Mental Health: How Are You Feeling About The Focus On Long Covid?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I hear a lot about long covid and how many people have had an extremely full and healthy life up until having COVID. It would be nice to hear on mainstream media to hear how Fibromyalgia is as, if not more, debilitating as long COVID.

I do feel sympathy and empathy for long COVID sufferers, but when you speak to individuals who have this, there are a few different responses
1. Those who finally understand how awful FM is
2. Those who think that it is completely different and maybe… read more

I've had Covid now 3 times. The first was by far the worst. The 2nd & 3rd were bad enough too, but was not hospitalized. I believe I have long Covid though after reading typical symptoms of it, mine… read more

Any Thoughts About My Depression Situation?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been on Lexapro for my depression for 7 years and feel like it is not working as well anymore. I was on Paxil before and liked that better but my psychiatrist seems to prefer Lexapro. She seems hesitant to add anything else or switch me to a different med. She mentioned TMS but that seems expensive and drawn out (daily treatments for a number of weeks). I am not sure what to say or do next. Thank you! Holly

Paxil
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been taking paxil When i got the diagnosis ADHD (and for the adhd methylphenidate) let’s say 7 years now. My new physician said I should stop taking them, because the long term effects.

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am not sure that paxil is helping me as I do have emotional down days -- it seems that my physical pain and my emotional pain go together.
Cymbalta has been suggested to me but I hesitate to switch and I am wondering how others have tolerated cymbalta and how you were afftected by side effects. Thanks in advance, June

I couldn't handle Lyrica, Cymbalta, Paxil and Xanax. I have a new doctor and she wants me to try Savella. I'm ready to give up on western practices.

Taking lyrics 200 and tramadol

At what dosage lyrica works for you? And you feel less to no pain.

Thanks

A MyFibroTeam Member

Do you really feel that Paxil is helping you better than pristiq? I'm on pristiq and don't feel it is doing anything for me and I have bipolar disorder as well
