Get Well Soon!
I hope you have recovered from your fall, it's awful when you can't trust your own body. I have a new grand daughter, born Oct. 15th (2 weeks early) smallest one we've ever had in our family, only 5 lbs. 15 oz., but she sure is a keeper :)
Take care!-

How are you? I do hope that you are feeling a bit better and that the headache has gone by now. I wonder if the weakness is a result of the RLS. Hopefully they will find whatever is causing you to fall and be able to do something to help prevent it.
Look forward to catching up again when you feel better. Love and hugs, Marg

Close Fibromyalgia
I'm married with 4 children & 11 grandchildren. I have a lot of trouble with chronic pain, fatique & fibro fog. I am unable to work anymore. I really miss feeling like a contributer to the household. I'm still resentful for the way my lifestyle changed so dramatically. We were on the go all the time & now it depends on my pain level.
Treatments
- Aqua Therapy Working / Worked
- Could not afford to contiue with warm water therapy.
- Cyclobenzaprine Working / Worked
- Cymbalta Not Working
- Negative side affects.
- Effexor Not Working
- Terrible, dark side effects.
- Heat Working / Worked
- Still use heat especially at night.
- Morphine Working / Worked
- Save it for really bad days. It works but I don't want to become addicted to it.
- Neurontin Working / Worked
- It helps with neurological symptoms I have.
Close Restless Legs Syndrome
RLS runs in my family. My grandmother used to rub her legs & refer to it as the "nervousness" in her legs. I had it before I got FMS. That only made it worse.
Treatments
- Clonazepam Working / Worked
- After taking this for a while I would have break through bouts of RLS.
- Requip Working / Worked
- I take this along with the clonazepam it keeps the RLS pretty well under control. I have to take 2 Requip at bedtime 1 in the morning another early evening. It works!
