I have been diagnosed with fibromalgia for aout five years, but I now realize that I have been suffering with this disorder for many years before my diagnosis. I do take medications, mostly for pain management but I have tried a variety of drug therapies and am very fortunate to have a physician who is a member of the National Fibromalgia Network and is very learned and experienced in this disorder. I have really bad days and some better, but also feel that depression and environment plays a pivotal factor in how I feel. I also feel the weather plays a role in my general well being. But I think my worst problems next to coping with the pain and gross fatigue is dealing with work, friends, family, etc. I would be very happy to share information, feelings, thoughts and ideas with anyone who suffers from fibro.
