Kim, Im so sorry that you are a part of our "elite" club . The fibro "fog" is tough. Especially for those around us that dont understand it. Ive been on Cymbalta since it came out, and while it does nothing for the fibro pain, it has helped with the "fog" a bit.

Im going to keep you in my thoughts and prayers that when January arrives, you will get nothing but positive news.

And thank you for your support. It means a lot.

Gentle hugs to all,
Jewel

Earlier in my treatment I tried a lot of drugs at my Dr.s insistence ...Wrong thing for me. I just have not found much that does help other than some basic things...lots of rest, stay warm, stay active, eat right and take my muscle relaxers, do a toke at night. The "fog" is killing me though. The mental impact, especially when I am tired, can be intolerable at times. I'm learning things and doing things differently but there are days it takes everything that I have to make it thru. It has only been recently that I have had it this bad.

I see a rheumatologist every 5 years for Lupus testing and to keep an eye on my Fibro. I have an appt in Jan so I am anxious as to what will happen or ? Lupus runs in my family.

Lady Jewel..I'm sorry this is happening. If there is anything I can do just holler.
