fibromyalgia

[annaaa40]

Hi everyone, thank you for not ignoring me and trying to help. I did not sleep after 45 mg co-codeine and yes next day constipated.

About my fibromyalgia, I'm 48 years I live with pain especially in my legs and headache last 15 years. I live all the time on Paracetamol and Ibuprofen. This year I have done 2 MRI scans to check my head they saw some white dots but my doctor said it's nothing serious. last year I took Pregabalin but it's not reliable help me. And I decided not to experiment with pills. I think you getting used to living with pain. Sometimes I got so much pain and it scares me but I take painkillers and go to work with my pain ( I'm working care home in the kitchen, which we are always busy but I love my job) My husband always sed don't go to work stay at home but I always told him I'm not staying home, I prefer being busy than lying in bed and feeling like dying. I don't know how fibromyalgia works but I feel better in the summer. I know everyone is different and have different pain filing but I try just to live a normal life sometimes it's very hard sometimes not too bad. I wish everyone to be healthy, happy and have a lot of patience.

Morning Anna such a shame we have to live with so !much pain . It be worth while speaking with GP who can refers to pain clinic who can speak about different approaches to managing painI also feel better on summer of on the sun so I try and go abroad for a week in winter just to get some relief from the intensity of it all. It helps.

Anyway try and give yourself some down time and mediation can also help

Take care
