Hi,
My mother also suffers from Fibromyalgia and CFS. How do you deal with it day to day? What type of meds do you find helpful for treating it. My mom has had it for quite some time and usually can only get out of bed and go out once a week, if even that. Any advice you can give me to give her would be much appreciated.
Elle> Hi folks.. I have Fibro or CFS I've been told and have been ill about 3 years.. I take Paxil 20mg twice daily which helps with the fog and spacey feelings, and helps a tad with the pain, but I also take pain meds from a killer pain doc.. who really cares.. I was in suicidal pain. It was terrible.. Before getting ill I had only taken stomach meds from my regular doc.. then I suddenly get struck down with this awful illness.. Anyway, I am curious about the harmful effects of SSRI'S? I can't seem to get off the paxil.. To me it's harder to quit than the pain meds by far..
