An open letter from a Fibromyalgia suffer

I like to pose the question; What do you know about this and... what do you have to stay. Simply start a discussion and remember, these letters have NOT been edited for content or spelling intentionally. The mistakes and errors have been left in to remind our fellow suffers that YOU are not alone. Enjoy the top and lets see if you think that Lipotor is aggravating our Fibromyalgia.

Hi grandma,
I remember your name. :) Thank you for the note about the Lipotor. I will post your message on our board and lets see what kind of response we get there as too what the others think.
Many of us lose sight of the fact that sometimes our medicine can make our problems worse. We take one pill to cure one ill and cause a seperate different problem.
Personally I have had to deal with problems/side effects such as exaggerated sleeplessness, irritabilty, grumpy reactions, stomach problems etc. Its never nice to run into the bevy of side effects out there but they do happen.
Keep us posted as too how your friend does but remember cholestrol problems can be more harmful than the pain sometimes. Always check with your doctor and pharmacist before changing your diet and medication.
Keep in touch we will be hoping to see you again sometime!
Barb.
