Fibromyalgia syndrome: A disorder characterised by muscle pain, stiffness and easy fatigability. The cause is unknown and an estimated 3 million are affected in the USA.
3 million and one. So I'v ebeen "diagnosed" with this syndrome. Evidently you're not supposed to call it a disease because they know how diseases work and are caused, a Syndrome is evidently just a bunch of symptoms that are related without any known cause. I've been doing alot of reading.
But there are 18 points on the body that if pressed with enough pressure to just whiten the finger nail (approx. 4 kg) will produce pain in people with FMS. But it's not a "Catch all" diagnosis either, evidently they won't diagnose you with it if you just happen to not have rheumatoid arthritis or any of the other numerous diseases and syndromes. Whatever. Also;

Amitriptyline: This is a prescription drug used to treat depression (it is classed as a tricyclic antidepressant). It may cause a wide range of side effects, including rashes, nausea, weight gain/loss, drowsiness, nervousness, insomnia, confusion, seizures, coma, etc.

This is what I've been put on? It is also a pain killer used for some people with chronic headaches, as well as a sedative at mental wards? Far more dope than I think I want running around in my system, and it makes me really air headed, and I can't remember things... just irritating. So I'm going to stop taking it.. and sell the rest of the pills I have (just kidding).

Oh, I finally got back on track for my homework, evidently, (according to a medication encyclopedia at the library) Amitriptyline is also used on ADhD kids, so I concentrate better now? Whateva.

And, school ends and I'm sooo out of Denny's. I'm putting in my two weeks notice the day school lets out and going up to columbia to Express Personel, same as Toeni! (Dawn <3's Toeni&Lexy)

So, uh, I don't know.. Stop looking at me.
