  • I have fibromyalgia and just try to move more each day. I like yoga when I can fit it in. I have tried to get more sleep but that doesn’t work for me. Sometimes it seems the more I sleep the more I hurt. I think that is because we don’t get into the deep sleep like everyone else does and I just toss and turn. The doctor…

  • I have not found one yet that didn’t give me major side effects since I had my last baby. It is not worth the pain relief for the side effects. I am slowly trying to change my diet and add exercise to see if that will help. I am thinking of giving up on meds and trying supplements.
  • I was on Lyrica ( which worked great) before having my last bat but since I had him I can’t take it due to side effects. Lately my doctor has had me try antidepressants lexapro and elavil. My doctor made a comment at my last visit that he doesn’t prescribe narcotics for fibro. I told him that is not what I am looking for.…

  • Welcome and good luck. I just had blood work done yesterday to see if I have hypothyroidism. All of a sudden I have been unable to lose weight along with many other symptoms. You can do this. Take it one day at a time.

  • I work from home and some days find it hard to find the motivation to work out. I have 4 kids that don't help either. Feel free to add me.
  • I like to keep my friends to a minimum so I can I interact with them. I like the motivation portion of having friends. I think others just like seeing a high number of friends.
