[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 151755, member: 1514"] I have fibro long with degenerative joint disease. To put it mildly, it inhales deeply. I was originally diagnosed with the fibro in 1999, two years after a fairly bad auto accident where my car was totaled. I spent those two years going from doctor to doctor getting tons of tests that only showed the joint disease and that was thought to be mild. That was proved wrong after a knee arthroscopy. I was originally diagnosed by a pain doctor but have been being treated by my primary doctor for years now. I have had a few short times where I felt somewhat better but it has always returned with a vengeance. I take topamax, lamictal...which while being for my bipolar also seem to help somewhat the fibro...along with muscle relaxers, sleep medication and klonopin. I tried lyrica but it caused me so many bad side effects I had to go off it. There are many days I cant tell where the pain ends from the joint disease and where the fibro picks up. Like I said, it inhales deeply. [/QUOTE]
