Back to my story. Released from workers comp, new baby and still in pain. What do I do now? Well I went back to primary care doctor and he again diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia, and tells me about a treatment that involves taking guaifensen which is an expectorant for treatment of fibromyalgia, sounds crazy to me but I try it because I am desperate to feel better. This particular treatment had no effect on me. At this point I am beginning to suffer recognizable signs of depression. I've lost my mother, I have this awful pain which no one can seem to help me with, and I have two small children that I want to play with but don't have the will or the energy to do so because I hurt all the time, 24 hours a day. On a visit with my ob/gyn he suggests an anti-depressant to help with the depression I am dealing with and I discuss it with my primary care doctor and he agrees and tells me that there is some research that suggests Zoloft is helpful in treating Fibromyalgia. So, in my desperation and desire to have some since of normalcy in my life I agree to try it against my better judgement.
