For Women with fibromyalgia
I used it once and will never use it again - I took the dose at night and slept well (thought hey this is great) then woke at 7am, threw up and staggered back to bed. (This was a week day and I had to get children to school and had appointments et...
You are very welcome Sara :)

Wow! it has a name!
And the hip thing is spot on too!
What is "Tums" please Anne (and I'd be happy with a long explanation)
Thank You

Sara,
I'm not an expert, but I do know a lot about Gymnastics as I was an elite Gymnast as a teenager.
Even though I have probably had Fibromyalgia since I was a teenager (just not diagnosed),

- Hi Kate,
Many people are working very hard to get some much needed answers relating to what we're dealing with. Don't lose hope.
What are your worst symptoms right now?

Leanne said… - Hi Kate...hhhmmm how do I manage it? Well I know I go through an awful lot of Nurofen plus! Around the same time as being diagnosed with FMS I also started experiencing migraines, hence the Nurofen, I also take Zomig (for migraines) when needed. With the recent diagnosis of inflammatory arthritis I'm currently on a very small dose of prednisone. My rheumatologist did try me on Lyrica which worked wonders however it cost about $130 for 2 months and I put on 3 kgs in 2 weeks so I took myself off it. I work fulltime because I have to, I support my husband who has had 2 brain tumours removed and has memory loss probs, we also have 2 teenage sons. If I could give up work right now I would. I find it difficult to cope on really warm/hot days, I fatigue easily and have to kind of constantly rest. I do have a massage every 6 weeks and that sometimes helps. Otherwise I just plod along and hope the next day will be a little better. Sorry not really much help. Thanks for your welcome. Leanne

- Hi there!
I think I might be the first Aussie on this site!
Please say Hi, as I really would love to hear from anyone who can help me on my journey with Fibromyalgia.
Now I have a name for what I've been living with for 20 years, I am kinda lost as I don't really know what to expect - except more of the same......
I suppose I'm looking for some light at the end of this very long and tiring tunnel.
Cheers,
Kate.
