Is anyone suffering from this? What meds are you taking and do you have any good advice to share?
I had very severe SPD during my pregnancies and it never went away after giving birth, 3 doctors have diagnosed me with fibromyalgia since then. I'm not taking anything now except painkillers since I'm TTC but I'm giving Neurontin (Gabapentin) a try next. Amitryptiline did nothing for the pain, I've changed my diet and that hasn't helped either. I was taking Topamax for migraine and it did wonders for my pain but I had to stop taking it because of side effects
The only thing that helps me is doing NOTHING. I can't clean, I can't walk much, I can hardly bathe my kids, I stopped working a month ago and went to uni again (distance learning) because of the pain. I didn't wanna go on disability, am gonna try extensive physical therapy and some other meds first. But I am concerned about going to work again I loved my job and was really disappointed that I had to quit.
