Hello I'm new

[Guest guest]

Wanted to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. My name is

and I am 38, married 20 yrs, and have 4 kids. (3 teens). I was

diagnosed with FMS at the first of this year by a family physician

and later was told by a rheumo that I did not have it. But I stand

with family md. I have known for yrs something was amiss. I also have

multiple allergies (MOLD being at top) and a rare disease called

allergic fungal sinutis which is my body over reacting to common mold

people breathe in. My reaction goes overboard and I create such

response that eventually I have to go through surgery to clean " glue "

that grows in my head! Yuck is right. IN the midst of all this my

hormones went wacko earlier too, and I had a complete hysto 1st of

May! I believe all this and the " candida " thing, and the huge stress

I have endured for 3 - 4 yrs all developed to the FMS today.

Fortunately, I am not in a flare now. But odd things pop up here and

there. I take effexor, bextra for inflamation as needed, pain med as

needed, and trazadone to sleep. However, my sleep is not well again

and I remain exhausted during the day!! I am so looking forward to

reading messages here and getting to know others.
