I frankly believe it is worse than other people's memories. Sometimes I think I'm missing quite a bit because of memory loss, but I don't recognize what I'm losing because I can't commemorate. Does anyone have any reason what could be causing this? I’m 32 years old and I experience a terrible memory for numbers and names. I frankly believe it is worse than other people’s memories.

About 1 in 4 patients with SLE also have a diagnosis of fibromyalgia. So it goes that just because a patient has fibromyalgia it doedsn't mean they don't suffer from anything else. That can be the most tricky part... On the other hand sometimes that fact doesn't do a lot to reassure your patients. I guess that's where confidence in your physician comes in.

Admittedly, of the varying methods of treating this chronic syndrome, hope often wanes. Up to this point, the best my doctors offer is a myriad of medications that only treat some of the symptoms. A good deal just by taking the edge off of the pain. Which is not to be scoffed at, since there are times the pain lingers so long you think you're going to go crazy. I just found your blog, and thought I'd start reading from the beginning. (This is to explain the comment so far back in your archives) ;-) I promise, I'm not spam. Just an FMS survivor always looking for that hope! 3T Here’s to hope. Admittedly, of the varying methods of treating this chronic syndrome, hope often wanes.
