Yes Trevor, I spent several years in bed until I changed my diet and got rid of nightshade vegetables, gluten and cut back on sugar, dairy and salt, and started taking systemic enzymes. ( Zymessence - Dr. Wong- online- no prescription - no messing w other drugs - suggested by my Endocrinologist) These changes were the beginning of my starting to conquer my Fibro. I felt much better soon after. I added my Pilates machine since my poor balance keeps me from walking. I added Sertalinle and Amitriptyline in small amounts to get good sleep. I have my thyroid checked every 6 months .I work hard to lessen any stress. I've stuck with these things for about 20 yrs. now, and am fairly comfortable most of the time. I do have flares on occasion, but if I stay positive, and don't blame myself, they don't last long!!

No Trevor, being dead is a long term answer to a short term problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You WILL find what works for you and this horrible time will be over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was bedridden for several years too!!!!! I send prayers, hugs, and best wishes to you for finding what works for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have to force myself to get up and move around a lot of the time. Even if it's to just walk around the house a bit.

Extreme Low energy and I just don’t feel well or rite at all . Saving that energy just to try to care for myself is darn near impossible but still fighting, I did see another day today so that’s a plus

I’d rather be dead
