I have fibromyalgia. The pain in my muscles is really bad. Sometimes I have found by keeping my feet and lower legs covered with a blanket at night, that helps keep away the terrible cramps. I use ZanaFlex, a muscle relaxer, and strong pain meds sometimes when I hurt bad. Physical Therphy is great if you can afford it. I leaned how to massage my legs to get the knots out of my muscles and help them to relax. Just taking a day off to relax and do nothing helps me. But it is the coping day to day that gets real old. I just want it to go away so I can go back to work. But it's been over five years without relief so I guess I'm stuck with it.

All my life I have know that I am different. I have trouble with my thinking and processing information. I have trouble in keeping close friends. I am afraid of living, and I don't really know why. I am good at pretending everything is all right, by just gritting my teeth and just charging ahead and getting through the rough spots, but inside I am afraid of failure and getting critized for things I do. I am hoping someone can help me, or at least understand me.
