Hi Hopegirl, I took the months of November and December off primarily for my fibro (that was 2 years ago). I had to do it----I was newly diagnosed with the fibro, plus my husband had just had...
Hi Kevin, I was on Wellbutrin for a couple of years and I did like the slight increase in energy, it seemed to work quickly. However, within the last few months, I started having severe headaches,...
hello to everyone! Kitt, how long have you been in this boat? What do you do to keep yourself sane? Some days it's so so hard. Right now, there's already ads in the papers for "going back to school"...
thanks Karen and Kitt, I've been on Wellbutrin for a couple of years. I took 2 100 mg tabs in the morning, then 1 in the afternoon. The headaches have always been there, it was just the severity that...
...
I had developed really severe headaches recently, so, after reading about potential side effects which included headaches/increase of stroke risk, I decided to stop taking the Wellbutrin. It worked,...
Not for employment" they called it the Dark Ages". This is a great thread...thanks for starting it! ...
I use those Azo test strips now---I used it a week ago (Saturday) and it was dark purple (indicative of infection) and that's when I got the 5 day supply of Cipro. (250 mg 2x a day). after taking all...
Meggie, I remember long, dreary winters in Connecticut...that steel gray sky, the long, cold winter days..... I always enjoyed sledding--great exercise!!!!! never tried snowshoeing but that sounds...
Meggie---I grew up in New England, and the only socks/gloves that keep me warm are from LL Bean....
I live in central Florida, and wherever I go---the mall, movies, anywhere, I always wear lightweight jeans and bring a cotton long sleeve hoodie. ESPECIALLY when I go grocery shopping---the dairy,...
Mrsppmrxky, I think I'll take your advice and find another urologist--there was no way I'd return to the one who literally tortured me though! When I returned to work the next day and told a friend,...
I'm not going to a urologist--I've been seeing my gyn for all this stuff since he also does the bladder tac, treats incontinance too. After I have my yearly mammogram, I'm going back for my HRT...
milestogo, My husband and I faced the same issue 2 years ago. We're in the Tampa area. My husband was adament, as you are about getting the absolute best in the field since this is a one shot deal....
Thank you so much ericsmom, Sherrine (that site is so informative!), Tootiebug58, and Mrsppmrsky! You all gave me great information and a new, broader perspective on this. Yesterday was my last day...
I had a hysterectomy 9 years ago, have been on HRT ever since. Was diagnosed with fibro a couple of years ago. I've had recurrent UTI's over the last year. My doctor now wants to do some invasive...
Give yourself time to heal. We saw great improvement at 11 months post surgery (Da Vinci, nerve sparing). My husband just passed the 18 month mark and is able to obtain usable erections, often as...
don't get discouraged. It took my husband 11 months post surgery to achieve a usable erection with the use of Viagra, and it's been improving ever since. He uses maybe one third to one half a pill...
My regular pm doc does not treat fibro--I get my percocets from him for my neuromas. New pm dr. I saw today wants to inject my spine that "may or may not" help the neuromas. It's called a " stellate...
Take care of yourself first and foremost. I was so fortunate that my husband just said "stop killing yourself, you don't have to work". I'm a high school teacher, and quitting was so hard for me, but...
My husband did extensive research after his diagnosis, and we decided that we'd go with the best, which in our opinion was Dr. Mani Menon at Henry Ford. We're in Florida, so obviously the travel was...
I found a new pm dr who DOES treat fibro, appt is Feb. 5. I wish it was today. I am grateful that it's just next week, since new patients typically have to wait weeks for an appt. I'lm going to go in...
I've only seen my fibro dr. twice--once for the diagnosis and the other time for him to sign a medical leave form so that I could take a couple of months off from work. I told him then that I was so...
I take 4 10mg percocets/day for a neuroma on right wrist . I also have fibromyalgia. My PM dr does NOT treat fibro (I was diagnosed with fibro just last year, have been going to the pm dr. for...
Geon, My husband used trimix approximately 5 times. The erections just were not "right" and as I previously said, they were very painful for him, thus unusable. We detected a slight curve which...
Any mutually agreeable activity to bring blood flow to the penis is a good thing! Oral stimulation can certainly help, but sometimes it doesn't---it just depends. My husband has found that getting...
It was 11 months post surgery before we had a really usable erection (with Viagra). The 11th month was such a turning point. Nasha...
