Been a while (long email)

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Its been a while since I last wrote to the group, but thought I would do today.

I have now been diagnosed with Fibro (12 July) and put on

Amitriptyline 3*10mg a night. (for the fibro)

I am also on epam 2mg 3* a day,

Tylex capsules, (for the pain)

Sertraline 50mg, 1 a day, (for depression)

Atorvastatin 10mg 1 a day (for my Cholesterol level),

Topirmate 25mg 2*night (for migraine),

Thyoxine 50mg 3 a day. (for my thyroid which ain't working, which means I am

putting on weight)

Also Fluoxetine 1 a day and Danazol 1 a day (both are for the monthlies that

cause pain and anguish).

I feel like I rattle when I walk, people joke that I am a walking chemist.....

I am only 26yrs old and I take all these tablets.....

My hubby has just had a hernia operation and they didn't find anything,

apparently they had him opened up and was looking for it for 40 minutes but they

couldn't find anything wrong..... strange really because I have felt it when it

has popped out.. So right now we are both finding it hard to cope with, I have

given everything from Saturday and (don't get me wrong, I love looking after

him, it makes me feel better) today I couldn't give anymore I just had to flop

out for 3 hours.

I keep saying to myself I can't carry on anymore, and then I think about taking

a OD, just to get rid of the pain....

My Rhematologist has recomended me to a physio, so that might help, and every

specialist I see..... Gynie Docs, Migraine Docs, Fibro Docs anyone just looks at

you funny.

I ask my gynie for a hysterectomy but he said I was too young, and growled back

that I have already had my four kids, I am never going to have anymore

especially since I plan to stay with my husband and he has had the snip.... Why

do doctors treat you like they have the upper hand when we as their patience

should at least get a say in what they do.

A praise report:

Well this year we didn't have to fight DLA for once, I had to renew my claim,

and in the middle of the renewal I was actually diagnosed with Fibro..... So

they put me on middle rate care and high rate mobility.....

I am thanking God everyday for this because it helps me get out and about in

taxis right now and is saving me a lot of pain.

Plus the kids get to go out with me more.

Thanks for listening and I suppose that is all we really need it someone who

understands what pain you go through and encourgement.

God bless

Hugs
