Guest guest Posted August 2, 2002 Report Share Posted August 2, 2002 Hi, My name is (Pat) and I am a new member to the group...thanks for inviting me! I am almost 49 years old and live in Newark, Delaware. I am married and have 3 children and 2 grandchildren. I teach high school English and 7th grade math at a local Christian school. I feel that I have had FM for a number of years but am just currently being diagnosed. I have ~90% of the symptoms and the pain varies in intensity but is almost always there. I currently take Ambien and Trazedone for sleep, guafeniscen for overall symptoms and Vioxx for osteoarthritis. I also take Synthroid, Glucophage, Zestoretic, Allegra, and 2 types of inhalers. I occasionally take Bentyl for stomach spasms and Vicodan for pain. I know that one of my biggest problems is lack of exercise but I am always so sore and so tired that I never truly get started on a regimen and stick with it. I am also seriously overweight. My doctor has strongly recommended water exercises but it is just finding the facilities and the money to make it happen. I am looking forward to making a lot of friendships here, and learning much to help in the management of my FM. I also am here for support for others....so email me any time! Hugs, Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
