I know we have some Fibromites among us. This rambling of mine may touch someone else - as you too, struggle to make sense of this crazy illness. God Bless, JK

Having gone through 10 years of chronic Lyme disease I can understand a little of what you are saying. I DO admire your effort and pray for your recovery.

God bless, help, and keep you always.

Prayers for you, I'm a massage therapist who works with fibromyalgia patients. The illness is very real, and very debilitating.

Most of the referrals I get are from MD's and Chiropractors, you might consider adding massage to your treatment if you haven't already.

Thanks guys for your kind words. Yesterday was such a bad day, but today I am reviving again!

The secret, is to not stay in the hole for long after I have fallen in!

Thanks again, JK

I would like to to mention that some people that I have known with fibromyalgia have actually had stomach ulcers (actually esophagal) and menopause. The pain wasn't localized from the ulcer. The menopause was just troublesome. These are two conditions (among others) to check on.

Not that fibromyalgia isn't a problem, just that diagnosis is not easy.

Good for you. You have to do what's best for you.
I, myself, don't tolerate pain well & I get really upset on the (rare) occasions where I am in a lot of pain, and the medicine I'm given isn't strong enough to counter the pain. I'm definitely one of those who cannot heal as well if I'm in pain while I'm trying to get well.

Good luck to you!
