Massage Therapist with Chronic lyme disease that gave me Fibromyalgia. I was misdiagnosed for 2.5 yrs, so I'm having a really tough time recovering. I've been on oral antibiotics for 8 mos and barely noticed any difference. I still have constant pain through out my body, anxiety and all kinds of cognitive problems. I'm starting IV therapy soon and hope and pray that this works. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with and I commend every person with a chronic illness that stays positive and makes it thru each day. I haven't worked since 12/07, so finances are a major problem. I'm trying to stay positive and believe that there is some reason that this has happened. That there will be a silver lining to my cloud.

I used to be very athletic. Running, yoga, pilates, aerobics, dancing hiking. I was happy as long as I was moving. Of course, that's real hard to do now. I try to do some exercises and walk as much as I can. Seems like it's getting harder and harder. I also love to read and learn about alternative health., being a massage therapist. That's hard to now. I can read for 15 minutes and then have competely forgotten what I just read. So now, DS, sleep, trying to stay positive and getting thru each day are my interests. I do believe I will heal and be able to do some, if not all the things I used to.

hi had question my counslor had a babby she told me to get a message for the weeks shes out will it help with my ptsd
i am so sorry for your pain i was diagnosised with fibromyalgia over two years ago and i know what you mean life is dramatically different i dont know from day to day what i will be able to do i cant make any plans i was reading your list of medicine i take cymbalta which has helped some i dont know if you have tried lyrica it might help but i also wanted to suggest a pain patch called duragesic or fenantyl patch it does help me and it stays on for three days and then you add another patch but i am also on ultram and i now take the three hundred and it helps so but i have been told by my rhematologist that it tough to treat because as you stated our bodies can build immunities to certain med but i have also learned that no matter what med i take nothing totally takes away the pain and the fatigue i feel makes me feel ninety years old i pray that your pain will go away and i also pray for your finanaces have you tried for you disability since you havent work if your dr will back you its a good chance that you will eventually be approved but i try to connect with those that have fibro because i dont think anyone else can truly understand how bad it really is
Thanks for your message. Keep hangin in there. Your friend Bert.
I'M with you. Lots of Luck to you. Bert S.
