About Me
I was dx'd with fibro(April 2008) but I have had Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for 8 years. I have 4 kids, married almost 18 years. Busy life, but lots of pain and fatigue. Looking for support, answers and friends. These illnesses are very lonely. Most of the time I wish I had others I could lean on for support. I am hoping for a life with less pain and fatigue. A life with more hope and joy.

Hey, yeah, I've been using Lidoderm patches for years. I love them. I do put them on my ribs, under my right breast and they do seem to ease, but nothing kills the pain.
Try putting some patches in the fridge & using them cold... I LOVE it...
