Hi Everyone!! I'm so glad that you were all receptive to my post - as all of you know not everyone views fibromyalgia as "real". I have suffered for years too and am now seeing a rheumalogist, family doctor, chiropractor and am set up to see a nutritionist. I take Cymbalta to raise my serotonin levels (which have been out of "whack" for years and have caused migraines long before the fibro pain) and started Lyrica a few weeks ago. I'm getting better sleep and think that I am getting all the proper sleep cycles with the Lyrica and am feeling less exhausted. As fair as pain....well lets just say it's work in progress. Living in Michigan with the weather is rough, my pain started up worse late yesterday, I think in anticipation of todays rain and storms - funny how our bodies know before the weather people do!!! Anyhow, thanks for supporting my efforts and the encouragement - I painted my toe nails purple last night and will proudly wear my purple beaded watch and shirt today for all of you and hope they find a cure for us all soon. Hugs and kisses to each of you!
