Fibromayaglia
stay away from caffine and coffee try to exercise twice a week or do something, I suffer from it and my daily activies are so short now that I have to make myself get up and go outside and do some gardening or something it gives me a great sence of spirit and get to relax at the same time. I do get depressed a lot and cry but I do know that I'm not the only one who is going through this. keeping a postive mind helps. I also enrolled in Law School and it help keep me postive, I want to help the children who are stuck in the courts today any where in the USA and get them on the way to a successful life too, and I love working with children, I did work for the school system and then I went to cosomotogloy school and a nail tech. SO in all I'm saying do something that makes youfeel better in your suffering. Thank You. Andrea Ogletee KCMo.
It DOES help to know that you're not alone. I've had Fibro for a number of years and recently (the past 2 years) had it diagnosed as such. My Dr. prescribed Lyrica and it has worked like a miracle! There is still pain at the "tender points" but the exhaustion is almost gone! Now I'm able to walk through the grocery store without using the cart for support. I can deal with the tender points and have mapped out those areas for my significant others!
Everyone has their own way of dealing with things. I knit and got hooked on knitting socks this past winter! Makes time go by anyway.
Take care all,
Leanne
Thanks Andrea; this is some good advice. I too am suffering from fibromayaglia. I lost my job in December due to down-sizing and haven't been able to find another one that I'm able to do. I can't afford to go to school. It's really depressing. No one seems to understand.
Thank you, Andrea for sharing that. We hear from many people who say that helping others is the best medicine they could take!
