Ok so I have a decision to make. As some of you know I signed up for a clinical trial for Fibromyalgia. I have had to go off the one thing I was taking and can only take Tylenol. I was taking Robaxin and It wasn't helping much, but even without it's minor help I am in trouble. I don't sleep, pain levels are at 7 to 8 and I can't leave my apartment because I have to have my husband help me up the stairs. Things have gotten so much worse in the last two to three weeks. I can't take much more. I called the docs office where the trial is being held and I will not get on the study meds for at least another 2 and a half weeks. And then I only have a 75% chance of getting the study meds.
So I have to decide to stick with the program and wait it out, or quit the trial and get some help. Pain and fog is so bad I can't decide. I want to help with the trial so we can get something that will give us greater relief, but do I or can I stay the way I feel for another 2 weeks. I just don't know. Taking any opinions that I can. HELP!!

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...
I hope you will drop the clinical trial. Let others do it that don't get the level of pain that you do.
I find that the longer my pain is allowed to take over, the longer the flare.
Also, I think it was stupid of them to begin this trial when the weather there is bound to add to your problem.
In the end, you must do what you think is right for you.
From watching the news today it seems the weather there is just itching to torture the fibros!
Love and gentle hugs to you sweetie, sue
