I just got diagnosed officially with Fibromyalgia.
The symptoms have been horrible the last 6 months. I've deal with them in differing severity since I was around 11-12. Apparently Fibro can onset around 10 -20 years old.
Here's the thing. The rheumatoid specialist I saw is wanting to put me on gabapentin for the pain. However, it intereacts with almost all of my psychiatric medications so we have discuss that with my psychatrist before anything changes.
Basically, I'm wanting advice on how to deal with the pain. How to start sleeping better since that's a big thing in fibro apparently. Also, if anyone else has chronic pain issues, what exercises have you found that work that don't cause too much discomfort?
