Thank you for your post . I joined this group a few months ago when I was

diagnosed, but things were just too overwhelming for me to

even try to post and read messages in the group then. They still are for me, but

I'm trying to do something to snap out of my fog. I just cannot

understand why I'm okay one day,then wake up the next day hurting and by the end

of the week I'm in so much pain I thought I was dying. I

would lay in bed at night and cry from the pain and told my husband a number of

times I had to go to the ER because it hurt so bad I thought

something was really wrong and I was dying. I'm 32, and I have 3 small

children. I'm not ready for death yet - but after I finally got the Fibro

diagnosis, they left me with little hope of improvement. The pain has been

overwhelming. I haven't been able to work, take care of my kids,

or my house. I used to have a clean and organized home, all the meals were

cooked by me. Now I don't do any of that, I just can't. I cannot

work either, but so far can not get disability. My doctor keeps trying to give

me wimpy pain meds that do nothing for me. So I got more and

more depressed. I also attempted suicide a few months ago. Everything seeemed

so hopeless, and that I was just a dead weight to my family

more than anything else. How can I contribute to their lives and share

experiences when I can hardly get out of bed? I just feel like I'm ruining

my children's childhood. They deserve better, and more. It's overwhelming guilt

for me to think of my kids and my pain. I want to do something

or find something that will wake me up from this nightmare of Fibro, but I can't

find anything. So many people out there claim to have the answer

to cure fibro, so I try it, and no results and less hope. It is very difficult.

I appreciate having a place to go and share these thoughts and experiences with

people who can relate and have the same themselves. That was

a long thank you, huh? lol

Welcome to the new people too. Glad to have you here, sorry it's under these

circumstances!

Hi and welcome to the group!!! I am and I am Dazed and Confused!!!

lol. I just got up and i'm experiencing vertigo for the moment but it'll pass. I

think of myself as the under-medicated drama prince for comparison sake. I am

DISabled for 15yrss and the cost of my meds exceed my income(SSD). I have

several health issues as well and was DXd w/FM 9 mo. ago and I joined this group

that very day because I didn't have a clue as to what I was up against. I had

been in pain for about 4 yrs, and had no idea WHY? I was totaly DISmissed by 2

Drs. prior to my DX so I don't have

a very high opinion of Drs. I'm takinh

Celexa,Strattera,Klonopin,Ambien,Robaxin,Lotrel,Prilosec,300mg. Lyrica per day

and a couple other meds but I have no pain pills as my current quaso PCP would

only give me 30 Darvacet 2 weeks ago as she is afraid of the DEA ! Enough about

myself!!!

I have founf this to be a very wonderfull group the past 9 months I've been a

member. Members have Loved me,encouraged me and supported me even thru a suicide

attempt w/out condemning me. I Hope YOU find the

Love,encouragement and support I have found in this group!

GOD Bless YOU ! ! ! . . .
