Fibromyalgia

Oh the sweet pain of fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed Sept 2011. It has almost been a year now and I have had my ups and downs. I seem to be finding out that I get flair ups. I don't know why or when I am going to get one. This is a very confusing disease to have. I have a hard time making plans because I don't know how I am going to feel. Today is one of the best days I have had in a while. I keep a chart of my pain and it goes up and down, up and down. I haven't figured out if food effects it, vitamins, all the psych and pain meds I am on help at all. I feel like sometimes I should go off all the pills and stick with a simple pain killer when I need it. I am on Cymbalta which does help my depression quite a bit, not sure if it helps the fibro. I makes me sweat like a pig, one horrible side effect it has for me. I am still new to this disease and I feel like it will take time to figure out what works and what does not.
