    Battling a Fibro Flare up

    Besides rest.. need some new strategies - Advil isn't quite cutting it..

    Has anyone tried Amygdala retraining?

    I really want to keep exercising - and I find myself fighting to get up the driveway, much less walk my whole hour.. I want to make it to my class this weekend - but don't know if I can work through the pain..

    Any suggestions?

    Doh
    I am sorry your dealing with this. I never had much pain when I was dealing with my illness. I can't believe that your doctor can't help you with this. I hope you feel better soon.

    Thanks Jennifer - The docs wants to only treat the symptoms - and I am not into taking the drugs offered (to me the side effects are worse than the actual disease)

    i;ve never heard of amdyla(mispelled I know!). I have fibromyalgia and wish there was a cure. I dont want to take more meds than I take now, and have tried several with no avail. they just made me like a zombie and with 2 kids I cant be a zombie. Hope you can find something to help. maybe web md or mayo clinic would have some help?

    zig - the amygdala is apart of the brain - and this doc says that an injury to it may be related to fibro and CFS symptoms.. I'm starting to get mack on the upswing from this one..
