My life

[Health771]

Hi, Ive suffered spondlylothesis for 13 years and fibromyalgia since having a car accident 4 years ago! Im on lots of meds. I asked my Gp for duloxetine but they declined me.

I see chronic pain and cbt and they have tried to help , I just don’t no what to do about all this. I try to keep going , I was so active and mobile and now I’m not that person I once was, I worked full time now I’ve been signed off as someone watched me one day and saw I couldn’t walk 50 meters ! Fibro is so horrible but I’m glad I understand it now

I'm sure everyone on this forum can relate to your post, health771. This disease is like a spider, building webs all over our bodies, cutting us off from our previous lives in so many ways. Wish I knew a solution other than living within its limits but having peeps to chat to, have a moan with and share the gallows humour which can keep us from depression helps a lot, I find. Love and hugs xx
