I know someone else who has fibromyalgia that gets 2400mg of morphine&9 Percocets a day. That's way too much! I'm stuck w/the same pain med that I've been on since 1997-Vicodin. It's better than nothing, but not really helpful. Have you found any coping skills that work or a daily routine of how much activity you engage in or maybe even some excercises that help relieve the pain? I'd love to hear any suggestions that anyone may have.  |
I had fibromyalgia for more years than I can remember. It was devastating. No matter what I tried, both medical and holistic, nothing helped. The chronic pain just kept getting worse. I could no longer teach. Unable to look after my home, my sweet dogs or myself - I was making plans to spend what remained of my life in agony in a nursing home. It was then, thanks to an uncle of mine, I discovered the beautiful mind, body, spirit wellness work of Joy of Healing. Thanks to them I have been both pain and prescription free for more than 13 years. Thanks to them I have my life back.
Keep searching for what works for you. Trust your intuition to guide you and never give up in your search for wellness.
