I have every symptom that I have seen with Fibro sufferers. However I have no insurance so I have not been able to get an official diagnosis. I have the deep aching muscle pain, depression, feeling like I am in a fog all the time, anxiety, fatique, headaches, restless legs, sleepless nights...I am almost positive after all the research I have done on Fibro that that is what is wrong with me...and I believe that is why my mother always felt so bad..we just didn't know at the time what it was. Some days..like Sunday...I feel pretty good...other days...like today..I feel like I have been hit by a Semi...I am so tired of feeling bad. I am not able to deal with daily chores and taking care of the kids...but without insurance what can I do? Right now my main focus is on my son who has ADHD and Asthma and that is controlling my life..don't really have time for taking care of myself..but I need to be able to take care of him and my other kids. I am getting worse..and stress I know makes it worse. I have this fear of being in a wheel chair by the time I am 45 years old...and I will be 43 this month. :(

Well, our drought isn't broken but our gutter is. Got two big storms rigth after each other and, wait for it, a tornado warning.Now, I was already running for my go-bag when I heard thunder.

Skink-o-rama.Now, don't get me wrong, it's nice that she's a pesticidal maniac, but OMG. Skinks do no harm. They don't come inside. WTF.So,...
Call your local hospital and see if they have reduced cost or free clinics.
Call your local United Way and ask them for suggestions and help.
BTW - all of the pharmaceutical companies offer consumer assistance if you can not afford your medication. Go to their websites. Here is a helpful link: www.needymeds.org
If you do see a doctor, make sure to ask for samples of medication.
It is crucial that you seek treatment ASAP. The longer a chronic pain cycle continues, the harder it becomes to manage or stop. Good luck to you and take care.
