Finally being validated has given you permission to be sick.. it's like when the funeral is over and everyone goes home, and you can just sit and cry it out... your body is just letting it all out because your mind, heart and body are all in agreement.

I'm on Gabapentin. My doctor took me off of my Zoloft and put me on cymbalta to help with the pain but it wasn't working, so I switched back. I am on 600 mgs 4 times a day of gaba and if I miss a dose, I definitely feel it. Not sure if I should be on a dose that high, but I am still in tons of pain. I'm so blessed to have my bf though. He is helping so much and so supportive. Thank you all for your advise

My pain and symptoms haven't gotten worse. I just know now that it is all linked together.
As much as I hate to say it most people doesn't understand this type of pain unless it hits them.
I hear it from everyone around me. There is nothing wrong with her.
Praying that people on here will help you feel better about yourself.
God Bless

@A MyFibroTeam Member - I agree - for so many years I wanted to tell people "This is real"
I'm glad I made sense!

A MyFibro...

I wonder, if once we know we have a diagnosis, somehow our brain is relieved (we are relieved) and pain we know we have IS Real because of the diagnosis? I hope I'm making sense! This isn't one of my good days!
