Protecting Yourself From Fibromylagia Cure Scams

Protecting Yourself From Fibromyalgia Cure Scams

I had a woman blatantly attack me about “not wanting to be cured” and “enjoying my pain” because I knew she was trying to scam people, and called her out on it. Her claims of curing herself with things I’ve already done was enough to enrage me after a few hours. Thankfully, others asked her for scientific evidence and medical evidence that she was indeed cured. Her answer? “None of you want to be cured. Enjoy your pain! I have a GREAT life now.”

If you truly want to help people; you don’t spew nonsense, attack, or say vile things to them.

Fibromyalgia is progressive. I wish I had focused more on that when I was initially diagnosed as opposed to thinking “It’s not Lupus. Thank you, G-d.” Today, in the darkness of mourning someone, I wish I knew 100% that it’s ONLY Fibromyalgia. I don’t believe it is; not any more. Here’s hoping I find out soon. 😦

This Might Be Why Depression Is Rising Among Teen Girls

Depression began at around age six for me. It has escalated into something that tries to take over my life on a daily basis. For me, it is hereditary. It is also treatment-resistant. So, I suffer silently because no one gives a damn to hear me or see past someone who “look normal”. I hope I’m able to “not look normal” one day and get it right, so as not to confuse others!

Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Melatonin 3 mg, Amitriptyline 25 mg, and Placebo For Migraine Prevention

I question this because I take 5 mgs of Melatonin as needed. It has not improved my migraines at all. I’ve taken 100 mgs of Amitriptyline; it didn’t do anything. I worry that, if chosen for a migraine study, I will be placed on the placebo, but that’s a chance I am willing to take since I did throw my name into the ring for one that is local. The worst thing that can happen is, my migraines will continue being migraines. 😦
