    • About Me

      I am 28, married and unable to work due to fm. I believe I have had fibro for many years but only recently been diagnosed. This is mostly my fault as I only ever went to gp about one symptom at a time instead of listing them all! I also have abdominal adhesions from countless surgerys a few of which have gone wrong and left me with horrendous abdo pain. I have ibs, ceoliacs disease back pain, depression, panic attacks and am generally unwell. I try to stay positive but it gets hard when fibro affects your life in so many ways! One person I havn't mentioned who I should is my wonderfull husband. He supports me and does all the things I can no longer do as well as holding down a full time job. I still havn't heard him complain! I love him very much. Well thats more or less me.

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I believe I have had fm for many years but only recently been diagnosed. I am still trying to convince myself that I am fine and will get better. Deep down I know this will not happen. I take a fair bit of medication trying desperatly to get back to work. At the moment that is still a long way of.

      Treatments

      Elavil Working / Worked
      Although this does not work for the pain it has been helping me to sleep which is a great relief. I have had no side effects although I am on an extremely low dose
      Heat Somewhat Helpful
      Although this helped in the short term it was to expensive to keep using fulltime
      Morphine Working / Worked
      This was the first day i have had no pain in many yeasrs. Unfortunately it made me so sick i had to stop using it.
      TENS Somewhat Helpful
      This only really worked on my lower back pain but not long term.
