About Me
I'm 23 years old, still learning about myself in many ways. Fibro has caused me to discover even more. I'm learning my limits, goals, and trying to make positive changes in my life. Despite the pain and frustration of being diagnosed with FMS, I found it to be a blessing. Finally, after 10 years of hurting for no reason, of not knowing what was wrong, of being told it was all in my head, I do know what's wrong. It's not just in my head. I'm not faking it. I don't feel like my life has been taken away from me. I know there is still much i can do, despite this. I know God has a plan for me in this.

Close Fibromyalgia
Shortly before my 23rd birthday, I was diagnosed with FMS. I believe I may have had it for as long as 10 years (sudden unexplained knee pain started at age 13 and after pointless surgeries, the pain persisted and spread), but it had always been excused as a "weight problem". When I started losing weight, and still had massive pain, I knew it wasn't a weight issue. Fortunately, I have a good Dr. and good friends.
Treatments
- Lyrica Somewhat Helpful
- I've been on Lyrica for almost 2 months now. The first 2 weeks were awful, but my doctor had warned me about the side effects....I felt drowsy, dizzy, uncoordinated, but those effects subsided after 2 weeks as my body got used to the meds. I recently tried increasing my dosage to 3 75mg pills a day (I currently take 2 75mg per day) but the dizzy spells I experienced caused me to go back to my normal dosage. It seems to have helped lessen my pain. I still have pain, but not as bad as before.
