Okay -- I have fibromyalgia, which basically means chronic pain all over my body and an inability to get restful sleep, so what the hell am I doing starting a blog? Well, it all comes down to this: I have a lot to say! And I don't always say it all, or as much as I want to, and then the thoughts end up circling in my head when I'm trying to sleep or when I'm really too exhausted to think but I'm thinking anyway and then I can't stop thinking, and then I just feel worse. So I'm going to give this a try.
I'm also going to let go of my need to edit everything 16 times before putting it out in the world, so this will be a bit more... what's the word?... I'll let you decide.

Yay! Welcome! And I have fm also - it got way better after years of sleeping pills. I mean yeah exercise helps but not if you're in horrible pain.
It's almost 3 a.m. and even after pain, nerve and sleeping pills i am reading your blog.
Maybe the Lyrica will help once the damage from the Celebrex is healed enough to start a new drug.
we'll see.
Thanks so much for writing -- all the way back at the beginning! Lyrica -- what's the story with Lyrica? I'm so scared of all these drugs -- mostly the ones I've tried have just made me feel worse, but addicted (the sleeping pills) or so bad after one pill that I couldn't take any more (the rest).
If only this blog could induce rest, click the post a comment by then and then boom...

Has anyone tried one of the Fibro and Fatigue Centers? I went to the Philadelphia one ... will let you know how the bio-identical (healthy) drugs work ... am still on Lyrica - it helps a little ... the IV at the center helped more than anything (for muscles and inflammation) ... www.fibroandfatigue.com
Kimsomniac, thanks for writing! Several people have asked me recently about those centers -- I guess there was something on Oprah... but I haven't been. Good luck with everything!
