    • About Me

      I'm a librarian at a small college in Western Kansas. This is a second career; previously I was a psychologist. I grew up in this area and have family nearby, which is wonderful. No kids, but 4 furry "children"/cats. Other loves include reading, movies, and decorating.

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about ten years ago. I also struggle with depression, anxiety and stomach problems. Probably the hardest part is figuring out when a symptom is just the flu, or if it's depression, or fibro, or IBS or what!!! It's enough to make you feel a little crazy :-)

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Somewhat Helpful
      I have found this helpful for migraines and for anxiety. The one time I tried it for fibro pain, the treatment itself was very painful, and I didn't notice any helpful effects.
      Cymbalta Not Working
      I had to discontinue it after a few days because it gave me a huge anxiety attack.
      Effexor Not Working
      I also had a bad reaction to this--difficulty walking, anxiety, depersonalization.
      Heat Working / Worked
      This always helps. I use a heating pad you can microwave, daily.
    • Close Food Allergies
      Type of allergy: Other Foods

      I just found out (age 43) that I'm allergic to wheat, dairy, eggs and nuts (and maybe corn). Bread was my favorite food :-(. I've been trying out allergen-free food, but it is SO expensive!

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      I just started. So far it has helped my stomach problems, but my energy is still low.
