I was diagnosed w/Fibromyalgia

I have Fibromyalgia Syndrome. There are fair-to-middlin' days, bad days, and some days it's just best not to talk about it.

When the rheumatologist diagnosed me I asked him, “what the heck was Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS)” was. He told me it had to do with muscles and connective tissues.

There is no cure for Fibromyalgia. It can, however, be managed to some extent. Without an effective pain management plan, care for Patient’s with FMS can be frustrating, time-consuming and expensive. Some medications help to obtain sleep and relax our muscles that never completely rest. No medication short of general anesthesia can eliminate the pain.

The cognitive impairments are the most difficult to accept and deal with. Problems with concentration and short-term memory are common. I often think one thing and say another; know the word I'm searching for but can't find it, usually I know the letter it starts with. I can be in the middle of a sentence and suddenly have no idea what I was saying or going to say. At times I have difficulty in concentrating and I am easily distracted.

My “Job Description” challenges my mental attitude and requires mental and physical endurance, which I LACK. Since I have been drinking A.C.T. I have really noticed a huge difference with my attitude and endurance. I am pleased! I am especially PLEASED that A.C.T. is VERY affordable!!!!!!!!!!!!!
