About Me
I am a philosopher. I live alone. I suffer from Fibromyalgia. I am spiritual but not religious by way of any organized religion. Formerly a lecturer and researcher in the social sciences, actually a psychologist, a designation or appellation that I have renounced and discarded as I have the institution of religion. Never married. My passions are music, mathematics, philosophy East and West, reading, writing, meditation and dogs. I love beauty, honesty, simplicity, knowledge and truth. QED.

Close Fibromyalgia
I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia nineteen years ago. For eleven years I managed to work having to take take huge amounts of primary analgesics and med for sleep. After that the analgesics began to work only minimally and I had to stop working and get disability. Over the past three years matters have become so worse that no pain medication works and I am in constant pain. I had to find my dogs alternate good homes as I could not take care of them and I had to suspend a half-completed PhD.
Treatments
- 5-HTP Not Working
- Sorry no luck for me.
- Acupuncture Not Working
- I tried acupncture at various times but with no result unfortunately.
- Duragesic Patch Somewhat Helpful
- Helped but had to have muscle relaxant with it. Problem was that I became tolerant to it and could not increase dose as I would be addicted.
- Effexor Somewhat Helpful
- Did not help with pain but combined with Rameron at night helped well with sleep until this combnation eventaually stopped working even for sleep. Side effects were troublesome.
- Elavil Somewhat Helpful
- I took 300mg at night for sleep/insomnia. The maximum dose possible was prescribed as lower doses did not work but eventually too toxic to my system and had to change to something else.
- Lyrica Not Working
- It did not work at all!
- Morphine Somewhat Helpful
- It did work but only when combined with muscle relaxant. I became tolerant and addicted to both, i.e. the combination - so had to stop.
- Neurontin Somewhat Helpful
- Helped very well in combination with another anti-convulsant and anti-depressant for sleep. But for some reason just stoppped working and would just not work by trying subsequently after allowing some time to lapse.
- Ultram Not Working
- Sorry no luck for me.
- Vitamin B12 Not Working
- Did not work to releve any symptoms.
