I have been diag. since 1982. when it was known as fibrositis.
I started a diary/personal thread here on living with an invisible illness..which includes so many syndromes..
i take cymbalta 2x a day..along with a few other meds.. as everyone else..good days and bad days..
in my signature, the "spoon theory" was written by christine, who has Lupus.
Lupus and FMS are usually interchangeable, with mis-diagnosis.
there are alot of us here,with FMS,CFS,Lupus and others..quilting and doing normal things..are always a struggle. But i have learned to work around it and just make do..My memory is the worst of it most times..i don't do anything with out writing it down on a dry erase board..and my calendar..
if you need someone to talk to, we are all here..to listen to help and to offer support! Kim
