I have diabetes,polycystic ovarian syndrome and fibromyalgia. I also
have severe depression and anxiety. It takes all my energy just to get
up and type a post.

Does anyone have any advice on helping with energy levels/depression
associated with fibromyalgia? I have tried lyrica and cymbalta and
neither one agreed with me. I do see mental health professionals and
doctors often. However, like most people, I don't have the money to
seek additional help and/or experiment with a lot of drugs.

Please give me some advice.

Sincerely,

Christy

Hi Christy. I've had clinical depression and anxiety issues for nearly 30
years. Cymbalta didn't work for me either; never tried Lyrica. Neither did
Celexa work for me. Years ago, I was on Prozac, but then I started suffering
more anxiety and was having trouble sleeping. So, as a result, my doctor
prescribed Doxepin and it's been a good medicine for me. Also, I take Paxil in
the morning. Also a good one for me. Sometimes one has to experience
several before finding one that helps. Good luck; keep us posted. Nanny

Is there ANYBODY out there with fibromyalgia only?

It gets tiresome discovering people that have been prescribed
antidepressants for poorly controlled diabetes, or pain meds
because of Vitamin D levels too low. Or thyroid levels that
would qualify as low with one doc and "normal" for another.

So when I see someone talking about the problems of FMS,
it's usually the cause of my wondering what condition they have
that is not in good control.

But hey, maybe it's because I've been reading a lot lately about
cell-wall deficient organisms. They just ease into the body's cells,
and then the body goes into attack mode against itself.

But, hey, that's just another of thse undiagnosed things that get
called "fibromyalgia".

Thank you all for your stories and your help. I think I will stick
around in here, because knowing that I am not alone helps a lot.
