I started my period a few days ago and since I am in constant severe pain and muscle weakness. I can hardly lift my head up. It is hard accepting that this is just somthing that no one can help me with.. If I did not have fibro I would be in the ER because of how much pain I am in. And knowing there isn't anything I can do but suffer through it has been hard. My husband has been very supportive, and very helpful. I am a nanny of 3 kids plus my 1 year old so it's been tough. It's hard talking to anyone else because they do not understand what I'm going through.. My mom says "take a Tylenol" ...?? If only it were that easy.

Hopefully, when you go back to the doctor, he'll add something else for you. Tell him exactly and in great detail just how much you're hurting. Tell him just how it's affecting your day to day life.
I wish I had more to tell you, but I'm in the same struggle, and looking for some answers, too.
Take care.
