    • About Me

      I am a 48 year old woman who has been fighting Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue for at least 8 years. It has gotten worse in the past 3 years and I developed double tennis elbow and double carpal tunnel. The tennis elbow was treated with extracorpeal shock wave. As a result of my Fibromyalgia my arms got worse and I have been unable to support myself financially due to the pain and soreness in my arms.I have tried the newest medications on the market but due to side effects and their inability to help with my tender points, I have gotten no relief. I have been working but lost my career and my future is very uncertain. I long for the day my arms can get me back to a job that I can support myself. Currently my 76 year old mother has been helping to support me and I am grateful but distressed over my future. I do not see any hope at this point with finding a way to be able to get back to working in an office, since computer work is so crucial with my background and experience. Working on moving in with my mother so things are easier for both of us.

      Thank you for all your kind words. It means so much to have people to talk to that totally understand what I am going thru. I have no choice but to work full time right now, and I can tell that my FM is getting worse with every day that passes. Hope to talk to you again soon.

      Hugs,
      Jennifer

      I am interested in B12 to help my CFS and FMS. Previously all doctors I went to advised I was not deficient in B12 but I have been constanly tired my entire life and it is getting worse so I am willing to try anything. I have always eaten right and taken a multivitamin, B12 in low dose, and other vitamins orally, with no results for either CFS or FMS
