Hurting so bad. Pain is a level 8-9 all last night, this morning, and this afternoon.

Pain was bad the last couple of days as well, about a 6/7 and made me SO nauseas!

WEnt to doc yesterday:

Didn't even know it but I have bronchitis.  (AGAIN! - I keep getting it)

She is sending me to a cardiologist for a tilt table test to check for vaso vagal syncope, as it is common in people with CFS and I have had 3 of those episodes in the past 2 weeks.  I've had them before, but never got it checked out.

I am stopping LYRICA...SO GLAD!  That stuff worked at first, but not anymore and it has made me gain more weight and I'm already overweight..

I asked doc about thse supplements and she said they would be very good to take:

Co-Q10 - helps body to store ATP (ATP is body's main natural antioxidant)

MSM - for pain

D-Ribose - for energy

She wants me to definitey take

ATP-20 supplements (www.douglaslabs.com)

and B-12 shots..

as for returning to work, any work, highly unlikely.  - according to the doc.  I'm glad she is on my side..not many people can find docs who are understanding.  I think I'm still in partial denial, even though I suffer, I just keep thinking I'm going back to work, and I'm not..and deep down I know that. I just do not want to accept it.
