    About Me

    I'm an energetic individual who loves to be active when I can. I've had fibro since I was 17. I have good days and bad days. When I can't cope, I go to my room and cry to release. I'm lucky to have a small group of friends that understands me. The only thing that bothers me are my trigger points. Especially the one at the base of my skull. That's the one that creates the migraines. I just try to get through each day with minimal pain.

    Interests

    Bowling, Dance Dance Revolution, reading and writing fanfiction.

    • Hug

      From msvee April 12

      I wish I could share my support system with you, but since I can't here's a hug. This site is a lifesaver because even the most empathetic person w/o fibro can't fully relate.

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I was 17 when I was diagnosed with RSD, then a couple of years later it was found out that I have fibromyalgia. I thank my neurologist who has helped me through everything. I should bake him a cake...

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Not Working
      Cymbalta killed me. The side effects were worse than it actually helping. Will never take it again.
      Heat Working / Worked
      I use heat pads when I've had a tough day or when my neck doesn't want to cooperate. It really helps to loosen my muscles a bit.
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      I love this stuff. It calms my RSD down to just enough where I can function. It also helps me being able to tolerate touches and noises where I couldn't before.
      TENS Somewhat Helpful
      TENS helped my nerves actually send signals through to my muscles. I use it every once in a while when my arm won't function for me.
      Ultram Somewhat Helpful
      It is a tiny bit helpful, but I've built up such a tolerance to pain aids that sometimes it doesn't work.
      Zanaflex Working / Worked
      This is awesome. It helps me to relax to sleep at night. It temporarily loosens the tender point in my neck so I can get a decent nights sleep.
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I've developed depression because of my fibromyalgia. That, and recent events in my life.

      Treatments

      Cymbalta Not Working
      Horrible side effects. Made my depression worse. Thought about suicide all the time.
      Meditation Working / Worked
      Helps me find my center of being. Relaxes me.
      Psychotherapy Not Working
      Counseling just kept repeating things, and not made any effort go focus on a path to wellness.
      Writing Somewhat Helpful
      I try to keep track of everyday things, so that I can tell what sets me off.
    • Open Chronic Pain

      Chronic pain due to fibromyalgia and reflex sympathetic dystrophy.

      Treatments

      Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
      helped with the migraines. unfortunately insurance don't cover it, and I can't afford it.
      Cymbalta Not Working
      hell no to this. never again. hated the side effects: slept all day, hallucinations, night terrors, etc. NEVER AGAIN
      Heat Working / Worked
      works with the muscle aches
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      helps to dim the pain and let me function.
      Lidoderm Working / Worked
      helps target specific spots where pain is a little worse.
      Lyrica Somewhat Helpful
      helped take the edge of the fibro...but don't lie the side effects of weight gain and craving sweets.
      Naproxen Somewhat Helpful
      somewhat helpful for me, make me not feel so achy.
      Nerve Blocks Working / Worked
      they've worked...to initially get everythin' under control.
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      I take this for RSD. works tremendously. helps me relax and not let everything grate on my nerves.
      Oxycodone Working / Worked
      this stuff is awesome for getting rid of every ache and pain I have. this lets me get through the day with only feeling a little tired.
      Topamax Working / Worked
      helped control migraines. also super weight loss.
