About Mrs.Won't-Give-in!

Well 31/2 years since my accident and things have been going down hill fast and I am truly finding it hard to keep my head above water, so to speak. I am still not gonna give in but I am scared for what the future will hold for me. I am 40 years old and my body feels more like 85. With having FM, nerve damage and who knows what else it is hard to have a day without pain. I thank God every day for the understanding of my family and friends! Update

More About Mrs.Won't-Give-in!

Sept. 2009

Just wanted to give you an update. I am still living life in pain but I feel I have a better handel on it now. My doctor has me on 50mg of Amitriptyline every night as well I take 600mg of Lyrcia every day, as well as my pain killers as needed. I was never the one to take pills but now I am on them every day for the rest of my life. I have a lot of support from family and friends so I am very lucky. I hope to over time be able to decrese the amount of pills I take in a day. I have been able to keep my head above water, so to speak but it hasn't been easy. If I can do it you all can stay positive as well. So hang in there, the day's will only get better.
