Update on my Fibromyalgia

Let's just say it.... Fibromyalgia Sucks !!!!  I had someone write to me on my MySpace page the other day and she said that she is 38 years old and her doctor thinks that she might have Fibro... She told me she does want to have Fibromyalgia. I had to

smile, because anyone who has Fibro would say the same thing. We all want to find the cure or get some answers to make the pain go away.

I saw the same Dr for over 2 years and her plan was to keep giving me different medications for the pain. So I was on Paxil, Prozac, Welbutrin ( which all of those are for Depression ) which is fine, but they all made me even more depressed. I tried Mobic and  Trazadone and a  few others. All of them depressed me so bad that I have to admit that when I went to bed at night I didn't want to wake up in the morning.

So I knew I was on my own and had to try something else. 

My neighbor mentioned Bowen Therapy. I hadn't heard about this before, but

they consider it an alternative solution and at this point I was ready to try 

something else, so I stopped taking all of the prescription medications my Dr

kept prescribing for me.

If you want to know all about Bowen Therapy, just pull it up on google.com

There are lots of websites explaining what it is. Now of course you are going

to get good reviews and bad reviews, but I am OK with that. All of our bodies

are different. Some people might do great on prescription medications and

I am happy for them, but for me they don't work.  I have only had 3 sessions

of the Bowen Therapy and it is a little weird, but I signed up for 10 sessions

and I am going to stick with it. What do I have to lose. It's going to help or

it won't and if it doesn't my next plan of action will be Acupuncture.  I will

keep looking for that magic answer.  If anyone is reading this and have any

thing that is working for them or just looking for a place to tell us your story

please join in.  People who don't have Fibro or Chronic Pain, just don't under

stand what it feels like to have this pain every day. I do think some of my friends

who get Migraines understand. When I was growing up, I hardly ever got 

headaches, but because of the Fibro, I seemed to get headaches at least 2 or 3

times a week. Sometimes when I wake up in the morning and I will have a headache..... What is up with that..... grrrr   :^(

Anyway, I will post on here and stop by from time to time see if anyone needs to talk. I will let you know how my progress is going with the Bowen Therapy.

Thanks for listening....

Hugs,  Laura
