A blond dyed her hair brown because she was tired of being picked on, She was driving along the countryside when she got a bright idea and stopped at a nearby farm. she said to the farmer "If i can tell you how many sheep you have in total can I have one?" "ok" said the farmer, so she quickly counted them and said 91. The farmer looked around astonished and said "alright take one" As she was walking back to her car the farmer said "If i can guess your natural hair colour can i have my dog back?"

Close Fibromyalgia
I have had Fibro for many years now but the last couple have been the worst. I was only diagnosed at the end of last year because the doctors didn't believe me. It turns out I have also had Rheumatic Fever for about 10 years that went undiagnosed and is probably what caused my Fibro. I am only 28 years old so it is doubly hard because I live in a small town and nobody understands what i go through and/or don't believe me. I just went through my worst flare up ever which was scary.
Treatments
- Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
- Worked wonderful for about 3 months, one of the best I had ever took but after 3 months it just stopped working all together and I was having bad thoughts which i had never had before, increasing it only made the thoughts and negative effects worse.
- Effexor Not Working
- I had a bad reaction to it and after one day knew i couldn't take it. My body felt like lead and I couldn't even move.
- Heat Working / Worked
- I use a heating pad a lot, especially in winter. In winter it helps with aches and pains and also with temperature problems. It also helps to relax tense and hurting muscles.
- Vitamin B12 Working / Worked
- I take it on my own and haven't tried the IV therapy yet but the one I take is a B complex and it says on the bottle to help with metabolism and when I'm not flaring it really helps with energy.
- Paxil Too Soon to Tell
- So far it seems to be working. It helps a little with pain and so far a lot with depression except when I was flaring.
- Ultram Working / Worked
- Just started it. It helped me get through a horrible flare up. Not all pain is gone but I don't want to up it till I have to, it helps a lot and I seem to have more energy.
- Lidoderm Working / Worked
- It helps numb the pain and makes me feel really relaxed which is good but not for day time. Started using at night and it helps a lot and helps me sleep a lot better.
Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Just looking for info. I have fibro but am worried about MS. Was told by a woman that took care of someone with MS for 16yrs that my symptoms were like the way his started.
