    • Moment of Peace

      From DixieBlue October 18

      I hope all is well with you! I journaled! I am not doing that as often as I once was because I am trying to "get a grip and re-enter the "normal" world. Not at full tilt.
      Just trying to force myself out of the house more and to do a little more f2f. ( I think you taught me that I needed to do that with your CFS friends group. Since I don't know any of those in real life around here. Older normals (about 20 years my senior seem to be about my pace) It's going, it's doing! Still hoping and praying for SSDI to come to a favorable decidsion soon. Love and Hugs.

    • Close Chronic Pain

      Diagnosed with M.E/CFS in september '07. Constant headache since Feb '07. Pain in pretty much everywhere possible!

      Treatments

      Chiropractic Adjustment Too Soon to Tell
      For the constant headache. Couldn't move for 2 days after, despite large amounts of ice, hot baths and painkillers. Gave me worse Migraine than i've ever had before, one at the front, and one at the back, at the same time. Now get severe back pain.
      Codeine Not Working
      Used to take it with Ibuprofen and paracetomol to help me sleep, now it doesn't work.
      Heat Working / Worked
      works a little for as long as the heat's there!
      Meditation Somewhat Helpful
      Helps to relax a bit, relieve some of the tension around my neck!
      Topamax Not Working
      i lost a stone in weight, felt sick constantly and still the pain remained! it also made me more depressed, spaced out, tingling and pins and needles, i turned into a zombie. NIGHTMARE!
      Voltaren Somewhat Helpful
      Melatonin Not Working
      10mg for sleep didnt help
