Quick question: Uhm, has anyone else noticed that wearing "certain" articles of clothing can bring on more pain? Or is that age?...
Lyrica didn't really help, I gained lots of weight and then started swelling on the left side only. The weight gain increased the fibro pain, put more stress on my body. I'm on Savella now, first...

Thank you very much for taking of your time to answer. the last two days have been crappy and I have not talked ( I isolate) but I didn't want to appear UNappreciative. I will be back. Thank you...
I started reading Fibro 101 and have been yelling at my husband because there are things mentioned that I know are not in my head. I didn't even know that Fibro would cause bruising, personality...

Hi,I'm Rosa. 42/f. For years I have had body pains. Probably since at least 2000, can't recall. I've been on meds since, the age of two, phenobarbital for epilepsy (which apparently I never had)....

I sort-of take it. Doc has me on 200mg at bedtime, I was gaining weight rapidly so decided to take it only so so, well, is my family doesn't kill me first, I'll probably end up in the hospital, but...
Deb, I realize that you posted this a few weeks ago, but I wanted to respond and let you know you are not alone. I had ECT in 2004 (I think). There is so much in my life that I can't recall that it...
Does anyone know if the two are related? In the last few weeks seems like I'm just getting worse and worse. I've gone from having difficulty going out, to having panic attacks at the thought of going...
WOW!!! It is contagious. For the last few nights I can't seem to fall asleep and then I'm up early (although, I have nothing to do). Seems like I'm tired, just exhausted, but buzzing around and when...
Don't give up. Some doctors are arrogant and can't be bothered, while others care and want to help. When you see the doc tomorrow explain your feelings about not receiving care for your mental...
Sadboy, I have been thinking of you and wondering how you're doing. Please update soon so that we all know that you are okay. Rosa...
I had ECT about 2 years okay. It was great. The procedure is okay. For me, I went in, they put a band around my forehead and inserted an IV. Then they put some white stuff in the IV, while in the...
Sadboy, First off - tell you gf what you are going through. Secondly - if you wake up feeling the same way you call 911 (here) or an ambulance, not the hospital. You tell them that you are having...
Oh yeah, you might be bipolar is you wake up one day with a man in your bed, not the guy you've been dating for three years and marry him before going to work that same day. Hmmmm, needless you say,...
Thank you Roxie. The appointment went well, although I felt like a babbling idiot. She asked how my day was, well, I answered, I have been calm, angry, forgetful, crying, happy and that was just this...
You might be bi-polar when you calculate and figure that with a big sheet tied to your arms like wings you can jump off a two story balcony and slowly glide down. (didn't do it thank goodness, had...
I checked out http://www.themedicineprogram.com/links.html and it does offer some good options. My boyfriend/fiance signed me up for TogetherRxAccess.com and some of the medications for bipolar and...
Morning, This is my first appointment with this new doctor. I moved here about 3 months ago and haven't been working, but I can't stand it anymore and feel like I won't be able to get back to work...
Thank you all for responding. I've been on the Lamictal about 12 days. In that time I've slept a lot some days, was very hyper one day, then crying a few hours later, then the next day full of rage...
Hi. Recently I was started on Lamictal 25mg once a day to be increased to 50mg twice a day (I think) and also put on Ativan 1mg twice a day as needed by a general doctor. This Thursday I have an...
Thank you for the responses. As far as staying clean for the last two years, I started with NA then I moved away from where I grew up. I realized that I could not deal with a lot of stress so I ended...
Hi, first post on here. I've been on medications since the age of 2 (phenobarbital) and then started psychotropics at age 13 - I'm almost 40 now. Mostly, I've always been diagnosed as having...
