    Give fibromom61 a hug

      From LesleeJay Yesterday

      Hello MB, I take Nerontin 400mgs 4 times a day. If I can't sleep at night because of pain, I can take another 400mgs. I take 7.5 mgs Vicodin every 4 hours. It sounds like you are taking quite a bit of that. 8 years ago, when fibro first started coming on, I was a size 8 at 130 pounds. Today, I'm a size 14 so knowing what med where changed my weight, it's hard to say.

      The nuerontin is actually an anti-seizure medication & a nerve pain med. I don't know what I would do without it. I don't like it in the respect that it does make this chubby girl eat too, lol. Many prayers, love & hugs to you today MB.

      Thank the Lord! What good news, MB. I'm not sure what you mean by head drugs; please elaborate. I was wondering what cholesterol med you are on. I too have high chol. but couldn't tolerate the med because muscle pain is one of it's side effects. I have did a complete dietary change & I'm trying to walk some. But I just can't take that med. I pray your day is well! Much love & hugs, Les.

      I will keep you in my thoughts & prayers Monday. I guess I forgot to tell you that I went to a church here in NM last Sunday & plan on going back. It was so spirit-filled. Much love & hugs my friend.

      I AM 46 WORKING MOTHER SEARCHING FOR HELP FINDING WHAT WORKS FOR FIBROYALGIA. MY PAIN IS SO INTENSE IT IS UNBELIEVABLE. THOSE WHO LOVE ME BELIEVE ME AND I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND DOCTORS WHO CARE. THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO DO AND TELL ME TO FIND SOMETHING THAT WORKS. I SPEND OVER HALF MY DAY IN TEARS AND I NEVER HAVE A DAY WITHOUT PAIN. MY FAMILY THANK GOD IS SUPPORTIVE BUT I NEED TO FIND SOME WAY TO DEAL WITH THIS PAIN.
