I am glad you found a medication that works for you. I seem to have horrible reactions to all medications. Just my luck! My husband is always willing to do as yours does, and it is a God send. Monthly professional massages help me too. Yes, water is important!!

Thank you for speaking so candidly and confidently about your struggle with this often debilitating, incredibly complex, still largely misunderstood (very much including by the medical community itself) condition.
