Support Groups
Close Fibromyalgia
Was diagnosed in, 2001-2, don't really remember (fibro-fog?)LOL. Elavil worked the first few YEARS. Then stress kicked into high gear and so did the fibro-thought the pain itself would kill me. Struggled for months until we got what I now think is the right combination of meds. But still can't work :-(
Treatments
- Acupuncture Somewhat Helpful
- At least it relaxes me during the treatment, but doesn't offer long-term pain relief of any kind.
Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery
I'll be turning 42 (ouch!) this year and have smoked since I was 17. I've had very few attempts at quitting, because, quite frankly, I enjoy it and just don't want to quit. And "they" (whoever "they" are) say that if you don't want to quit, you won't be able to. My doctor's attribute almost all of my aliments to smoking or aty least making the ailment worse. My husband wants to quit, but I don't, and he can't seem to do it if I'm still smoking. He's older than me (55) and already has COPD.
Open Shopping Addiction
I was SO happy to see this community! I'm a certifiable shopaholic...on ebay, mostly. It comes in spurts. I'll buy a dozen or so things, fight with my hubby about it, promise not to do it again. That'll last a couple or so months, then it hits again. I think for me it's a coping mechanism-trying to get something by ACQUIRING THINGS! I've put our financial status in serious jeopary more than once. I know I have a problem, but I don't have any healthy coping skills (except this site!)
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionI've been prone to clinical depression most of my life - at least teen years on. I've been stable for a long time, but with everything going on with commuting to work and seeing my family only on weekends is getting to me. I was driving to my real home (the one that's for sale), just crying for no reason. I do that alot.
Treatments
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Been in and out of therapy for over 20 years. Finally found the right therapist, so that's good.
- Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
- Helps with my mood swings.
Open Prescription Drug Abuse
Treatments
- Suboxone Too Soon to Tell
- I've only been on Suboxone for about a week. They are giving it to me for withdrawals and to get off/stay off the morphine (that they gave me for my fibromyalgia) AND for my chronic pain. Right now I don't seem able to make it between doses (3x a day) before I start hurting really, really bad, and start wanting to revert back to drugs to deal with life. I've only been clean from the pain meds, xanax, and marijuana for 9 days (as of today, 12-17). I'd like to talk to others who are on Suboxone.
