Fibromialgia

Went to the doctor yesterday after years of pain and he started me on cymbalta for fibromyalgia. Small victories!

Well I guess the cold weather did it! Pretty sure I’m having a flare up! #Fibromialgia #ChronicPain

So I’m undiagnosed! My mother had MS and fibro! My question is what are the first symptoms y’all had? I have a lot of symptoms and I don’t know if it’s fibro or MS!

I sincerely hate to wake up. I feel this because it is only after waking up that I realize how peaceful I was. I had no pain. But as soon as I wake up, all the pains reappear. I hate that. I just want to sleep forever!

My back is killing me, my knees are swollen, quite frankly I am very tired of it all. Fibromyalgia does not kill but for days I wish it would. And today is one of those days.

I'm in so much pain but my mind is worse than the pain, I scare myself with the thoughts that go through my head, as well as my pain and mind problems I'm struggling with bulimia at the moment, haven't eaten a meal in 2 months, I'm scared to eat or I feel sick as soon as I see the food and have to make myself sick. I'm fed up of it all and I want it all to end #MentalHealth #Bulimia #Fibromialgia #thinkingofsuicide

My ex pain mngt dr. cut me off of Percocet after 8 years. I wanted to be off long before. I kept telling him I have pain and why did I still suffer? When my husband and I asked 3 years ago if I had fibro he scoffed at us. I tried medical marijuana, but the dispensary never had the strain I needed and it truly never helped. I’ve had many back surgeries including my last fusion which was a failed lumbar spinal fusion and then a hip replacement the next year. I’m now 53. I’ve also had an abusive childhood. Our daughter is moving out soon to another state to live with her loser bf bc she can’t take her brother. Our 22 yo son has major mental illnesses. He’s refusing to get help. He has outbursts daily. (Which I secretly record). We called the police on him the other week bc he constantly threatens suicide. He’s been smoking marijuana for years. We tell him he’s not allowed to smoke in our house, but he does. We don’t know what to do with him. He lied to the drs in the hospital saying it was just a misunderstanding. He does cut himself. He’s also a hoarder. Our son has become physical with me. He has at least 100lbs over me. I’m very thin. I’ve lost 50 lbs since coming off Percocet in the beginning of January. Both our kids will admit they’ve had a wonderful childhood. I made sure of that! I can’t tolerate the agonizing pain anymore. I speak with a wonderful psychologist once a week and have a psychiatrist managing my meds. I can no longer drive. I’m using a seated walker. I’m from the USA and our country is so divided. I am vegan so please don’t make fun of me. I really care about all animals. I went off FB bc the politics, horrible racism and people not wearing masks were effecting my mental health.
