Guest guest Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hi , I don't know if I mentioned in my last post that we do go to Arizona in the winter. Honestly, though, my fibromyalgia is not any better in the warmer climate. I'm not stressed here in Iowa or there but the fibromyalgia hangs with me no matter where I go. Now, I DO have unexplained periods where the pain is lessened. Those times, I wonder what I was complaining about... the pain forgotten - I go about my life thanking God it is gone...Sometimes I'll go a few days without medication... but then comes a flare up. The pain is nagging... to the point of nausea. I was talking to a couple of beautiful women in their 70's and 80's. They were talking about all the things they were doing. I asked them how they did it... I get so tired. I just can't keep up with them. They looked at me like I was an ET. Don't you wish there would be a break through? I'm considering Neurontin but I have reservations. What medication are you on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 , What a beautiful dog! Willow looks so sweet, those eyes are so beautiful. My husband and I have 2 cats. They are our kids. They do make us happy and fill our hearts with love, don't they?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Ikdoty, Definately see your doctor, and you may want to get " Fibromyalgia for Dummies " . It is a very impressive book, and it may answer some of your questions. It is important to see your doctor, too, though, because they have had many years of training and can apply their knowledge to help you. You may even want to share the book with your doctor- it is that good! Aradia __________________________________ Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Aradia, A book I have found to be most useful over the years is "Fibromyalgia & Chronic Myofascial Pain Syndrome" by Devin Starlanyl, M.D. & Ellen Copeland, M.S.,M.A. I do have an order in for "Fibromyalgia for Dummies," but truthfully, I'm not sure how receptive my doctor would be if I handed it to him! VBG (He might think he's the dummy??? -- which I think most are when it comes to this syndrome). Silk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
