The pain is so severe I can't sleep. The pain in my feet feels like my feet are made of napalm. My feet are hyper sensitive to any touch, but at the same time, my toes have no feeling in them whatsoever. I refuse to take anti-depressants as I have read that is a form of treatment. This is like a living hell. Please give me some insight and wisdom, I am loosing it here. I am not even through with college, my aspirations to be a road patrol officer are not looking so good anymore 
Red please do not insult my intelligence. I was just informed via phone today from a podiatrist who conferred with my doctor about my condition. I have an appointment on the 6th of Febuary to see my regular doctor. I was just hoping to get some insight from others who suffer from the disease. Thanks for the support.

i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 2 years ago and seem like ive tried a million different things and had serval different doctors, but nothing has worked yet. The pain has been getting worse. I hear about older people with this but have yet to meet anyone my age with it. I wish i could talk to someone else with it.
I am getting good sleep and stoped eating junk foods. Im drinking lots of water and just pretty much trying everything. And it only seems to keep getting worse.
Every morning i wake up so stiff and can barely move or get out of my bed. when certain joints are really inflamed they feel like a sprain or broken bone. My fingers hurt so bad after writing and walking down stairs takes me a while. I feel so old and sometimes i just cry thinking that i will get no answers.
Please give me some kind of advice. Thank you.
I also have a 2 year old and I need to get better to be able to take better care of him. Right now I depend on his dad so much with help and I just want to be a healthy mom. I cant even see myself having more kids at this point cause I dont know how id be able to have the energy. And Ive always wanted lots of kids. : (

I also have high blood pressure and thyroid trouble. my sysmptoms are leg pain and daytime sleepiness. I had a sleep study done and was told that I have the Fibromyalgia. I am on meds for depression , highblood pressure and thyroid. I already take the zanaflex and ultracet and voltarin. Along with klopin wellbutrin synthroid and topral xl and a baby asprin. What else can be done? What type of dr should I go to to have this treated? Any help would be great.

I am a twenty-one year old, female, diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and REM sleep disorder. My Dr. is now questioning the possibility of Myofascial Pain Syndrome... In the past I have tried physical therapy, acupuncture and multiple prescribed medications both for the pain and the sleep problems... none have been quite sufficient or cost effective, in the long run... any suggestions?
