Not coping

Feel like no one else can help! I'm a sitting duck! Go to gp and they either brush over that you have fibro like they don't believe in it... or they look at you with blackness as nothing else they can suggest for you to do other than up the medication.

Hey cauldernatasha

I'm really sorry you feel like you aren't getting the help and support that you need. I am guessing from your post that you don't want to take medication is that correct? Xxx

There is maybe not much else your GP can do. Accepting might be the only way forward. Have you been to a pain clinic at all? I think the medical profession really struggle with people like us. They are great if they can fix it (like broken bones) but don't know what to to with fibromyalgia

Bless it really does get the better of us all, Constant daily pain no quality sleep and all creates such a low mood.It's trial and error something that works a bit one day does nowt the next day.I swear by cod liver oil +omega3 capsules (bedtime no hot drinks or yuk taste)also magnesium oil spray and magnesium flakes in bath.Heat pads enough pillows to start a shop positioned all over bed.Throw all you can at fibro it's all you can do .Keep your chin up Xx
