Fibromyalgia Information-Marilyn

[Guest guest]

Marilyn,

Thank you so much for posting this info on FM. This is very helpful to me now, since I was just diagnosed with that last week. I have many more ideas to talk with the doc about when I go see him next. So far, nothing has helped except pain killers and trying my hardest to get better sleep at night.

thanks again

Hi Lorie, sorry to hear that you were diagnosed with Fibromyalgia recently. What a bummer! I know that my Rheumy gave me sleeping pills to help regulate my sleep (what a joke that is since I'm up until all hours of the morning, just ask Carmen, lol). Obviously, the sleeping pills aren't working that great for me but do work for many and it is so very important to get a full nights sleep when dealing with FM. I'm glad that this article was so helpful to you! What's going on with your Stills as I know the doctor was taking you off all other drugs and the most you could take was painkillers for the disease. Has anything changed in that area?

My doctor said I could take meletonin for sleep it seems to work! Also yes I have fibromyalgia too but for a full year suffered terrible neck pain before an MRI showed 2 slipped discs and an osteophyte too(bone spur)...they kept telling me it was fibromyalgia..well it was both..and after surgery..the 2 things that helped the most?? A new bed (medium) mattress..and a car with a loiw steering wheel..I had been driving a van and my hands were held much higher than my new car..Finally my neck is 75% better!!...Hugs everyone!!!Liz NJ
