I'm new to PC... I'm fairly sure I've had fibro since I was about ten (I'm 38 now), but it's only really affected what I can do (as opposed to "will do cos I want to and I'm not going to listen to the pain) is in the last 7 years.

No doubt having a little boy with serious medical issues who gets me up 5 or 6 times a night in pain has something to do with that.

I'm on duloxetine - for depression with the hope that it might affect the fibro (doesn't for me), lyrica (helps) and clonazepam to help me sleep if I'm in a lot of pain...

My older son who is in special residential school is home for the summer = a lot more stress + being kicked, punched and pushed down the stairs = not good for pain!
