Fighting Fibromyalgia Whilst Being Fabulous

Anywho, I’m going to do my best to continue with the updates! ✌🏾

Good things have been happening. I never thought I would see good days like this again. I’m still fighting with a smile on my face! 💜

I'm so sorry! Sometimes, doctors suck! Before I found the my current doctor, my first doctor told me he didn't know what to do with my diagnosis. I missed my turn and ended up an extra 45 mins away from my home! Hopefully you find a good one! 💜

My doctor forgot to date my scrip and of course they were closed by the time I got to the pharmacy! Now I have to wait for them to play phone tag in order for them to fill my antibiotic!! I'm currently up dying and thinking, how meaningful that first dose would've been.

Currently experiencing this!

Costochondritis is a real mother! 😩I thought I was having a heart attack!!

He can definitely be in denial. I would send him links about Fibro and relationships. They're really helpful.

Hi there! Horizant has been my "miracle drug"! It's the only medicine that's worked for me. The only thing is, it's hard to get insurance to approve it - its $800! It's good for RLS as well!

Those were definitely my symptoms when I got diagnosed. Keep a journal on how you feel and show them the appointment you have. Some doctors suck! I hope yours gets to understanding you better.

Sorry I'm responding so late! I think you should take them to a dr appointment with you. Just to see what it's like for you and why that thought of getting a scooter of some sort would be helpful!

This so funny but, sadly it's the truth!

Came across this gem at Target (the purple ribbon had my attention)!! Definitely expresses where I'm at in life, fighting Fibro. It may knock me down sometimes but what do I do? FIGHT ON!!! 💪🏾💜

Ok, so about 6 months ago, I tried the medicine "Horizant" since nothing else worked. When I say this was the miracle drug, I meant it! Unfortunately, soon after that, I outaged my insurance and my new insurance wouldn't pay for until I tried a few other options. I mean, this is an $800 out of pocket medication and I'm nowhere close in my life to be able to afford to pay out of pocket! Well, did that, got bad side effects, on to the next. This last go round, I was positive, as well as my doctor, that Horizant would get approved. Worse possible scenario would be to pay $85 with the discount card and that was ok with me. Well...They said NO! We were so bummed, so she agreed to give me samples every month. Well today, I got a Walgreens alert saying my prescription was ready and it was the Horizant! And it only cost $3! I was so pumped and grateful!! The medical industry is trash! And unfair!
