I am right there with ya sista! I am a 43 yr old of 3 grown sons. Thank goodness that they are old enough to take care of themselves, lol... I don't know what I'd do. I was just diagnosed with this 3 & 1/2 yrs ago also. I have had depression and chronic fatigue syndrome for longer than what they are saying. I have been searching for a cure when I truly understood what it was that I actually had and have. I am still searching. I felt real alone there for a long time and then I started finding friends out there that have this also. Some are on meds while some are not. I am on 100mg /Savella twice a day, 600mg/Gabapentin three times a day, two 50mg tabs of tramadol EVERY 4 hrs. Then I take a muscle relaxor just sometimes at nite. Methocarbinol (sp?) 725mg?? I am very interested to hear about this new treatment you will be on. Please keep us informed. Thank you for posting this blog. jld
Thanks Alexis, I have in the past tried Lyric and it was great at reducing the pain.Unfortunatly it also put another fifteen kilos.....
Due to my heart condition I had to go off it, that was a scary time knowing that the pain would soon again return. I now take Cymbalta,but am very limited with options due to the high amount of allergic reactions I have had previously.
Take care....Will keep you posted,tomorow is the first day,fingers crossed.
