    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I was diagnosed with FM in January 2008 after months of chronic fatigue, a rash from head to toe, swelling all over my body, piecing pain in my bones, and disabling pain in my muscles. I believe that I have had it most of my life.

      Treatments

      Aqua Therapy Working / Worked
      Working. I use it on severe pain and stress days.
      Cymbalta Working / Worked
      It is working great! For the first week I experienced a few side effects but, not any of the major ones. I love it.
      Guaifenesin Working / Worked
      I take mucinex for my sinuses and it works for them. I do suffer from chronic sinitis so I often need antibiotics as well.
      Heat Working / Worked
      Working. I use it on severe pain days and during menstral cycle.
      Lyrica Working / Worked
      I take 300 mg a day and it helps. I also take Cymbalta and the two work well for me!
      Neurontin Not Working
      This did not work for me. I had to go through each increase level for insurance purposes. In the beginning of the increase it seemed like it was going to work at highest dose and then nothing.
