hello everyone !

[larissa1]

i am new here , just diagnosed last thursday and i must say i felt relieved to finally get an answer after 5 mnths of so many symptoms .
I have been put on co-dydramol for the pain and just going to start with amatriptilin tonight ( one before i go to bed ).
The co-dydramol has helped a lot with the pain although the do make me feel a bit drosey , but much better than the pain !!!!!!!
The symptom i hate the most is when exaustion comes over me and i cant do anything !!!! oh and the brain fog, its happened to me at work a couple of times and i feel i just have to say " i cant find my words " or " i cant remember what you just said " I used to cry when this happened cause it would totally freak me out !
Does fibro get any worse as time goes on !!!!?????
Anyway just wanted to introduce myself and say hello

Hi Larissa and to the forum

Glad to hear the co-dydramol is already making a difference, hopefully the amis will do the same as well

Altho FM isn't regarded as a progressive condition by the medical bods, a lot of us have found that over time things have got worse However, this doesn't mean that it will be the same for you. Yours could stay as it is at the moment, or even possibly go dormant Even if things do start to worsen, if you can find the right recipe of things for you, it can still be managed.

f there;s anything you want to know, just ask and we'll try to help you with it

Most of us have got worse since being dx with fibro, we all differ with the pain and symptoms but lots of sufferers have gotten worse as times goes on.

With myself i have found that after every flare i have i never seem to recover from it, my list of symptoms and pain just keep growing My mobility keeps going downhill, i can trip over thin air i feel like i have been put into a body belonging to a 80yr old.

Some fibro sufferers still manage to work where as others are bed bound or wheelchair bound.
