Thanks !!

I was just diagnosed this year at age 44 with bipolar ( had it all my life was just never diagnosed and on treatment ) 2 years ago I went from feeling fine physically one day to the next every single inch of me turned into severe pain ,, Diagnosed Fibromyagia ! I was a damn lab rat back then they kept throwing me med after med after med .. for me NO medication works for my fibromyalgia i took the gammet from tylenol to a morphine patch ,, nothing touches it ,,So my T and I worked on some relaxing and medicattion ,hypnotherapy etc.. my pain level is always a 7 but I do cope better now and i no longer cry if someone gives me a hug .. I have gone thru 4-6 meds for my bipolar already with either no help or terrible side effects .. so im a bit gun shy 40lbs later and im miserable and question what the purpose of it all is ,, I have yet to feel anywhere near " stable" I rapid cycle so my posts on here sometimes are a bit odd ,,one minute Im a whining mess the next I can offer fabulous advice and i seem great ...***sigh***

I do plan on talking to my pdoc at length about this new med ,,,,i cant find any real user info about ,,

Im guess I just want to stop being that lab rat for a lil while

Thanks ))))
