Re: official diagnosis obtained....       04/29/04 05:30 PM Edit Reply Quote LauraSue Reged: 01/14/04 Posts: 4812 Loc: New York City Aw, Jen, welcome to the club. Not fun at all, but what can we do. When I was diagnosed, it was actually kind of relief, as it validated my symptoms and explained a lot about my life. The FMNet site is one of the best. I subscribe to their newsletter which is excellent, especially on new research on meds and stuff. There truthfully isn't a lot that doctors can do, so don't be too frustrated if they can't "fix it" immediately. The two main things are exactly what you've been started on, correcting the sleep problem and treating the pain. FYI, I'm on Elavil and OTC benadryl for sleep and for the pain, I take generic Tylenol and Ultram, a non-narcotic prescription pain killer. That keeps me pretty stable, except when I overdo it or have a crisis like my poor kitty dying last weekend. The good news is it's not progressive and it's not fatal. It just a pain in the neck...and the back...and the legs...and the arms... and the feet...and the hands....and the head...and the neck. Oh, I said that already. Oh yeah then there's the fibro fog. The other day I put the bread in the refrigerator rather than the breadbox. Two days before that I put the cat's container of food with the plastic lid on it carefully down on the floor where her dish goes, rather than in the refrigerator. So you might want to dye your hair blond, so you can say you're having a "blond moment." (No offense to all you pretty ladies on the board, it just sounds a lot sexier than a "senior moment.") Seriously, Jen, I'm so sorry to hear you've got it, too. But hang in there. Throw a great big pity party for yourself, then gradually move on. I wish I could give you a great big (((((((((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))) right now. Love ya. -------------------- Laura Keep it simple! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
