Guest guest Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hi, my name is Cristie, I'm 39 years old, and have recently been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Although I'm pretty sure I've been suffering from it for the past 15 years or so, it has taken this long, and many negative tests, to get a dr to believe me. I don't deal with much pain other than my shoulders burning and aching. Cutting out caffeine and conning my kids and husband to massage them has helped quite a bit. My main problem is debilitating fatigue. You know the kind, sleep 9 hours and an hour after waking hardly having any energy. Most of my days recently have left me with only enough energy to function, but not even enough to feel emotion. As a home schooling mom of 3, that doesn't work so well. So my main question is: how does anyone else cope? Has anything worked for you all out there? Does acupuncture work? I'm desperate to stop surviving and start living again. I look forward to hearing from you all and really hope (although I'm afraid to) that you have some answers. The thought of living like this for the next 30-50 years is pretty hard to bear! Thanks, Cristie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
