Thanks, you guys, for all your help!!!
Amelia! Hey. I read a book about fibromyalgia a couple of years ago-it basically said the actual cause is not getting enough hours of the right type of sleep. the book explains how it starts to affect your immune system, subsequent symptoms...I don't remember too much about it.
I was diagnosed w/fibromyalgia when I was taking Effexor 2 years ago, and I didn't like that diagnosis so I got that book and after reading it, suspected Effexor was f*ck*ng up my sleep patterns, so after suffering for months, I quit taking it and all the symptoms went away. I guess because Effexor didn't give me those side effects before, it was never suspected as the cause. But after reading that book, it made sense, although it might have been only theory, that the effects of sleep deprivation of a certain type of sleep would lead to protracted changes to your body. Think about that? Maybe you could go to a sleep specialist? But it sounds like you are dealing with enough medical stuff right now! I hope it gets better for you soon-you deserve it!!!
Hugs, Garnet
