10. fibro kicked off by west nile virus

Tue Dec 13, 2011, 11:55 AM

Dec 2011

although somewhat present all my life, the fatigue really got me after that.
taking lyrica, which has helped the pain. taking cymbalta now, and still trying to decide about it. great for my mood, but bouts of drowsiness that i do.not.need. seems to be helping painwise, also, tho. going to try to back out the lyrica before i make up my mind.

and yes, the exercise intolerance is so frustrating. try to build yourself up, but it just does not seem worth the effort. and hour in the gym, and that's my day. sucks.
