Hi. My name is Deva. Im a mother o2 kids. 1yr old girl, 6yr old boy.

Im married to Matt. I live in Missouri.

Ive been diagnosed with Fibro since January 2006. I started having

the symptoms of Fibro after my daughter was born. I keep blaming the

botched spinal epiduaral I had. They the doctors messed it up. It

didnt go through they had to gas me I had c-section. 1-2 months

after having a I started having pain in my legs, whole body,

feeling very crappy some days. My doctor sent me to a

Rheumatologist. Ive done plenty of research on it before and after.

The pain is now almost an everyday thing. I also have major " brain

fog " some days are better then other in that area. Dizziness.

Weakness in my legs. Insomnia. I complained constantly to my primary

about it all. She went and did a spinal MRI because of the neck pain

and back pain and shooting shock pain down a leg. Sure enough I have

a hernation. T11-T12. Well I accepted it but I still wasnt happy

with the diagnoses. I am realy worried about the weakness in my legs

and the constant dizziness and cognitive problems. I was sent to a

Neurologist last week. Since my aunt has MS I brought it up to him.

The lab work I had done at the primary D came back fine othr then my

hematocrite being tiny bit low. So Dr Karim ran some more labs but I

havent heard back. I go in for a nerve conduction test and a brain

MRI next month. They are somewhat worried about my hyperflexity.

Something else to about when he flexes my feet back he said that

wasnt right plus I also have twitches in my legs to. He said it

still could be Fibro. It could be MS or a neuropathy problem. He

said it could also be my herniation but my spinal MRI report said

there was no nerve impingment but was touch my thecal sac? Anyway

untill the Brain MRI and nerve conduction test are done Im sitting

in limbo. Im on paroxetine 50 mg but have been on it for 5 years. I

was diagnosed with high blood pressure in October of 06 so Im on 5mg

of Lisonophil. My blood pressure has stayed level since Ive been on

it. Not high not low, doesnt explain my dizzyness. I also take 2

Darvocets 100/650 in morning and 2 tramodal in the morning then same

in the eve. I try to go without my nightime pain meds because usualy

Im only in pain in the morning or if Ive had a stressful day I

usualy not in much pain in afternoons and evenings unless as Ive

said Ive had a stressful day. However I found out that if I dont

take my pain meds in the evening before bed I wake up in alot of

pain in the morning and feel realy s***ty.

Im a stay home mom and love it. I love to hang out with my girl all

day. But I also go to school part time Majoring in Child

Development. I would love to run a good daycare in the future.

My son of course is in Kindergarten so hes gone during the day.

Anyway im rambling and probaly off track some. Ill respond to any

questions and I would love any insight on my illness. If I didnt

have my kids I would not be me:)

Welcome Deva. I hope you find some support here and I think you will. I also

hope they figure it all out. It is hard to deal with. I have a 5 and a 10 year

old. I know that is a busy job in itself. But at the same time, they are a

joy to our lives.

Take care

Welcome to the group, Deva. I strongly believe that I have it since I was

about 22, so that makes 32 years. It interfered with how much I was able to

attend things that my kids (I have 3 and they are now son, 32, son, 30 and

daughter, 28 and she has been dx'd with fibro) had going on in school, because

I

had to use the time that they were in school to get the rest that I needed

in order to take care of them when they got home from school. I have a

website that I love and have been sharing a lot, that I feel offers a lot of

good

info on fibro and its overlapping conditions. Here is the link...
