OT-Anyone w/ Fibromyalgia??

Hi, just wondering if any of you have FMS and how you're doing after the DS? I really struggle from day to day w/ the disease. Just wanted to connect with any other DSers going through it.

I also struggle with FMS and RA.  I just had RNY on Feb 12th.  Good luck and keep me posted~ Cheri

Hi Cheri, Thanks for responding.  I'm pre-op.  I'm hoping when I lose the weight, about 100 lbs., my symtoms will be reduced. Stretching really helps. In fact I'm looking into a program at the gym that offers pilates.  My Dr. says that should help. I'm on Lyrica & Cymbalta.  So fat that's the only thing that helps.  What works the best is pacing myself and not over doing it.  I too have trouble with fatigue, I have to rest mid days. If I don't and I go a few days without my nap, my pain comes back with a vengence! My Drs also think I have RA but nothing conclusive yet. Good Luck w/ your post op weight loss! Let's keep in touch. More support never hurts, especially with FMS. Have a great day. Susan
