About HOT MESS

I'm a soon to be 53yr. young in spirit but old in body woman. Besides being afflicted w/ fibromyalgia, I am also a recovering drug addict and alcoholic so I have to be very careful when using anything for pain. My Shrink has put me on 8mg of Suboxone 3x a day for opiate cravings but I lucked out because even though it is not FDA approved as a pain med, it does wonders. I tried Lyrica and ended up in hospital, the MD's had me listed as possible kidney, liver or heart failure due to extreme swelling in my extremities. Thank God for the Suboxone as it is helping 2 afflictions w/ one med. Nancy

More About HOT MESS

Having been diagnosed w/ fibro. was both depressing but at the same time a relief because I thought I was going crazy. So did all my family members. They are still in denial which stresses me out quite a bit. I've been clean and sober for 6yrs. now and this past month has been my worst ever both emotionally and physically. I believe they go hand in hand.Cry Other than that, the support groups that I have joined on Face Book for fibro. people has been a great and worthwhile experience. Thank God for that or I'd be left to fend for myself on those awful days when I don't know whether or not I'm on foot or horseback.

Gratefully yours
