    • About Me

      i am a 43 y/o christian woman that has had fibro for 4 years, i am on disability, i also have high blood pressure osteoarthritis, agoraphobia, panic disorder, severe anxiety disorder, and major depression. i am married to a wonderful man who is understanding, i have 4 children one who is 22 who lives out of the home, and a 19 year son who is here and in college, and 17 year old girl, and a 6 year old baby girl, my family is so important to me, and that is why i hate fibro so bad, i used to be a full time rn, working in home health, i loved it and then maintained my home, i loved to cook and sew and quilt , crochet, and take care of my family, and now i can barely take care of myself, and my personal needs, it was a shock to my family and me, and my family is understanding, the only one having problems accepting the changes is me, i always do too much when i feel a little bit good, and then i have to pay for it, looks like after 4 years i would be used to it my now, but i usually feel is quilt, i hope that i will be better in accepting it without letting it stop me completley, i need this site to talk to others who understand, because i don't care how much people think they understand, unless they have it, they can't understand it, it is like i have lost myself and don't even know who i am anymore, but we all have to stick together to make it,

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      about 5 years ago i was diagnosed with osteoarthritis,butas a nurse i knew my problems were deeper, a year ago i had to quit working due to the pain and severe anxiety i went to my general pract. who diagnosed me with fibro, depression, osteo, and severe anxiety.

      Treatments

      Heat Working / Worked
      Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
      Paxil Somewhat Helpful
      Xanax Working / Worked
      this seems to work, but keeps me groggy all day, can't seem to go about activities of daily living.
