Hi 26west,

I have fibro. It can make you so sore you can barely stand a sheet to touch you. You can ache all over or just in certain spots.

Once someone laid his hand on my shoulder and I literally screamed due to the pain. Emotions do have an impact on it, but let's face it, living with chronic pain isn't doesn't make one very happy.

I have a several types of arthritis and auto immune problems, and to be honest, I feel much better on a high protein diet, or at least a no sugar diet.

If you can stay awake, Lyrica is a wonderful drug that is now prescribed for fibro. It literally takes the pain away. I take so many other meds that I couldn't stay awake not matter how hard I tried. I hope you can get some Lyrican and give it a try.

Hugs,

Jan
