thanks to everyone for your ideas and encouragement in response to my post. you folks are wonderful! i had labs draw yesterday to test for lymes and a few other things. i have been quite discouraged because i now have some swelling on my ribs which was found only because it has been quite tender. i have been started on vicoprofen which is a combination of hydrocodone and an anti-inflammatory and this really helped a lot in terms of aches and pain. i also started onthe magnesium and calcium with vitamin d, which seems to have helped a little with the fatigue. i really appreciate the responses everyone provided. we are looking at the fibromyalgia too, but there is no one here that really is knowledgeable about it and so docs want to rule out everything else first. my doc says that if nothing else, she will treat it as fibromyalgia, which is hopeful. i can't imagine how many of you have coped with feeling so crummy for such a long time. this has only been a couple of months for me and i am already really struggling with thinking that this could go on and on. i have always been a very active person and so to be short on energy is really hard. thanks again and i will keep praying!
