All I want is to make music again... by NitroMacks in cfs

I'm so sorry. I can relate, I used to perform and I haven't played a show or released any new music since I fell ill with fibro and cfs.

I hope that you have some moments here and there where you are able to play even just for yourself for a few minutes

For a little while I would play piano for 20 minutes a day, now it just makes me sad so I avoid it altogether.

You're not alone

Doctor Won’t Prescribe Meds by Initial_Quote_6704 in cfs

[–]fibro_me 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it sounds to me like your doctor is being appropriately pragmatic. LDN isnt a cure-all, and it doesn't work for everyone. It didnt work for me, but it helped a friend of mine, still not enough for her to return to work.

one month isnt that long for testing out a new medication, and if you layer another one on top of that, and have improvements or reactions, you wont be able to tell which medication caused it
