      A peaceful Sunday to you! Sending wishes of pain-free movement and fog-free thoughts! I wanted to share a video I took while in Truk Lagoon in Chuuk. The fish are a variety of damsels (from black and white to brilliant blue). It’s almost like they are dancing!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE7...

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      My name is Mary. I had 2 cervical disc fusions operations. After my 2nd operation (about 6 months) I was diagnosed with Fibro. I had been getting headaches for about 4 or 5 years before my surgery. Since then it seems like I get more and more problems as time goes on. So I just take one day at a time...

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      This helps with the pain and depression.
      Duragesic Patch Working / Worked
      This worked at first but had to increase it all the time. I had to stop after a couple of years because it was being absorbed into my body too fast.
      Morphine Working / Worked
      It helps with the pain.Takes the edge off. Still quite a bit of pain.
