Taking ibuprofen just to function properly

Tweet

I have fibroymalgia and I take ibuprofen when the pain gets too bad. I won't take it unless I'm in so much pain that I am crying, but then I have to. Recently I had a very severe ear and sinus infection. Whenever I'm sick with any illness it makes all of my fibro symptoms worse too. I finally gave in and started taking ibuprofen around the clock. I couldn't believe how much better my pain level was! I had never taken it on a steady basis before. I could actually go through a day without my shoulders killing me, my hips locking up, or my feet and ankles hurting so much I couldn't stand to walk. I am no longer taking it, because my antibiotic is helping the infections, so my throat and ear are getting better. Now,I'm back to hurting with my fibro pain all the time. It's awful that you have to live on medication to even function normally.
