Today is not the first day of the rest of my life.  Yesterday was.  Check this out!!! Am having a new grandbaby and he/she is do on my 45th birthday.  Nope, nope, nope, not my first.  Actually my third grandchild.

 Was wondering if anyone has fibromyalgia.  Tis not a very nice thing to have.  I was diagnosed two years ago and have actually gotten worse.  The doctors have me on several drugs, some help and some do not.

My drug list is:  Neurontin 3 times a day, Zoloft once per day, Amitriptylene once per day.  Then, of course, when it gets bad, Darvacet, Flexeril and Ultram for pain and spasms.

Kind of really sucks.  Nothing is very much fun anymore cause everything hurts too much.  

Hey - I will be back tomorrow with more info on my struggle with this disease and how my family has reacted to this disease.
