      I have a whole spiel written out but then the page crashed and I lost the lot so here's the short version. I'm an artist with a degree in anthropology. I want to go back to University to study microbiology. I have fibromyalgia, bipolar disorder and insomnia.

    • Hug

      From SFWriter August 1

      I also have Fibro, IBS, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. For Fibro I take Plaquenil and Sulfasalazine. For IBS, Align which is over the counter and really is working for me!! For sleep at night, 1/2 to 1 mg of Xanax. I also found that walking daily helps me to sleep better.
      I am also Bipolar. I wish you the best and hope that what I've told you about my meds might help you. I wish I could have become an anthropologist!!! I am 68 and am now a writer.
      You have a wonderful smile!
      Big Hug,
      Judith
