Close Fibromyalgia
Was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 14 years ago. The first 4-5 years were the worst, and for a while I felt like I lost my life. I'm doing okay these days, but the battle with pain is there every day. My birthmother also has FMS.
Treatments
- Acupuncture Somewhat Helpful
- Only had 2 or 3 treatments. Finances made me stop.
- Elavil Working / Worked
- Worked well while I was on it. Had to get off of it after a couple of years due to side effects.
- Guaifenesin Not Working
- Didn't notice any difference, stopped after about 8 months.
- Lexapro Working / Worked
- There is something with the antidepressant that keeps my FMS under control. Limited side effects from this medication..helps with sleep.
- Paxil Working / Worked
- Took after the elavil and before the lexapro. Worked good, horrifying to get off of, my doc switched me because of weight gain and other side effects.
Close Codependency
My little sister is now a recovering alcoholic. Because an elderly parent and 2 children are involved in the situation, it still gets difficult at times. Even when someone is in recovery, there are still alot of issues to deal with.
Treatments
- 12 Step Program Working / Worked
- Alanon has been wonderful. Remembering what I can and cannot control, and remembering to live my own life are the biggest issues for me.
- Reading Working / Worked
- I have several Hazelton books that have daily readings. They have been great, and many times I hear exactly what I need to hear that day.
