Anyone Use Access A Ride In NYC?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Was it easy to get approved using fobromyalgia as diagnosis? Im also worried that they'll only give partial approval, like just driving me to a bus stop, since technically I COULD walk. However I get so dizzy and weak if I walk too much. Thanks everyone!

A MyFibroTeam Member

They fail to understand the concept of post exertional malaise and how three buses to get somewhere renders someone too sick to get home. They need to up their game. Walking down a hallway is not… read more

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hi.

I was recently diagnosed with Fibro about a month ago.

Does Anyone Else Have Chemical Sensitivity Due To Fibromyalgia?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does any of you have chemical sensitivities? I break out in a rash so bad I have to get a Prednisone shot or take the pills. I break out from chlorine, so I can not go swimming, Salt water...no beach fun, the sun if I am exposed like all day, bug spray, sunscreen, and tanning beds. So summer really sucks! Does anyone else have these skin sensitivities?

A MyFibroTeam Member

I cannot be around perfumes, candles, laundry detergent that smells, room deodorizer, ... most chemicals now. I avoid certain stores and events because of odors.

Coping With Family Who Thinks You Are Faking, At Christmas.
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

My fibro and chronic fatigue is having a hissy fit at the moment. Because I am stressing about Christmas. Most of my in laws think I am faking it and tease me for being tired. I know spending a whole day with a loud group is going to kill me afterwards. How can I politely explain to them that fibro and chronic fatigue is a real illness.

Is Anyone Taking Amatryptaline?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am worried about the side effects, especially the possibility of weight gain. My doctor prescribed it for cyclic vomiting syndrome, it's supposed to stop the vomiting attacks. She wants me to get up to 100 mg a day. What are your experiences with this drug?

I get nauseous as well at times, with dizziness. I have also had a tightened diaphragm that I was concerned was heart-related, but was found to be muscle-related.
