Guest guest Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 hello, I am mostly a lurker here and try and read posts when I can but honestly its about all I can do to focus enough to read some of them. I have had Fibro for many years but was officially diagnosed about 4 yrs ago when I was able to get my doctor to believe me long enough to test me. I take Lyrica but even that is not helping much these days. I have gotten so much worse in the last year and am seeing an almost daily decline in the past few weeks. I am struggling to work...I own a dog boarding kennel and the physical labor and long days are wearing on me. My list of symptoms seems a mile long. I see my cardiologist Aug. 3 and am going to see if she can refer me to a pain specialist. I simply cannot go on like this. I slipped and fell at a restaurant last fall and x-rays revealed a lot of arthritis, degenative disc disease and scoliosis . Plus I have a heart condition. I do not have health insurance and cannot afford tests and treatments so I am just at wits end. My question to the group is what type of mattress are most of you finding helpful. Mine is very old and I hurt even more and wake constantly due to the pain on pressure points. I am looking to buy a new one ASAP. Thank you for letting me vent.
