So sorry, I know what that feels like. The pain, not the 5th graders. Are you taking anything to help the fibro? I resisted cymbalta for a long time because of the horror stories I had read on here. I was so wrong to do that. Cymbalta gave me my life back. I decided I won't ever let anyone else's experience keep me from trying something. I do pay attention to what other's say but everyone is different.
If you aren't on a medication for the fibro my suggestion would be to talk to your Dr. In the meantime, I hope your pain lets up for you.Link to the patient information, everything from What is IC? to Disability

I agree
I totally agree with you! If you'll look at the list of side effects for any medication, you will see that some are experienced by only 1% of those taking it --- somebody has to be that 1%, but that absolutely doesn't mean you will be.Originally posted by sailawaygrl View Post

thank you
Thank you for your thoughts. I left work early after a disasterous day and took a well needed nap. Now it's just me, my heating pads, and old episodes of law and order. Maybe tomorrow will be better.IC-diagnosed August 1998 with cystoscopy and hydro
