    • About Me

      I am new to fibromyalgia - well, I have probably had it for a very long time but mild and not truly interfering with my life. Two back injuries managed to put me in a serious crisis that we are just coming out of so..... working on it, making changes, and trying to get my life back.

      It worked for a while - not now but I can take it during the day and still move.
      Heat Working / Worked
      eases severe pain occasionally.
      Lyrica Working / Worked
      It worked very well for 12-16 weeks but I am experiencing pretty big stress right now - trying to tough through it to see if it will work well again.
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      Did not work. I had hives all over my face.
      Vitamin B12 Working / Worked
      I guess it works
