I live in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico and there is absoloutly no help here at all for people like us with Fibromyalgia. Im seeing a new doctor on Monday, he is new to the area. they have been through so many here at the clinic I go to. They dont even have help in the bigger cities Like Albuquerque, or Las Cruces. Is there anyone else here that is from New Mexico or close to me? I would like to know how you feel about this state not being able to give us some kind of help. Today Iam in alot of pain the weather is cold and the wind is blowing.

Hang on in there Judy, others will be along to help if they can.
It's so infuriating not to be able to get the appropriate help, sorry you are having to go thru this, it just ain't fair!! At least here you know that we understand what you are going thru and will try to help and support you. In the meantime let's hope this new doc can do something to help you. Warm thoughts and hugs, Owlxx

So sorry to hear this.
The only thing to kinda help you until you can seek better help is to take hot baths as often as needed and use a heating pad. Also buy some menthol oil and dulute it with almond oil and massage it in the hurt areas along with heat.. Anythings better than nothing.. xoxo

I am sorry you have to go thru this. It's bad enough having FM, but not to have any local support...hopefully the new doc will have fm knowledge. In the meantime I hope you feel better quick...hugs jilly

One site to try is the National Fibromyalgia Association. They have lists of fibro-friendly doctors. There is another woman you can email, but I have to look for my pad of paper with her email address. I'll get back to you with it.

    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...
