The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Lol, I need to do some cardio but I haven't been lately. I will be starting as I have to go through the barn and move a bunch of 10ft 2x10 boards and stuff and it is hot out.ps-personally, I well remember being told I was just depressed, lol!!
And to just give up bc there was no cure at all.
nope, no longer going to accept the opinion of one person
scotty
have you been doing any gentle and doctor approved cardio work?
I found that working up a sweat loosens up the body and reduces pain
Not to mention lifting moods bc you just feel so much better when you do some kind of sweating and moving around
I like to dance around to music personally. I like to play some cool and funky dance tunes from the 70's and shake my goove thang....but in private, ha ha !!

Yes. Physical, dietary, emotional, spiritual, nutritional, toxins (exposure to), temperature, mental,I am just racked with pain lately, Does stress make Fibro worse? I can't hardly move and I just plain hurt.
If someone has not the right doctor, keep looking. There is definitely cures and helps available, once they 'know' what to test for and what to do.I was fortunate that I did not develop it until I was 55. I was also fortunate that it only took six months to get a real diagnosis. I totally agree with yeshuaslavejeff about what you should do now. Those things have really helped me, especially the support group. Also, read through this thread. As you will see there are a lot of different things which have helped us in our pain and insomnia. What works for one person might not work for another. The key is to keep trying things until you find what does work for you. A good doctor should be able to know what might work for you. I thank God daily for sending my doctor to me.

Even in our sleep--our brains do not go to sleep like normal people's brains do--ours remain lit up even at our deepest sleep levels.
As for pain relief, I don't know if muscle massage is desirable.
Try it and let me know as I'd be interested to see if it works for anyone else as well.
I also seem to have such symptoms. But my doctor told me that unless I also have IBS and migraine, I don't have it. If I do have it, then it is difficult to diagnose because it is based on symptoms rather than any tests and not a useful diagnosis, except light. There is no other treatment than exercise, so the diagnosis is not helpful. Then I asked her about the referral to a specialist such as a rheumatologist, and she said that they did not specifically study it. As for pain relief, I don't know if muscle massage is desirable. But I am willing to try. However, I will consult a doctor first. If you can, a home massage machine may be helpful.
