Yes I am from Canada. I am on disability thru my employer, once the 2 years is up you switch to long term disability. They sent me for an independent medical exam. I have been on my pain pills for...
I have been having the insurance company battles for a while now. I requested a copy of my file & I could not believe the inaccuracies! I would recommend everybody ask for a copy of your file so you...
Wow - thanks so much for sharing. It strangely does help knowing that I'm not alone in my feelings. Yes I would rather be on disability than work, I would rather wake up every morning after a solid...
So I've had the radio frequency denervation on my facet joint & thankfully got some relief! Oddly enough (or maybe not) my back felt sore in different areas! I guess the facet joint pain was so...
Hi there. Well my radio frequency denervation on my facet joints was almost a month ago. My pain was this little pressure point that u could put ur finger on, it ached & throbbed. I'm happy to say...
This procedure did work much better than last time I had it done. With my facet joint I could feel that spot throbbing like it had its own little heartbeat! That has decreased a lot. I still have...
1 week after treatment. The procedure hurt more than last time which I looked at as a positive thing. It sort of worked - that pain spot that throbbed in my back has decreased (yah) but I still have...
So I saw my Dr & presented him with list of fibromyalgia symtoms as it really does sound to me like this may be happening. He said a lot of the symptoms are similar to chronic pain syndrome, which...
Hi I am a newer member as well, it was suggested to me to read the fibro 101 for info. I am seeing my doctor today with the symptom list to see if I do actually have fibromyalgia!...
My mom is a retired nurse so she is used to calls about health ailments from everybody. I printed the list of symtoms and I asked her if they apply to me - most did and some I didn't even realize....
Oh you will laugh - everybody does & I'm ok with that! I was at work & went to washroom. As I'm "getting in position" I realize seat is up & I jump up quickly. When I did I had this sharp pain shoot...
I also thought Ibs was a problem with going to the bathroom with urgency - never thought that could go the other way too. I'm going to print the fibro symtoms & check the ones I have to give to my...
I have a good post! Went to my daughters volleyball tournament, was tired & sore the entire time. But I was there to see her receive the all star award for her team! Still very sore today - but today...
I am so amazed. I read thru the symptoms & there are some I have that I didn't even think could be related. I wake in the morning sweaty even though I have a fan, I also get this feeling like my lips...
I use Effexor as well, oxy, and a mild sleeping pill. Sometimes it just feels like its more problems being added all the time - mental & physical....
Hi, I just discovered this forum which is great (and not so great that we all suffer). I suspect I may have fibromyalgia, cause a lot of the symtoms fit but I am not sure. Can it develop after a...
Yes I am totally a roller coaster of emotions! I do know I am doing my best for my family, but sometimes it does hurt that I can't. I do find the hardest thing was not knowing what was wrong with me....
I'm so glad I found you! It is extremely hard dealing with pain all the time. I have 3 children - girls ages 13,11,&3. It breaks my heart that I feel sometimes I'm not the mother I should be. I am...
Hi! Just discovered this forum & thought it looked great to be able to talk with other sufferers like me! My story- I hurt my back in dec 2009-silly accident involving a toilet ;). For months I was...
