....as a possibility if your symptoms continue. Not a hell of a lot they can give you for it anyway (Elavil's the most common drug).
In the meantime, I'd get something to help you sleep. Whether it's Fibro or not, it sounds like you're not getting enough deep sleep. I find NatraSleep (VAlerian and hops) helpful myself, but do wish I had something stronger!

Last night I had a breakdown, basically I'm sick and tired of feeling exhausted and sore, so I went to student health today. The doc I got actually is one of the better ones there, I've had him before. He said that a lot of it might be my posture, but he also is doing some blood work. They took 4 vials of blood, and the prescription pad had a good column and a half of tests to run on it. He's going to call me next week with the results, and I guess where to go from there. He's also gave me a prescription for 600 mg Motrin, which I don't know if I'll actually fill or not.
Now off to get some lunch to counteract all that blood being drawn!

I hope they get to the bottom of this! Be careful with the motrin, I can't take any of that stuff because it KILLS my tummy. Maybe ask for Ultracet, its a precription pain pill but it isn't a narcotic and its tylenol based so it doesn't bother my tummy. Let us know when you hear something.

Sounds like a good doc!  What's up with your posture? I've had back-front scoliosis for years (darn muscles ganging up on me  ) and it's worse with Fibro.

He said it may be that I hunch over the computer too much when I do work, especially since I do my homework on my bed rather than my desk when I'm at home. Mac (my bf) took over my desk when he moved in, so this weekend, I'm going to kick him off my desk and do my work there and try to see if that helps. No scoliosis that I know of though, since they tested us for it every year in elementary and middle school.

Yeah, I figured motrin was bad for my tummy! I think I'll just deal with the pain for right now, at least until I get the blood test results next week.
Thanks!

Sometimes we get so used to being in pain we just accept all pain as normal.
Hopefully, this thorough doc will help you. Keep us updated!

I'm still frustratedly waiting to hear back from the doctor about the blood tests! I'm giving him until the end of today (since Monday was a holiday), and I'm calling him tomorrow if I don't hear from him. This weekend was not the greatest  I was in a lot of pain most of the weekend, especially my shoulders. Heating pads are wonderful things!
Not moving until the end of August, but Mac did decide to start packing some this weekend! We're anxious to move, but it's still almost 2 months away!
Classes are the same, lots of work, which is hard to do when you're in pain...I didn't get nearly as much done this weekend as I wanted.
I sent you an email on Monday, hope you got it!
Lots of love!
