My older sister has FM and she got fired from her job a couple years ago because of memory problems. She was taking a lot of pain pills like Percocet and then eventually Morphine. Since then she has not worked and did not even try to get disability after the first denial. Finally when she was going to end up on the streets I took her in. My question is how many people out there with FM do not work, exercise and are on these kinds of medicines? Anytime she even so much as cleans up in the house a little she sleeps and can’t move for 2 days. I have read the exercise is very important for FM sufferers and I have done a lot of research on it. I know my family has done tons more research on it than even she has. She was once a vibrant, dedicated over-achiever who now is sooooo opposite! Any thoughts or help from anyone with FM or that knows someone with it is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have had this cold for about a week now its much better but i have been having a sore feeling in my tummy & today i felt so weak that i could hardly walk without falling over.
Some energy drink helped me to stop feeling so weak but i feel really tired and run down. I do have sleeping problems i dont sleep very well if i went to bed at 9 i will be lucky if i sleep untill 2 - 3am and when its time to wake up i fall back asleep again. I also have depression not on any meds not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I would be gr8full if you guys could give me some feedback.

A few years ago I was having terrible back pain - more then usual. My husband and mom talked me into visiting a chiropractor and he took x-rays and said I have sponylothesis. The x-rays showed my lower spine curved to the left and in that curve there were two vertibres that were out of alignment, the top one wash out in front of the bottom one by about 1/4".

He said I was born that way and it would just get worse as I age. He also said there was nothing he could do about it.

He was right. For the past 4 years I have been sleeping on the couch because the bed makes my back hurt. And I can only do about an hours worth of housework at a time. Also I have gotten to where I can only stand for about 5 minutes then my back starts to hurt. I then have to lean against something or sit down.

Basically, I want to know what the difference between scoliosis and spondylothesis is.

Thanks!

After hearing about SICKO (i havnt seen it) it just makes you wonder why we have to pay for it. If its between life and death, sure there going to save you but then you will die buried in bills. Insurance is becoming unaffordable.
