I've had fibro for the past 15 years - i contracted rheumatic fever and fifth's disease at the same time - and the pain just never left I do sleep a lot - and work very little. My life is very stressful right now - i'm moving soon and hopefully the stress will be somewhat relieved. I spent over 10 years taking prednisone and penicillin that an internist prescribed. I finally got with a pain management specialist and they put me on oxycontin - which I got off of this past May - the had kept upping my dose - i am now maintained on Norco (because I have diabetes) and Soma. The combination of these 2 seem to help with the pain - but the fatigue - haven't found anything that helps with that. I got lost in the Wal-mart parking lot Friday night and a man came up to me and asked me if I needed to go to the hospital - I told him I was looking for my car and was headed back up to the hospital when I found it (I had gone to pick up some things for a friend who was a patient) - it wasn't so funny then - but now I can laugh at the situation. |
