Spouse has MG and Fibromyalgia
How are you handling a spouse with MG and Fibro? How are your spirits? I am frustrated and I know she is too. Tips?
It seems like an oxymoron to have both something that tightens muscles and something that makes them weak, right? I too have these issues. I found that just about anything over the counter causes the fibro pain and cramping, like vitamins, antihistamines, etc. When I do not take those, I am fine with the cramping. I also use Emu oil on my muscles.
I have fibromyalgia and MG. Just finally diagnosed with MG after so many years of being “a medical mystery.” It took years to get the fibromyalgia diagnosis then another 10 to get the MG. I don’t have any answers but if your wife ever needs to talk, I’d love to. It’s lonely out here. And my husband is my hero too. Although I think he has had a hell of a burden to carry with me which brings me much guilt.
Oh... My, what a combo!!
What medication is your spouse taking for the 2 conditions. What is the most frustrating for you?
How long has your spouse and you been dealing with all this? Hugs to both of you!! Sally Farrier...
