The odds are pretty low, like winning the lottery. Patientslikeme.com data reveals that 94% of patients with Fibromyalgia are females while only 6% are males. Just in case you don’t know, Fibromyalgia also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are both disorders characterized by widespread musculoskeletal aches, pain and stiffness, soft tissue tenderness, general fatigue, and sleep disturbances. Imagine knowing what treatments work for people just like you — and having the ability to easily connect with those people. That’s what makes PatientsLikeMe different.My pain was significantly under control with the Cymbalta, Lyrica/Flexeril/Requip/Klonopin mix that they have me on. And, when I didn’t have the Requip or Lyrica it jumped back up to 9 on that scale.I think every single night someone throws me in the dryer.lol.Every morning I wake up with terrible pain and extreme exhaustion.To be so exhausted you can’t even do the things you usually loved and looked forward to doing.Mine is art.Watercolors to be exact.I love it.But I havent been able to sit for any length of time to do it.So i lay in bed on my laptop in between house dutys. My passion for animals has kept me from staying in bed full time.
