Esther posts, Hi, Im new to facebook and this site. Im almost 65. Sorry, this could be a long story! I pretty much diagnosed myself with fybromyalgia a few days ago. Heard of it years ago and wondered if that was what I have. So read a lot on the internet this week. Ive had acupuncture for 8 weeks, twice per week, as a last resort. While it seemed to be working a little, suddenly the pain got worse. My pain is in my groin - shooting to outside thigh and into lower back. Both shoulders are very painful. Also wrists. I have osteoarthritis in my fingers and one foot. I can no longer lift my 3month old grandson much which is breaking my heart as I cant help with baby sitting for many hours at a time. I was very depressed a while ago and was put on Lovan. Now take 40mg per day. Mobic for my arthritis does not help the shoulder and other pain. It does help my fingers though, a bit. Panadol osteo doesnt do much. From what Ive read it seems a bit hopeless, as there is no treatment. I am suddenly feeling the cold badly even with others who usually feel the cold do not! I dont have any tummy pain . I cant seem to get out of bed in the morning - but I do if I have an appointment. The pain is worse when I go to bed and it wakes me up all night long. Im exhausted. Your FB came up on the internet. So here I am asking for suggestions. I read many of your posts and it seems my conclusion is correct in assuming that it is only self help that will do any good. I have a sympathetic husband fortunately. He is 70. We work from home. But my concentration seems to have gone. I really thought I could have the onset of dementia! regards to you all. Esther
