the long road of fibromyalgia
cjwood:
my dear forum family. i don't recall ever asking for prayer for myself, but it is time. i have lived with fibromyalgia for 10 yrs and it is so frustrating. i went to pain clinics for several years and was given just about every pain med they had in their arsenal, even to the point of becoming so dependent on the major opiates that it tore my life apart. i walked away from the pain clinics to seek something else where i could be more mentally present. 2 1/2 yrs. ago i was directed to a naturopathic chiropractor, and she has done amazing work on and with me. i had been making progress but have lately (last 2 wks.) started to feel the power of the fibromyalgia taking hold again. i have not had enough energy to even drive to see my chiro for a few weeks. i have tried the '5 hour energy' drink and it helps a little, but i still was able to fall asleep after a few hours. ???. i take lyrica, and it helps me to some degree, but nothing like the ads on t.v. proclaim. perhaps a higher dose of lyrica will help the fibro, but, my regular m.d. has told me that he doesn't prescribe higher than the minimal dose i currently take, because he would prefer to refer me to a pain clinic for handling the chronic fibromyalgia snydrome. no thanks. been there, done that. :( so, here i sit at my laptop typing away to ask for your help through prayer. i only take one pain med, which is not an opiate, per se, but if i run out of it, i am back to square one all over again. :(
i loathe the fibro, but i believe it is part of my "blows, inordinately" which paul spoke of. i know my fibro is a walk in the park compared to paul the apostle, and all that he endured. therein is my comfort i am sure, that it is available to endure my trial. but sometimes, that endurance seems so far, far away.
i love each of you with the Absolute Love of Jesus Christ.
