Fibromyalgia for nearly 20 years - i want my old life back!

emma_poland · April 2018

I have suffered with Fibromyalgia for nearly 20 years which has progressed to me now no longer being able to work, I have extreme pain and fatigue and feel my life no longer belongs to me. I have to have my meds put in a blister pack by the pharmacist so I don’t get mixed up. Basically I want my old life back!

Hi @emma_poland

Good Evening & Welcome to our online community/family.

I have also got chronic pain down my right side 24/7.

I have had this since 2005 unfortunately.

Are you taking any meds to help or on any treatment’s??

I’m on loads & I have had to take early retirement from a job that I really “LOVED”

Please please let me know if I can help/support you in anyway?????

Hi Steve, thanks for the message. My medication is endless.
Naproxen
Omeprazemole
Co-codamol
Gabapentin
Duluxotine
Amlodipine
Diazepan.
I also have to have a B12 injection every 3 months and take extra vitamins and minerals!

I also had to give up a job I loved and had done 3 years on coursework after doing the job for 15 years to become a teacher
