It has oftern been said its all in our head, if it was would we choose to be in constant never ending pain,no sleep, poor memory, constant fatique, every part of our body hurting and affected. People that have said that to us want to try living in our shoes for a day. Then we would see how they felt about it then. gentle hugs to all xx

    No it's not all on our heads. There have been many new studies on FM proving that it's is a real disease. It is characterized by chronic wide spread pain and so many trigger points involving the sweating over muscle tissue. 

    Signalsfrom the sheathing sends signals to the neurotransmitters in the brain.

    have you seen a rheumatologist ? They are quite familiar with FM and will help you finds ways to treat FM & help you feel better.

    hang in there don't give up! Stay active within the boundaries of your limitations wih cope in wih FM that's the key

Im trying to keep positive and focussed on how Im dealing with it, but not always easy. still onwards upwards battle on. hope you have a good weekend take care

      Hi Kaz,

      Isn't it a relief to finally find a doctor who can actually take the time for a diagnosis. I hope you are doing better and found meds that can help. 

      It takes time to find what works for each of us as we are all so individual on how our bodies react to medications. 

      We had a great weekend went horseback riding & fishing. It's great for the soul to be out in nature. 

      Take care and keep me posted with your progress.biggrin

      Hey Kaz.

      its good for the spirit to ge put and enjoy life even though it's gonna catch up with us the next Daryl I find it gets my adrenalin going and Imfeel happier and my body follows suit. 

      I use spray magnesium for cramps sore muscles spray directly on the sore areas, then take an anti inflammatory .

      Then I lay down for a hour or so. When I get up the pain has left the building and I don't ache nearly at all.

      It works most of the time,even in winter.  Magnesium spray works well on leg cramps too and sore joints and muscles. I use the spray magnesium at night before I go to bed and get a better nights sleep. biggrin
