    • About Me

      I'm a pre-med Psychobiology major at Binghamton University- an appropriate course of study for someone with FMS. I love writing, singing, reading, and lots of other stuff, especially music. And I'm a reality tv junkie... like Jon&Kate+8.

      In high school I realized it was FMS with the fatigue, body pain and depression; it was never a big enough problem to prevent me from functioning until i was a junior in college. Anxiety took over and I couldn't work, then nausea took over and I couldn't eat that much without alternative medicine. I've come a long way and have much further to go...

      Treatments

      Effexor Somewhat Helpful
      Really amazing stuff... but my restless legs weren't happy. The MDs put my dose too high and I wanted to kill myself. But in a low dose like 75mg/day, it can be really helpful for pain.
      Guaifenesin Working / Worked
      Risperdal Working / Worked
      Apparently I'm bi-polar too? This is an alternative to antidepressants, because they made me suicidal.
      Prozac Not Working
      Side effect HELL. Nausea, suicidal thoughts, trouble sleeping. It didn't work.
      Wellbutrin Working / Worked
      Helped my depression but eventually my symptoms overtook the effects of the medication.
      Compazine Working / Worked
      Great for nausea.
      Clonazepam Somewhat Helpful
      I took it for a few days as directed, then didn't feel the need to take it and I felt awful. The withdrawal from it was from only a short -term dose and caused an exacerbation of FMS symptoms. BUT- GREAT for panic attacks.
