    • About Me

      I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for a few years but I think I have been in denial. I'm sure I've had it for years. I have sleep apnea, herniated disks in my neck, bursitis in both hips, fatique and fibrofog often, and frequent elbow, shoulder and hand pains. Now I'm trying to learn to deal with it in a positive manner.

    • Interests

      I enjoy scrapbooking, sewing and spending time with my family. I have 4 children and 11 grandchildren. I am a social studies teacher and I teach alternative education students, grades 9-12. Thank God I only work a 6 hour day and then I come home and often have to lie down for awhile to make it through the rest of the day.

      I think I may have sent the message to you in the wrong place. I still hope you get it Cyndi. Deep breathes & I'm so sorry you are dealing with so many emotions at the same time. Take care & remember 'baby steps'-for yourself.

      Treatments

      Cyclobenzaprine Somewhat Helpful
      I get too tired to take it regularly so I just use it occasionally when in a lot of muscle pain.
      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      I take 60 mg. at night. I switched from Celexa to this and it is helping a lot with aches and pains.
