    • I’m With You

      From Celarnor February 26, 2007

      Even though you have CFS and have to deal with that on a day to day basis, you're luckier than some other people. I'm 11 years younger than you are and I can't even get a referral to get tested for CFS. I hope that your doctors can find all of your ailments so you can start to be treated. This is a good community, I'm sure you'll find support here. I have.

      You are young and you can beat all of this! Positive affiramations like," I am healthy, I am happy, I know God is going to take care of me etc.."I know it's scary-believe me I have had my share this year and I am 30 but now I just face the CFS. Zoloft is not the best mediaction for most- you might want to get a second opinion if still depressed. Keep reaching out and researching everything on the internet..This will give you the opportunity to become proactive. Hugs!!

    • Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      I was just diagnosed with possible fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and something called postural orhtostatic tachycardia syndrome. I'm only 26. I have had depression for years but now dealing with this illness is totally ruining my life.

      Treatments

    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I've had depression for years and now it is a hundred times worse because I have been diagnosed with POTS and still currently undergoing tests for fibromyalgi as well as CFS

    • Open Fibromyalgia

      I'm so frustrated because half the people you talk to doctors included don't even know what fibro is. Chronic pain is so frustrating and no one helps it and it won't go away ever.

      Treatments

      Aqua Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      Feels good to sit in a hot bath tub but you can't spend all your time there.
      Cyclobenzaprine Not Working
      bad drug. made me not able to walk because muscles relaxed way too much. anyways thats what I think.
      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      seems to help the depression. Don't really know if it helps pain
      Heat Working / Worked
      Heating pads help and i find myself using them a lot.
      Lyrica Not Working
      tried it and it didn't help.
      Neurontin Not Working
      tremors were pretty bad with it
