I am expirimenting with using instrumental music for pain and anxiety control. That is how I found this site. After 3 years of increasing tiredness and pain I finally got a diagnosis - Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (my brain won't stay awake) and Fibromyalgia (my muscles are very tense and hurt all the time, the pain builds up until it is intolerable) Because of these problems I haven't been able to work since January 2009. I tried real hard to keep working, but my symptoms became so bad that I was fired from 3 jobs in 7 months. So know I have anxiety & depression because of the inability to pay bills or have my own appartment/house, I haven't even had my own room since October 2008. I haven't been able to drive safely since November 2008. The doctor says I sleep drive, sleep walk, sleep talk, sleep cook, etc. I never know when my brain will go to sleep & leave me on "autopilot". I have been waiting for 2 weeks for my insurance to approve the medicine my doctor says might help me stay awake during the day. It is very expensive according to the pharmacy, that is why my insurance doesn't want me to use it. GREAT! There needs to be a change in the law that insurance can't interfere with a person's medical treatment! OK, that is enough complaining! I love music, so I am testing to see how much it can help me with anxiety, depression & pain. Currently I have a netbook computer I can use to listen to music with ear buds, next I need something pocket sized so I can be portable and not connected by the ears to a computer! HA, HA!
