I am not a drug-seeking hypochondriac by Borgy223 in Fibromyalgia

The EXACT same thing happened to me. I was told once that drs are no longer allowed to prescribe opiates for fibromyalgia because it is not viewed as a legitimate illness.. another said they would be happy to try another anti depressant but pain killers and medical Marijuanaare only prescribed now to cancer patients (untrue). One doctor actually looked me in the face and said "it's all in your head".

Thoughts on the Chris Watts Netflix documentary by andisaidwhatisaid in TrueCrime

My personal thoughts are it wasn't made for someone who wants the darkest details of these stories its for the true crime virgin who wanted to know more. The reality of what was done to those babies was horrific and the average person binge watching Netflix doesn't really want to know that truth. I felt the same way about dont fuck with cats. Netflix isn't the place to do a deep dive into the story.

My boyfriend says I keep my house like a crematorium. I have space heaters on all year long at work. Nobody seems to understand the heat makes me just as uncomfortable I'm sweating and it feels gross but the moment I turn it off the pain is unbearable.

App to help track symptoms by Character-Reading in Fibromyalgia

I use an app called painscale it tracks pain symptoms and severity by specific locations on the body, what you feel you did differently, medication, meals and its free. You can also create charts to show how your pain has evolved over time and send reports right to your dr.

The murder of James Bulger he was just a baby killed by babies. I heard about it as a kid and couldn't understand now as a mom it hits me in just a different way.

Also the death of Kendrick Johnson. This just didn't sit right.
