I’ve been reading up on lithium since I’ve been placed on it. There’s a doctor on YouTube that talks about prescribing lithium for back muscle spasm pain, and in this same video he mentions that lithium works on fibromyalgia too.

I read in a separate article from him that a significant number of fibromyalgia patients are bipolar.

Interesting. I have to say when I’m depressed (and anxious—these go hand in had), my whole body hurts. I told my psychiatrist, and she just said it’s the depression.

I have fatigue, but in my case I think it’s a side effect of my meds.
