Close Fibromyalgia
I was diagnosed with FM in 1996. Since that time it has been a battle getting a good doctor. I think I finally found one back here in my old hometown. It is finally good to speak to someone who listens to you and is willing to find answers. I am a widow and my late husband was one of those people that thought it was all in my head. Now I can get the help I need after I have taken care of everyone else. About time.
Treatments
- Cyclobenzaprine Somewhat Helpful
- I take this at night in hopes of helping me sleep.
- Elavil Somewhat Helpful
- I have been on this some but this new doctor is going to try to work with some other meds and back off of this one.
- Heat Somewhat Helpful
- Sometimes this helps but not much.
- Neurontin Too Soon to Tell
- I have just started taking this and hope it will help. I couldn't use the Lyrica so we are trying this.
- Vitamin B12 Working / Worked
- Really cant see a difference at this time.
Close Families of Prisoners
I have a 30 year old son that is in prison here in Texas. He has been in prison ever since he was 21. This has been very hard for me as he is my baby, the youngest of 3 children. This makes it worse since it was a burglary and some one in the apartment. My son has had a lot of problems since he was very young. Living with a stepfather that was not very supportive or loving to my kids. I didn't get to see him until he was 30 years old. That really hurt.
Treatments
- Writing Somewhat Helpful
- I do journal writing and that gives me an outlet for all the things I feel about all of this.
