    • Close Fibromyalgia

      Dx 2001... I hate it... What more can I say?

      Treatments

      Lyrica Working / Worked
      I swear by Lyrica. It makes the flu-like body aches soooo much better. I can actually function on some days ~ proves my body really does still work... Side effects: WEIGHT GAIN, but it is worth it... Also, the first couple of weeks I took it I was unreal sleepy & also had bouts of vertigo.
    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      We've been married almost 20 years. I left July 19, 2007 cuz I couldn't take the abuse any more.

      Treatments

      Forgiveness Considering
      They keep sayin I need to forgive to move on... I may never move on...
      Leave Working / Worked
      I left... seems to be workin juss fine!
      Pets Not Working
      He threatened to kill 'em. He actually DID kill one of 'em.
      Talking Not Working
      Our communication was he screamed & belittled & I listened...
    • Open Chronic Pain

      Chronic pain suxxx!

      Treatments

      Chiropractic Adjustment Not Working
      And $30,000 later, I can tell you it does not work for herniated discs. Side effect... I'm out $30,000...
      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      I feel Cymbalta is one of the reasons I am still alive... Probably the biggest reason.
      Flexeril Somewhat Helpful
      It did work to a point, but I had to go to something stonger.
      Heat Working / Worked
      This is an on-going work in progress thing. I use heat when my neck or low back hurts a certain way. Side effect... may cause you to sweat...
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      Vicodin eases the pain & makes the pain bearable, but it doesn't kill the pain. Nothing kills the pain, it just takes the bite outta it. Side effects: ADDICTION & some weight gain Biggest issue I have with them is people finding out that I'm on them & they want them to get high...
      Lidoderm Working / Worked
      These are wonderful little patches... They can be cut to size to use anywhere on the body. Love them... Only problem I have with them is I have to tape the edges or they will roll up...
      Lyrica Working / Worked
      I swear by Lyrica. It makes the flu-like body aches soooo much better. I can actually function on some days ~ my body really does still work... Side effects: WEIGHT GAIN, but it is worth it... Also, the first couple of weeks I took it I was unreal sleepy & also had bouts of vertigo.
      Naproxen Somewhat Helpful
      It actually worked by reducing the inflammation, thus reducing the pain, but the pain level is too high to use it alone.
      Nerve Blocks Working / Worked
      Mine worked as long as the dr put it in the right place. If you're gonna use this, just make sure you trust the dr... They don't last long enough...
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      Used it years ago for nerve damage to my neck & right arm. It works like Lyrica & takes the ache outta the pain.
      Oxycodone Working / Worked
      Oh, OxyContin great as pain control, it was just impossible to function in life. I slept most part of a 24 hr day. I also burnt my house down in my OxyContin days, not on purpose, either. I was just so forgetful. Side effects: YOU DON'T HAVE PAIN, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE A LIFE EITHER.
      TENS Working / Worked
      I use my TENS mostly for my lower back pain. I have a herniated disc there, too. It works like the chiropractor therapy pads. Only thing I didn't like about it was I can't drive when I'm wearing it.
    • Open Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      I quit Nov. 6, 2008.

      Treatments

      Cold Turkey Working / Worked
      Today is May 29th & I'm still quit...
    • Open Food Allergies
      Type of allergy: Other Foods

      Due to the fibromyalgia, I'm allergic to a large array of foods, including, eggs, pinapples, & chocolate.

      Treatments

      Allergy Shots Somewhat Helpful
      They worked for the grasses, trees, and dust allergies, but don't work on food allergies.
      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      Avoiding the foods I'm allergic to means I can't eat the good stuff, but it also means I can breathe & I've kinda grown fond of breathin..
      EpiPen Working / Worked
      It sure works when you can't breathe...
