[QUOTE="lindijanice, post: 1669567, member: 446215"] Hello All! If you google fibromyalgia diagnosis, you will likely see a chart that shows the 13 "sore" spots that a Rhuematologist will test for pain levels - I forget where all they are - I just remembering during a physical the Dr. felt for these as I was complaining of so much pain and it hurt for at least an hour afterwards! Anyway, I have Fibro and Amytryptiline is still one of the best meds out there, especially for getting some restorative sleep. Fibros also have trouble absorbing some minerals and hormones.....Right now I am taking magnesium - the Glycinate one as it doesn't affect the gut like the other one does....I have IBS as well and many Fibros suffer from that too. Immodium is my BFF when traveling or going to an event that I don't want to miss b/c I'm "otherwise occupied":) Like diabetes no two Fibros are alike either and we have to research and find what works best for us personally. On top of having diabetes, it is difficult to know which is giving one a difficult day....Some days better than others....Life goes on and we have a choice each morning how we are going to greet and live the day....I prefer to always look forward to another day to enjoy the love of my two granddaughters and show them how a strong woman gets on with life!Blessings/L When you think about it, we are all strong in our own way and have to be amazed at how resilient our bodies really are, despite it's struggles to maintain homeostasis - a state of "ease" - not "dis-ease".
