-> I've been through the injections once... a year ago. And yes, I did
-> have relief. They started them again this year, but I'm also doing
-> the chemotherapy bit, and well... the combination of the two REALLY
-> made me miserable.
I hear that. :( The shots alone gave me unmanageable side effects, but
that's rare.
-> They've put me on a heavy duty muscle relaxant
-> that I hate to take... My doctor told me to take it and go to bed.
-> Of course having the alcoholics thinking, I took it and stayed up
-> reading.  I darn near wound up on the floor.  I'm not real sure how
-> I made it to bed.
 Sounds ree-e-eal familiar.  Are you doing any herbal or
homeopathic medicine, and do you have access to a Reiki practitioner?
A hypnotist or acupuncturist? A massage therapist who knows what to do
with fibromyalgia?
-> it's in all the muscles, not just my back and hips.  I've got a big
-> one just under the rib cage in my chest.  That sucker hurts!
My worst ones are in my "dowager's hump" and biceps tendons. Hurt, hurt,
*hurt*.
-> Oh well, from here it can only get better!
Let's hope. Hang in there, my dear.
