Why does my time stamp read 10:40pm? It's 6:40 pm where I am in Ky?
It looks like Jeff S. is waiting for questions. I have not read his book but was hoping someone would get this party started. I have severe osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. I am in pain management and taking daily pain meds (gabapentin, hydrocodeine, and duloxetine). I'm kind of stuck in my house because I can't walk around much and I get very tired. Most of the time I don't know what is bothering me the arthritis or the fibromyalgia. Its all just pain. I see an osteopath every 2 weeks and he keeps everything where its supposed to be. What else can I do?
This is my first time doing this and I don't know what to expect. Has the discussion begun?
Hello Members,
Thank you for opportunity to share some of the insights from my book, Fibromyalgia and Chronic Widespread Pain: How to Survive and Thrive, with you this afternoon.
The Amazon link for the book is: Fibromyalgia and Chronic Widespread Pain: How to Survive and Thrive
I look forward to speaking with you again.
Jeff Sarkozi, MD, FRCPC, FACR
