Hello everyone. I have not been diagnosed yet, but I do have many of the symptoms and a family history of Fibro. I have been diagnosed with Endometriosis this past March via Laparoscopy. I was still in a lot of pain after my surgery, so I was put on Lupron. Since that happend, my body has been put through a whirlwind. I am having alot of issues, such as symptoms of Fibro. My husband doesn't even believe in the idea of Fibro, IBS or MS, which is making this very difficult on me. My anxiety has been doubled and I am currently taking anti-depressants for Depression, which I believe is caused (at least not helped) by my physical health. Any advice is well welcomed. I feel very alone and misunderstood. Thanks in advance.

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...
You have come to the right place, we all understand perfectly and are here for you. You need a new doctor right away. There has been a lot of research just very recently, so the medical community as a whole is not up to date. Fibro is no longer considered to be a physic disorder, it is very real, and there are anumber of studies being done to identify what exactly it stems from. There is strong evidence that there is a genetic component. One thing I believe there is no question of in anyone's mind is that stress makes it much worse, so you do need the strength and support of your loved ones, especially your husband. An excellent resource for information for yourself and for others is My Invisible Disability. I believe the website is http//.www.IDA.com , or you can just do a search on the bar. Another resource is the National Fibromylagia Association. You will find lots of answers, support and loving friends here at DS. Feel free to ask any questions,and share your own experience. We are all here to help each other. Hugs
Im sorry you are in so much pain.
If you havent already, you should find a fibro doctor. It might be frustrating, as some docs are not up to par with this disease, but dont give up. Maybe once you are diagnosed and get some help, your hubby will be more understanding.
Fibro is cause by the neurotransmitters in our brains being out of wack so we need to counter it with the corresponding amino acids which is what I'm doing.
If you'd like more info, message me.
Hugs and kisses!

Your hubby will eventually get it but in the meantime, know that he may not know how to deal with the love of his life in so much pain. Sometimes, men want to be the hero and when they can't, they use not caring to cope. Please read what I wrote KC today about talking with her hubby.
I don't know about Lupron but you may be having some serious side effects. Please check with your doc and tell him/her what is happening.
hugs, and know, you are not alone. We are here for you. :)
Lupron was originally developed by Tap-Abbott, for prostate cancer. It is a form of chemo. I lost a bunch of hair, with some big spots, that were hard to cover up. The FDA allows Drs to use it for anything, once it is an approved drug, without clinical studies for the new use! My Dr. (former), was using it to shrink the Endometriosis, but I still ended up having a hysterctomy! And had such a horrible experience while on the drug!
Please, research, research, research!!!!!!
If you would like to chat, leave me a msg or a hug, and we can discuss this poison
Love and Hugs. Kathy
