Hi guys. I'm seeing a pain specialist tomorrow. Is there anything I should ask him for that works for you guys? I was hoping the Rheum doctor was going to be treating me for this but so far this is all I have to work with. The pain doctor that is. I have fibromyalgia and lower back pain along with CFS. Thanks. Jen

Hey, we have the exact same crap!! The same, funny ,but not really! Yes, I started seeing a pain doctor about 5 months ago. Best thing I ever did!! He has no problem giving out pain meds! That's all that works on the fibro. My lower back pain was mostly from very bad athritis. We tried having back injections. They were like a miracle to me!! I totally had NO back pain until just a few days ago. The shots come in a series of three. My appt. was last Wed. and I didn't even have to go then as my pain had not come again. I am getting the next shots next week. They are supposed to last longer and longer with each series. I think it is some kind of freaking miracle!! I have also found something for the fatigue! I am really bad without it. I could fall asleep driving! I take either, a vitamin sort called Hi-Engery. They work great! Also there is a drink called 5-hour Energy. They come as one shot each with two in a package. They are bright orange. They work right away and last quite a while. Really, try these!! They are the only thing that keeps me going during the day!! Let me know how you make out, okay? Good Luck! Kathy

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
