Fybromyalgia

apparently there aren't any !

at least not on the NHS !

there is a clinic at St Thomas's hospital London but if you don't live in their borough you wont get finding to go and see them !

you have to wealthy to be healthy !

best you can do if you are on a low income is ask to see the pain clinic and hope the one in your area is good. you have to "learn to cope / manage your condition"

best of luck

gentle hugs xx

HI Tracy

I have been diagnosed with a similar issue by my rheumatologist.

I'm not sure where you're having pain, but number one I would suggest getting a rheumatologist and making sure what the underlying causes of your pain are.

Pain seems to come and cycles, and if you can get it in the beginning of the cycle you can send a lot of it off. Things that help me have been Celebrex,or Aleve, Arnica gel, massaged into the areas of pain as often as you need. Heating pads. Moving around. "Motion is Lotion"

My doctor told me that pain is an Eco system, that is containing many different conditions including emotional, physical, stress, and the way we react to pain. Doctors are now trying to get patients to find new ways to deal with pain and I understand that it is not life-threatening and to move through it. Hard to do when you are in a "Flare up" ...but worth trying. I keep a journal of things that "Trigger" my cycles.

Hope this was helpful to you!! TINA

Sorry, looks like I got cut off..

My Doctor said Pain is an eco- system that consist of many different parts, emotional stress, physical... It is helpful to know what "triggers" your pain. People like us with fibromyalgia need to learn to respond to pain differently. Number one, we have to realize that it is not going to kill us , although it certainly can feel like it. Try to get ahead of the cycle before it gets worse, don't be afraid to move around, "motion is lotion" to the body.

I hope this helps you!! TINA

if reference to everyones comments we all have one theme in common, undeniable pain that other believe either isnt there, isnt as bad as we make it, something we can just push through or eat healthier and workout and it will get better!!!! Well thank you people but if those we options dont you think we would have done them by now. I Do eat well, I do workout, I do take pain medication, Yes I still work, raise a family etc. This disease is ruining my life, i try to keep a positive outlook , a smile on my face but when i have my moments alone all i can do is cry, consider if life is worth continuing like this and so tired and confused and mad , yes mad at world that makes fun or dismisses something they cant see or understand. so to all of you out there, just know you're not alone!!!!!
