Niecy -
I didn't receive an official fibromyalgia diagnosis, but I saw it mentioned in my medical record at one point.
I sleep on all sides - like cooking a roast - back, stomach, each side. My bed isn't very comfortable and I may have to get a new one. I'm just a little afraid of memory foam - isn't that a petroleum product? I stay as far away from that stuff as possible.
I think some foams are made from latex. I gotta do something.
I don't take any medications, either, except a very tiny amount of xanax. I don't even take aspirin, tylenol, etc. I'd like to, but the doc I am working with is against all of that.
I do think the pain is from injury - sleeping on my sides, leaning on my hand while lying on my side (I've stopped doing that), etc. At least I'm hoping that's the case, then maybe it'll heal. If fibers are imbedded in the joints, then I'm screwed.
Actually, those two things aren't mutually exclusive. Over a year ago I did a huge amount of purging over about a 3 month period of time, and wherever I had joint swelling, scars, etc., much more came out of there than other places. I did read one time that this junk does go to points of injury, surgery, etc.
