I don't really know what I can tell you. It's very painful, there is no cure, at times you wish you were dead, and you aren't the only one out there suffering. Well, after that what more can I say. I have it on top of a lot worse of a disease, so I sort of consider it just a part of my life. I am not sure how many points there are to having fibromyalgia, I think it may have been 9, when I was tested by my Rhumetologist, and I think he said I had 8 of them that were inflammed. It's worse when the weather turns bad, I hate when I hear it's going to rain, I just want to take as many pain pills as I can. I don't know if you have a good Rhuemotologist or neurologist, but I suggest that you get them, they can be very helpful. There are some drugs out there that I think are somewhat helpful, I would say that topomax is pretty good, but I have been doing some reading and apparenetly lyrica is the new drug of choice. I also think that skelaxin can be a life saver. Try talking to doctors see what they have to say to you.

I have it. Stress makes mine worse. There are days at my job that the stress is unreal. Halfway through the day, the pain starts, and I am barely able to drive home. I go home and take Naproxen and go to bed after eating something because I am exhausted and have no energy.
