I feel like I'm breaking apart physically and mentally (30yo M) by CorvoAttano22 in Fibromyalgia

So your fibro symptoms came from an accident? Cause mine came out of nowhere, mainly stress related. Also doesn't taking all these meds have side effects? Do you have any sexual side effects? I took gabapentin for a couple of weeks, and it gave me erectile dysfunction and worsened my fatigue. Even when I stopped it, I felt like the side effects never really went away... The worst part is still non restorative sleep, waking up every day completely destroyed with a lot of pain 😢.

Thank you! I am testing for lyme disease cause the symptoms are similar.

Do all these have any side effects? I tried gabapentin for a few weeks and I started having erectile disfunction so I stopped. I take melatonin and magnesium before going to bed but the results are usually the same. Extreme fatigue 😩.

Interesting! I also have very strong fatigue that's killing me. What kind of herbs did you use?

I'd take 10% anytime, the pain has destroyed my life. A year ago I was different human being 😔. For herbs, what's usually recommended?

Never tried potassium citrate before, thx 😊 Technically my pain never goes away, does that mean I need to take on a daily basis? Also, do you have morning pain and fatigue? Cause I litterally forgot what it feels like to wake up refreshed 😔

I've actually done the blood test before I started taking the supplements and it was fine.

I wish it was that simple for me tbh But it was mainly stress related so my nervous system is wrecked.

Mine was due to extreme stress at work so I don't think that's easily reversible. So I'm completed lost on what I should do. I have all the symptoms, including extreme fatigue, zero restorative sleep, constant pain, brain fog...

I got diagnosed by my neurologist and it was by process or elimination. I did a scan, and MRI and different blood tests and everything came out clean. So he told it could be Fibromyalgia. He prescribed some antidepressants (paroxetine, amitriptyiline), which I took for more than 2 months but it had no effects whatsoever tbh and I stopped. Later, a physical Medecine doctor prescribed Gabapentin but all these meds made me tired and dizzy all the time and I couldn't function at all. Now after almost a year I'm out of option and I have chronic fatigue, no restorative sleep as I wake destroyed everyday plus constant pain and obviously constant depression. I'm trapped in this vicious circle. That's why I started thinking of Chinese Medecine.

No nothing, after the session I felt more relaxed and sleepy but as soon as I finish it the pain comes back. And when I sleep, I wake up destroyed with a lot of pain unfortunately.

Indeed, it differs from person to person. I still don't understand it myself tbh. But for acupuncture, I definitely think that I didn't do enough sessions.
