My orthopedic Dr. put me on Celebrex and Paxil for 3 months and my Fibromyalgia was cured. Before that I thought I was going to be disabled. I was in pain all of the time. I had gone to an arthritis Dr and he too confirmed I had Fibromyalgia. There were weeks in which I couldn't sleep because of the pain. I was able to change my shedule at work so if I fell asleep in the early morning hours I wouldn't be late for work. The only problem I had was the week after the Dr. took me off of the Paxil, it was hard. I was depressed, crying and thought I made a mistake going on it. But after one week, I had no more side affects and I haven't been in pain again. This was over 1 1/2 years ago. I am now on Atkins to lose weight. This is how I found this site. Good luck to all...

Jenise, I am happy that you have gotten to a point that you are pain free. I think that is wonderful. I just wanted to share something with you. I know that you say you are cured, but there is no cure for fibromyalgia. If you TRULY have fibromyalgia, you can go into remission...and that can last years. But there is not a cure. If it is fibro, a flair up can happen at any time. I have had fibromyalgia now for almost 6 years. I am one of the unfortunate ones that have not ever had a period of remission. Mine seems to be progressing and getting worse day by day. I have been on paxil and celebrex along with duragesic, vicodin, ambien, wellbutrin xl, prevacid, and a lot more. I am happy for you. I will pray that what you experienced before was not fibro but some kind of virus or bug that has been cured. I have done everything they told me would help, including a drastic weight loss. I lost 170 pounds! I do yoga twice a week, daily stretching and walks and I have a therapuetic massage once a week. Now I am starting an experimental program where you are exposed to UV rays for 20 minutes a day, every day. In order to accomplish this, I have to make a purchase of a tanning bed. It is a huge expense, but I will do whatever it takes to get some relief. In all the years that I have had fibro, I have noticed that I feel much better in the summer. I get almost suicidal in the winter months and the pain is almost more than I can take. I am a nurse by trade but had to stop working 3 years ago. The pain and chronic fatigue (I was diagnosed with CFS too) had gotten too bad. I am disabled. I was able to win my disability case after 3 years of fighting. I had to finally go before an administrave law judge to win. It was kind of funny. He was looking at my medical records (I am 35 now) and the stack was at least 7 inches thick. He looked up at me from his desk and said "why are you here? You should have been awarded this the very first time you applied!" I already knew that, lol. I also suffer from severe depression, I had a pacemaker put in when I was 29 because of a lethal heart rythm and a number of other things. Sorry I have rambled on so long. My point is, I am glad that you are no longer suffering. I am thinking you may have had some type of a virus or a bacterial infection (can invade soft tissues and be virtually undetectable). Maybe some day I will go into remission too. I pray for it everyday. Stacey
