- hi Beck......glad one bad day's behind you and especially glad you've found some of the really helpful fibro sites.I had it for almost a year ......15 years ago when my lovely but small town seacoast doctor, tested me for a week....in the hospital yet......but not till a visiting neuroligist examined me and came to the fibro diagnosis { by that time I was in a pretty serious clinical depression \.....ANYWAY,....not till then, did I get any kind of help.....and other than antidepressants, did they have anything to treat it. As I'm sure you already know......they now have Lyrica....Neurontin.....and an even newer homeopathic one. So.....good luck......hang in there,.......you're FAR from alone......Peace and love......Norma

Re: a good day

I seem to have nothing but bad days...going on years..I have to
struggle with each minute with this confusion and depression. I gave
up finding any kind of support and I think it's time I started opening
up. It looks like this might be a good palce to start. Yes, I've been
on assorted anti-deprssants for years (I'm 51) and currently on
celexa...I don't know if they "help" I'm not sure what I should
expect. I have fms, narcolepsy,lupus ,hashimoto' s thyroiditis from
the lupus,osteoarthritis and an assortment of other related ai;ments.
I often feel that my emotions are most of my problem... I can usually
deal with my pain ( I take methadone when it gets severe I'm only on 1
or 2 20mg a day and I'm allowed 6 pills) The things I can't (too
often) deal with is the fatigue. I have felt like lead as far as I
can remember. Sleep is no respite for me because of bad memories
dreams that constantly remind of of how I have not met the
expectations of the people that should have been able to accept my
inability to function like I or they wanted me to. The dreams
sometimes are worse than my illnesses. I have through the years been
thr "hostess with the mostest" and during those times I was surrounded
with many of what at time I believed were close friends only to find
that the less I could do for THEM them the less I heard from them. And
people are all too willing to believe the worst about people. For most
of my life I have been resilient and able to be cheery and make the
most of just about any situation...but I really feel like I can't do
it anymore. I'm not suicidal or anything I'm just in a very deep hole.
I do have a wonderful husband who is also disabled and he does
everything for me. This is not for lack of support from him...I just
know taht if I was able to get around (I'm completely housebound) I
would see my grown children I would be able to volunteer someplace, go
to church. even simply take a walk.I hate having self pity. This is
awful. I know things can always be much worse. Maybe it's the meds.
I'm on 150 mg of imuran to try to knock out this (3yaer) lupus flare.
I have a rheumy that listens...I have a shrink that ;listen and is too
generous with the meds. I have to find the strength to even
shower...I've been known to go 2 wks without bathing (I'm ashamed to
say) I have a chair for the bath, it's not that-I just don't want to
move most of the time. I feel very isolated.

- Ellan,
  
  I to have found I don't like leaving the house very often. I never know what's going
  
  to happen with body, so I take short planned trips. The day before and the day after
  
  are rest days, I do only the nessary things to get by on those days. So try planning
  
  a short day even if it's out in the yard.

- hi beck and ellen, i just found this thread. i am sorry that you are in such a bad way right now ellen, i hope that you will find friends who care and can help you through this time for you. i am not sure what to say to help you but i wish you the best and i hope this time passes for you and you see life in a different and better light. it's never too late to change, don't give up hope and try to look at the good that is in your life just for one day, that would be a start. it's nice to meet the both of you and welcome! :) p.s maybe you are right, it could be too many meds, talk with your dr.
