Ya know there is a board on Fibrohugs.com maybe I will wander over and check it out. I don't want to post anything asking if there is anyone in Baltimore/Washington area that wants to form a support group right off the bat or they will probably think I am some crazy lurking on their boards. But maybe they have a support group section on their boards like we do. I'll get back to ya on that.
About setting up a meeting I am one of those people who can never make a decision, drives my hubby crazy!! So you name the time and place and I'll be there unless its a big schedule conflict or something.(Which I doubt no life have 2 kids lol!) The best way to contact JenX is by e-mail she is not on boards much lately. I think her e-mail is in her profile??? Have to check?
Amyltriptaline? Probably about the only thing I haven't been on or am not currently on. I keep complaining to my doc that my biggest problem is lack of sleep which makes my body fall apart. He isn't listening as well as I would like. He keeps increasing my dosage of Effexor XR and swears it will raise my seriton (sp?) levels and help me sleep. Hasn't worked. And then he prescribed Flexaril which is a muscle relaxer that supposedly has a drowsy effect. Only problem is I still have trouble falling asleep but then can't get up in the a.m. b/c I am so groggy. I am on a slew of other things for my IBS, I take about 8 or 9 different pills a day or at least I was I just stopped b/c I don't think any were helping. Now I only take Nexium for my GERDS, SFS, Naproxen as needed, and Flexaril supposedly to get some sleep. Considering I felt like I pulled a muscle at work today just from reaching over the table to turn a page I would say I ain't doing so well!!
