Hi everyone, my list of medications for fibro are: For Pain:sad: :Co-codamol which only helps a little and Gabapentin wich also helps neither take the pain away completely. I did take Tramadol in the past and it was very good for the pain but i was very alergic to it and had to stop taking it. For sleep:yawn:…

Hi necee99, i have had fibro for over 20 years and know how debilitating it can be.Everyone with fibro suffers in different ways and has to find an individual way of dealing with it. I find that if i dont do any exercise i stiffen up and have more pain but if i do to much i suffer more pain,it is so difficult to find the…

Hi everyone, Bookchick I’m glad you mentioned about the skin pain i struggle with that too,its very painful to have a crease in the sheets in bed or when your pj's bunch up and mine do that regular as i toss and turn most nights. I too don’t see my doc about fibro very often go to the hospital pain clinic every 8 months…

Hi pidnit, So sorry you’re having a tough time, living with Fibro throws up lots of challenges. Don’t be too hard on yourself take one day at a time and only do what you can when you can, sometimes when symptoms are bad just moving around at home can be exhausting never mind exercise. I find walking is best for me and even…

Hello, im 48 love cycling and also have two budgies along with a cockatiel 2 rabbits and 5 gerbils. I love chocolate but my favourite drink is dry cider. Sent you a friend request.

hi jaimierayner, Winter seems to cause us with fibro lots of trouble giving more pain and frustration.The pain and tiredness can make it very difficult to exercise,over the years i have found that walking has been the best form of exercise for me as a can do just 10 mins on a bad day or more on a good day. I too take a…

Hi LizPlus, yes the winter weather always makes my fibro worse and also getting older i find i cant do as much as i used to. Hi shreck5, I'm with you on the not planning anything, i never promise to do anything as i never know from day to day how im going to be. :flowerforyou:

Hi everyone, I’m doing ok with the healthy eating and have been on MFP for 25 days. I usually manage to stick to a healthy eating plan for about a month then life throws something at me and i falter and give up, but this time with everyone’s support i hope to break this habit. I have had Fibro for 28 years and during that…
