Hi today I was told I have Fybromalgia after years of unending pain it finally has a name! As well as being constantly tired its the pain that gets to me going to see a Rheumotolist on the 12th so I am hoping and praying she can help! Reading some of these comments makes me very scared of the future as I battle just to get through each day! At least I now know I’m not crazy!

Well, it sure sounds like I’m not alone. Mine was diagnosed in 2005 when my mom was dying…and it’s been getting worse since. Here it is, 2013 and have made no progress. I am on oxycondone for pain but my biggest complaint is fatigue and tiredness and being sleepy all the time. My head is cloudy and I can’t think or remember things. It’s so devastating. Glad I found this place.

My vitamins are Nature’s Way multi Alive- Kelp 150 mcg- DHEA 100 mg
B complex with vit C 2 caps – and D3 2000 IU. No pop- one cup of brewed coffee- lots water or flavored- and my Doc is an internal medicine Doc that keeps up in Fibro news and takes My health and wellness serious. Hope this helps!

My Doc is cool about my Fibro. He tells me how much vitiams and what kind to take and makes sure I am taking enough of them by checking my blood. He also says “Yoga” and it does help and getting 9 hours of sleep by taking 1 to 2 capsules of Ibu Nitetime hour before bed along with eating a banana. Eat yogurt and eat a sweet n salty Almond bar a day.
Drink Oj once a day. Eat less takeout.

I’m 62 and live in West Australia. My GP doesn’t understand my exhaustion, I dont believe he ever learnt about the condition at medical school. I need to do small painting jobs, like paint a chair and paint around a door frame, but just the thought of beginning the chore is so overwhelming because I dont even have the energy to collect the items to do the job let alone start it.

I think all you ladies are inspiring I was diagnosed 2 years ago but I think I have had it for ages. I am trying all the natural things. The meds didn’t really work and I didn’t want to go to the next level of pain killers yet. But as you all say, the fatigue is the killer. Chin up, build a bridge and get over it, I say to myself. Good luck, I will be looking on this site.

I just wanted to mention.. that I recently had all my blood work done 24 vials for 52 tests! lol it was after reading a article re: fibro could be hormone related. Well it came back low testosterone, estrogen, many nutrient deficiency, but most surprising was very low HGH-Human Growth hormone..very abnormal but systems of low HGH were identical to fibro?? So please get yourself checked, sissy

I have suffered with fibro since a car accident in 2005…and Cathy Turner I can’t express my feelings any better then the way you put it…Cathy, sounds like we both need a new friend. Anyway I was 44 when I was diagnosed usual symptoms on top of whiplash ..After all these years I agree the fatigue is he most disabling of all…

I was so happy to find this site. I developed a diagnoses of Chronic Fatigue Sndrome after a emotional trauma (younger brother died) happened in my life. After some time my symptoms eased off, I fell on the ice and then after a year was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. My point being trauma of any kind can bring on this awlful disease. This all started in 1994 and I am still here in pain.

Diane, I’ve tried just about everything, and have decided that NADH is the best – try 5mg first. Very close second would have to be Corvalen (D-Ribose). I now workout with a trainer 2x a week, and babysit my twin grandaughters 2-3x weekly. Developed FMS 2003. Blessings to you.
