    • About Me

      44 yr old married female. Mother of two adult children. I love to laugh and always look for the ray of sunshine, my glass is always half full. FM, carpal tunnel, depression, and substance abuse run in my family. I am the youngest so I have learned invaluable lessons from my siblings.

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      female age 44, separated since November. Diagnosed with FM 5 years ago. Diagnosed with diabetes in 2006.

      Treatments

      Cyclobenzaprine Somewhat Helpful
      Helps when I've worked hard physically but also makes me lazy - the more I move around the better I feel.
      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      In combo with tranzodone for three years. Had to keep increasing dose to be affective. Stopped because at higher doses it has sexual side effects.
      Lyrica Working / Worked
      I have severe shoulder pain from being active in karate and over-extention. Lyrica has helped me keep finctioning. A FANTASTIC side effect is NO MORE MIGRAINES!
      Phentermine Working / Worked
      Without phentermine, I could not function due to chronic fatigue.
