@AudryC24, I agree with you completely! Cymbalta was bad for me, made my Fibro worse. But, my new rheumatologist saw my pain, and I’m on Savella & Plaquenel. I’m standing straight, compared to bent over. I can go for rides in a car without days in bed.
This combo has worked for me, everybody’s body reacts differently to meds. It took a full year to not be over a 10 in pain. But I’m around 5 for pain now most days. That’s a huge win!💞❤️‍🩹☀️

@A MyFibroTeam Member Thats so funny! Get some rest, have some chamomile tea, and watch something you don’t have to think about it.
Hope tomorrow is a better day!❤️‍🩹💞

Yes!!

Dogs, or any fur baby can be helpful. AND it’s not necessary for our fur baby to wear any special clothing to be helpful to us.

And IF our babies can get us to go to bed at our bedtime, that can also be helpful.

The medication I've been on for years have help me a lot flare ups ever few in between, where my flare -up was every day in pain couldn't focus it was really bad .I'll say have been taking Amitriptyline it's an old medication but , May God it works . Stress causes me to break out . Staying calm praying helps a lot take your self away from the stress. Watch a movie go for a walk go have lunch with a friend. Something. Try the medication. They had me on Cymbalta my doctor kept telling me it was the best medication for me . I found me another doctor that would listen to me. I've been on Amitriptyline for over 10 yrs. Even the Pharmacist said this medication worked for her mom. I still have fobro fog. But not as bad. You have to find what works for you. I wish you well. Audrey
