Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Okay, so you had Cipro AND Prednisone? I'm asking because Prednisone is what triggered my fibromyalgia.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 As I am sure everyone can appreciate your " pain " both mental as well as physical, I must point out that the posts wanting to know how you got Fibro are becoming a bit much. First I have read many members, myself included, tell you to find a good Rheum Doctor. Only then will you get the answers as well as the treatment you need. I have suffered from Fibro and Lupus for the past 5 years, can I pin point exactly how I got it or the exact time ? NO.. I do know that often it is inherited however that is not always the case. We are all glad to be here as support and to help in anyway that we can, but PLEASE.. Go seek professional help, we are not doctors and no one can diagnose you from a few messages. I also personally think that you really need to see someone about your severe depression. As I can appreciate the anger, the depression, the anxiety. It is something we all suffer from and deal with on a daily basis. I am here to try to be positive to others and help each other over come a bad day, etc. From personal experience I can tell you that things will get easier and you will feel better if you try to look for the good. Telling yourself that you want to end things will only increase your anxiety and cause your symptoms to feel worse. Please know that this post is only my personal opinion, It is not meant to offend you and does not include the thoughts of other members. My wish is that you get to a professional so you can get the answers you so very much desire. May you know a day without pain and remember all that is good in your life Blessed Be April Joy Site Mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 As much as I really don't want to offend anyone, I have to agree here. you really need to seek professional help concerning your emotions right now. I know that you're in pain. I know what it feels like to think your life is over before it even starts. (I'm only 24, a little younger than you) I have three small children (ages 6, 4, and 2) that I'm worrying about. I'm also homeschooling them. I have no other choice.....my oldest has learning disabilities And also, my 4 year old daughter is mentally handicapped and I'll probably be taking care of her for the rest of my life. Who knows how I will be in 5 years, if I'm already feeling this bad now? . So believe me, I know what it's like to be scared of what the future holds. BUT....I know that I can continue living. The same things that I'm so worried about are the reasons I HAVE to keep living. I'm too curious about what will happen next. I can't give up now. You have to seek professional help. Here we have mental health centers where you can get an appointment with a therapist and pay according to your income. When I went, I was only paying 10 dollars per week. The minimum was 5 dollars. See if you have something like that in your area, because you really do need it. You need help in coping with this. You can't get yourself back on track physically until you're back on track mentally. As April said....we can't diagnose you. We can say, "Yes, that sounds like Fibro," Or "Yes, I have that symptom and this is what I do for it," but we can't diagnose you, and we can't tell you what has caused you to feel this way. It MAY be a temporary side effect of the medications you've taken. It may be Fibro. But either way, you need to find a really good doctor, preferably a rheumatologist, and find out for sure. Or you may never know for sure. A lot of us don't know what caused this. I know....I'm broke and haven't been officially diagnosed yet either. But the way your obsessing and getting depressed, you really need to do something. Please don't take this as my being rude. I'm trying to help. Really.
