    About Me

    Hello, I was dx'd with Fibromyalgia in 1995. I have constant pain in my body and headaches. I have a lot of twitches and things going on. I had a MRI 2 years ago showing 20 + Lesions. So now possible MS. I also have tested positive for Lyme. I did 5 months of antibiotics they seem to help with the headaches and leg pain but i am still so fatigued and twitchy and weak. My neuro is running more tests to rule out MS. I just want to know forsure what I have so I can deal with it! Limbo sucks!!

        From slrow February 15

        Welcome, I can tell you that you are gonna have a rough road ahead of you.I had been mis diagnosed all my life. I am 37 now. Probably had this since birth ( from my mom in preganacy) I have seen some of my states top docs at Johns Hopkins hosp. and was told that it had advanced so much that nothing could be done. Ironically after all the doctors and even my Lyme doc I am now being treated at a CF and Fibro center in Piladelphia and found out that I have no thyroid function or adrenal function. No wonder I don't feel well! So there is a point where they combine. I have them due to my Lymes. My daughter and husband have it also ( thanks to me!!!!) they don't have any real major symptoms yet though. Thanks to my God for that. So just do alot of reasearch. It is a very confusing disease and alot of different treatments. None of the antibiotics helped me though. I still have neck and back and joint pain, and bouts of depression countless symptoms. I know there is only one physician that is going to help me and that ia the Great Physician Jesus. I wish you the best. I am glad you have support system at home. If it weren't for my husband I don't think I would be here. We know our body best so just listen to it you know when something isn't working. I even had to quit my job of ten years in Nov. That killed me. I was a Kindergarten Assistant and I loved my job. It doesn't help that they are making it worse to get and find a doctor to treat it because they are scared to loose their lisence. Just make sure you have a LLmd. Best of luck. God Bless, Sherry
