Fibromyalgia
by: Jeanette on Thu, Feb 28 2008

It started in Feb. of 2001. I thought i had the flu, but it lasted two months. Nobody knew what was wrong. I actually had one doctor tell me it just might go away. I switched doctors. The next doctor after about a year and a half diagnosed me with Chronic Fatigue Syndrom. That is all i did was sleep. Then the pain came and she wouldn’t help with the pain. I went to another doctor that diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia. My life totally changed. I didn’t have one anymore. I am so fatigued all the time. It doesn’t matter how much sleep I get, I never get into that REM stage of sleep. The pain is awful in the morning, my upper back, knees, hip, elbows, ect. You name it and it hurts. Also i have real bad PMS

I just started on wellbutrin SR 150mg, it really isn’t working except i am sleeping for longer periods without waking up. It was supposed to help with my fatigue. I might ask my doctor to raise the dosage. I take percocets for pain. He doesn’t give me enough. I only have three a day. I also have Gerd which is caused from fibromyalgia. I take prilosec for that and it works great. I put on weight because i am too tired to exercise. It is real hard wanting to do things or go out but you don’t want to ruin everyones time because you get fatigued so fast. I hope this can help somebody. I didn’t have anything. It is real, don’t let anyone tell you its all in your head.

  • Fibromyalgia has saved my life. - by Michele - (Wed, Feb 06 2008)
    My story is very similar to most - Years of pain, doctors not knowing what was wrong - misdiagnosis. - Relief when finally diagnosed - depression finding out there was no real treatment or cure available. The part where my story changes is that I am doing very well now. [more..]
