Was diagnosed 2 mnths ago and feel rubbish, trying to sort meds out can't take tramodol for pain due to side affects, going cold turkey with citalapram so doc can put me on new ones, please tell me that I can lead a normal life with this fibroymialga, I'm an upbeat kind of girl but have to admit struggling a bit here, any comments I would appreciate.

hi welcome to the site, i am haivng a bit of a relapse at the mo very ill but for 4 years i had it all in control, takes time and understanding for it all to get on top some days will be better than others. but my advice is listen to yourself rest when need to, eat when need to and dotn over do it as i did at the beginning and it did me in, every one is different so got to listen to you, i take solpadol for pain and heat pads or warm baths to ease muscle things will get better never be same sorry but will get better gentle hugs
