As a Domme, now with a full time sub (mills), he is learning very quickly the signs when I wake up, if it will be a bad day. He nightly rubs down my feet and lower legs in hopes it will allow me peacefull sleep. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia over 20 years ago. I continued to work and support my 2 children. Push, push, push. But now I am almost 50, and add Lupus to the mix. For years I went back and forth to specialists saying I had MS. I have been poked and prodded beyond imagination. Currently I am on a balanced dose of Cymbalta and Lyrica, taking Vicodin, Xanax and Donnatol as needed. I also tahe Omega 3-6-9, Calcium-Magniesum-Zinc, Probiotic and multi-vitiman. I cannot take any anti-inflamitories due to kidney issues, and must limit tylenol as well. And must deal with bouts of dehydration. (and I drink TONS of water!) Unfortunately, I recently relocated across my state, and am in a very bad downswing. My doctor gave me enough samples to get by, but I am in too much pain to actively work, so am not sure what to do. Downswings can last anywhere from a few days to months for me. To find a job in my field that has the insurance I had---well that is crucial or these will be pre-existing conditions. Bottom line is---with fibro, I worked long hours and raised 2 great kids. Eat right, stretch morning and night, find a doctor who cares, take the meds, I found this to be the best way to manage it all. Now if I could just get back on track!!!!
