About Me
I'm in graduate school working (trying to) on my thesis. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 6 years ago but had it for 8. It was pretty bad, where I couldn't get out of bed without assistance but found a wonderful doctor who has helped me tremendously. He is an osteopathic and manipulative medicine doctor and uses trigger point therapy on me. I was recently cheated on by the man I planned on marrying and having children with. I am still very sad and hurt about it.
Interests
Drag racing, movies, TV, gossip magazines, school (I'm a nerd), reading (chick lit).

Support Groups
- Close Fibromyalgia
  I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 5 years ago. It took 3-4 years to finally get a diagnosis. I have tried many things for relief.
  Treatments
  
  Adderall Working / Worked
  
  sometimes it helps with fatigue but other times I can take it and fall asleep
  
  Cyclobenzaprine Working / Worked
  
  I use this to sleep at night (sleeping meds. didn't work)
  
  Effexor Working / Worked
  
  This helped with anxiety and depression but was too expensive so I switched
  
  Elavil Not Working
  
  was given to help with sleep but didn't work.
  
  TENS Not Working
  
  This didn't work at all! It kind of distracted me but felt no improvement in movement or pain relief
  
  Ultram Working / Worked
  
  I take this daily, it takes the edge off the pain when the pains real bad I have to take something stronger.
  
  Relafen Working / Worked
  
  This helps me with joint stiffness.
  
  Oxycodone Working / Worked
  
  I take this only when my pain is unbearable.
- Close Breakups & Divorce
  I caught him cheating on me two weeks ago today. I am crushed. We were planning our future together talking about kids and marriage and he threw it all away. I miss him so much!
  Treatments
  
  Forgiveness Working / Worked
  
  I forgave him right away because I don't want to hang on to anger. Now I wish the hurt would go away! I know that I can never be with him again. I don't want to be hurt like that again and there is always the possibility that he'd do it again. I need someone like me that could never imagine cheating.
  
  Reading Working / Worked
  
  I ordered a bunch of self help books but they haven't arrived yet.
  
  Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
  
  It helps knowing that they care about me and my best friend is going through a similar situation (that makes me more sad).
  
  Talking Working / Worked
  
  It helps but I can't stop crying when I do talk. I just want to move on.

  I know with time I'll feel better but right now time just isn't fast enough.
- Open Migraine Headaches
  I've had migraines since I was 5 years old.

  This worked but I can't afford it.
  
  Relpax Working / Worked
  
  This is what I take now. It works and I have no side effects.

  This made me very stupid! I failed a class before I realized it was the medicine.

  I take this and it helps. I don't experience side effects.

- Open Infidelity
  The jackass cheated on me with his x; apparently he wasn't over her. Cant blame him, wouldn't everyone want to be with a lying, cheating, thieving, drug addicted, alcoholic, skank that doesn't even have custody of her child. Sent him to jail three times because she was drunk and mad and is possibly facing prison time because she claimed he hit her because she thought they'd give her his house.
  Treatments
  
  Forgiveness Working / Worked
  
  I really have forgiven him but I am still upset about it and extremely hurt.
  
  Leave Working / Worked
