Recently Diagnosed with Fibro

I have been ill for about 5 years with Doctors putting me on every anti depressant and anxiety pill known to man. I went to see on fantastic internist he listened to me and changed all my meds to 400mg of Wellbutrin and 20mg of Cymbalta. Within about 2-3 weeks I started feeling better. It has now been over 12 weeks and we just increased my cymbalta to 40mg. I have not felt this good in years. -- Believe it or not we are military and this was a military doctor who believes this disease exists. Many doctors have said to me it is psycho symatic....

Hello,
Fibro is real...I have been diagnosed for 11 years. I am glad to hear you feel better, I am going to ask my doctor about your meds, it's worth a try, Best wishes

I was diagnosed with fibro 8 years ago. It took a few years to get my medications straightened out just so I could function daily by myself. I also am taking 400 mg of Wellbutrin SR daily, as well as Flexeril 10 mg three times a day. One of the biggest things that worked for me was deep tissue massage therapy. I started going once a week and am now able to extend the time to bi-weekly. I can't stand any type of relaxation massage, I can't take the touch. Deep tissue (if you get a good therapist) can help work the knots out of my muscles. I would strongly recommend this to anyone still suffering from fibro.
