      Hi Linda nice to hear from you. Sorry that you have been going through some rough FM and depression days. But happy you are starting to feel little better and hope it continues to get better for you each day. My summer has been ok I guess, any day that is not winter is a plus for me =D Have been going through some really rough Fm days too "ugh" hate it. Been kind of a rough year lost my younger sister in Jan and then June a nephew and my aunt and July my brother passed away. Hope that is the end of it for a long long time. I hope things are picking up in the work area for your family. So many people seem to be struggling with the economy right now. Take care gentle hugs

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I have Fibromyalgia with depression as well. It's fair to say that I have chronic fatigue too, since I think that disables me the most. I think I had it for many years, all 3 of these illnesses, and they would all get really bad around that time of the month. I was diagnosed with PMDD, and started taking anti-depressants that helped but not enough, it just got worse as I got older. I made the radical decision of having a Hysterectomy, and that's when it all came full force.

      Treatments

      Cyclobenzaprine Not Working
      Made my heart feel like it was going to stop beating.
      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      had to go off because it raised my blood pressure, but come to find out, I had already had high blood pressure.
      Lyrica Working / Worked
      dealing with some dizziness and fatigue but it's helping with pain, I take 100 mg. twice daily

    • Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. I also have depression that I have dealt with for years.

      Treatments

      Prozac Working / Worked
      60 millegrams, works better than all of the other anti's I've tried.
      Tramadol Working / Worked
      Tramadol helps tremendously with the chronic pain, and even gives me a bit of a boost as far as energy goes, but unfortunately shortlived.

    • Open Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I suffer with FMS (fibromyalgia) and depression. I've had depression for years which I've been taking medication for. I used to have PMDD for most of my life, until surgery for hysterectomy.

      Treatments

      Prozac Working / Worked
      60 millegrams worked for long time, but am experiencing some problems with depression lately.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      It's hard to find the right one.

    • Open Diets & Weight Maintenance

      Treatments

      Eat Less Somewhat Helpful
      Eat when hungry, stop when satisfied, and keep the body moving at least a half hour every day.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked

    • Open Arthritis

      Best friend has RA just want to help.

    • Open Healthy Eating

      Have quite a bit of knowledge regarding this subject, and as well, can always use more! I am striving to lose about 40 pounds right now.

      Treatments

      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Inconsistent due to bad days with my fibro, but I do manage to do it when I can.
