as he does. I wake up

feeling like someone beat me in my sleep. I will welcome any replies.

Thanks

The person who made the hot tub is a GENISIS!!!!......My ex's aunt has a hot

tub and she told me that I could go get in it anytime I felt like it...it was

a godsent. I would go get in it every night at about 11:30 and sit in it for

an hour....(only suppose to do 15 min) I loved it....That was the best thing

for my stiffness and achy's. I wish I could afford one...I give anything to

have my own thats for sure...lol
