I'm feeling so well I'm scared!!

[Guest guest]

I'm one of the new ones. I joined this group a week ago just after I came back

home from seeing the doctor who finally diagnosed fibromyalgia.

The thing is, I'm only taking some triciclic antidepressant he gave me to help

me get a repairing sleep and increase my tolerance to pain, also the usual aloe

vera on getting up in the morning, the warm showers at night before going to

bed, nothing special...and, honestly, I don't know what's happening to me:

is it just that someone finally confirmed the diagnosis without any doubt, and

so now I feel euphoric only because of that?

is it that I'm more relaxed now I don't have to think of what doctor I'll be

seeing next? no more tests? no more " there's nothing wrong with you " ?

is it that the medication is acting earlier than with others?

It's not that I'm completely free from some disconfort and tiredness, but I just

lay for a few minutes after getting home from work and then after lunch and

that's it, there I go again, I can actually do things, I can do the washing up

and then hanging the clothes outside and then something else, all three things

in a row!! This was completely unthinkable a few days ago, it has been

impossible for me to do more than one of those things a day, sometimes I just

used to spend the day pushing myself around the house, unable to stand up and do

anything. I can't believe it, but more than three days completely free of

excruciating pain, restless sleep, complete exhaustion, inability to carry out

the most insignificant physical task...I can't manage it.

After ten years, I honestly can't handle actually feeling allright!

Am I crazy???

Please, has anybody here ever felt like this? So afraid of the fall??

Honestly, I don't know what to do with this energy. How long does it take to get

used to it before being back to the pit again?

I need advice...
