I wish I could be there to give you a great big hug but since I cannot the only words of wisdom I can offer is: This too shall pass. Take a deep breath then take another one and remind yourself you are not alone. I don't if you are a believer in Christ or not but if you are he will give you all the strenght you need all you need to do is ask (I know it's easier said then done) If you are not a believer he is still there and all you have to do is ask.

I too have been going through a lot of pain as well I also have this fibro along with a failed fusion (have had 3 lower back surgeries in 2 years) I have to have another 360 fusion in October so I deal with a massive amount of pain everyday sometimes it's all I can do to get out of bed but believe it or not I am working still. I have a son to care for and a husband. Most times I feel I am not doing any of them any good and I feel worthless most of the time but then I remember it's not on my strenght that I do things it's on his and I get through the rough days. There is a purpose in everything even our pain. Trust that he knows you are strong enough in him to get through this!

Praying for you,
Barb

Hi LilBear,

I'm guessing your messy thyroid is contributing greatly to your pain. How long since you've had a thyroid antibody test run? Have you had an ultrasound of your thyroid recently? You had said you were likely going on Tapazole soon ... is that helping?

A thyroid running hyper, or too low, or even just "normal range & cranking out antibodies" -- can add uneccessary grief to fibro suffering.

Sorry to hear you are in such pain, but it's a spot of sunshine in your life that your brother is so helpful & supportive.

Best wishes.

Have you tried a pain management doctor that has physical therapy on site? It worked for me.
