I’m With You
How long have you guys been married? I'm sure you must have mixed emotions, hang in there and follow good sense about protecting yourself....any kids? My story is......my husband came to me one evening and said he has been thinking for the last couple of years that he wants to leave our marriage, I had NO clue this was coming, well its been 2 months and I am moving forward, although some days are harder than others, and the other way around. He and I had fun together and laughed a lot, our friends and family were totaly surprised about his spontinuity about leaving.

Close Fibromyalgia
I've been recently diagnosed and am fighting it. It will cause me to stop working at my dream job, not to mention there's no cure. If after the second opinion I'm stuck with it, I'm going to pursue all possible avenues to reduce the effects. I'm stubborn and not willing to feel like this for the rest of my life without a serious fight.
Treatments

- The day I have it I stand taller and breathe easier.
- Guaifenesin Working / Worked
- I'm trying it...don't know if it's helping anything but my allergy-induced mucus.
- Heat Working / Worked
- I use a mattress-top bedwarmer from Costco. Helps ease the aches.
- Lyrica Working / Worked
