Hi,

My name is Nikki, I am a new to this. I have just recently been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia secondary to my Chronic Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I have had PTSD for 6 years now and have been suffering with all Fibromyalgia signs and symptoms since then but I have just been passed from pillar to post as no one knew what was causing my pain. Eventually I seen a consultant that knew straight away what was wrong.

With my PTSD I have been on Lyrica for 2 years at maximum does of 300mg twice a day and Citalopram once a day, therefore I have been put on a different tablet to help with the aches and pains.

Good morning and welcome to the forum nikkic20  I think you will find it very friendly.  We try to help one another out by swapping our experience of the illness but also have a laugh along the way.  If you have any questions there is normally someone out there who will try to help.

Have you had a chance to look at our mother site Fibromyalgia Action UK as there is a mass of information on there. I look forward to reading your future posts.

Just have a look at the right hand of your screen about locking your posts as you will get far more responses ad it makes your post and any answers exclusive to this forum.  If you dont your post and our replies can readily be accessed on places like Facebook etc.  If you are stuck I am sure an Admin. will be along soon to help you.x
