Hi Tina-
Thank you so much for your post. I have been going through accunpuncture, trigger point injections, the Silver Sneakers program to try to get active again. It is amazing how much of my body has "frozen up" since being in so much pain. I am now on a drug called Savella that has been approved for fibromyalgia patients since I found a NP that quit my old doctors office and went through her pain management certification. I had going through therapy sessions with a wonderful doctor as well but since I last posted I am now on social security and state insurance which will not pay for her. I am going to school right now, since for the first time in over a year I am actually able to concentrate on what I am doing and getting a 4.0. JR college but it is a start. I do have a pretty good outlook but it does at times seem dark when I am in too much pain and my husband still cannot realize that a simple pill does not make everything go away. I am hopeful that it will be resolved and if ot managed. I will check out your websites and let my NP Nancy know as well. Today I go for my first hydro-therapy session and I am looking forward to that since this week has been the worse pain since starting the Savella.
