Jeanne Does fibro pain afffect heads?

[Guest guest]

Yes, I know my mind is messed up, but I'm not sure of the extent of it. I went

to a psychiatrist for years and years and have been on just about every

anti-depressant there is...and they just don't work on me, and give me strange

side affects. I tried counseling in the last year, but the first thing they

wanted to do was put me on meds...that I had tried with my psychiatrist and knew

wouldn't do a thing for me except make me very sick. I was on anti-depressants

for years, and I've been off of them for about 2 years, and I don't feel any

different. I just feel that I'm so messed up that I should isolate myself so I

don't stress my family.

Oh Nancie - Your mind sure is messed up right now. I know how difficult

that is. I get headaches that I believe are fibro related. As far as I

know, there are thin muscles surrounding the skull. I woke up this morning

with nasty head pain in the back, left side of my head. It is still

recovering from my chiropractic adjustment. I went too long in between

adjustments, so it would be normal to take a bit longer to recover. After

being up for a while and take extra strength Tylenol, it passed.

Are you getting any counseling or psychiatric care? You are crying out

for help when you say things like asking your son to shoot you. Please seek

some help from somewhere, even a suicide hotline. We can only do so much

online. I hope that knowing you're not suffering alone will be of some

help.
