Ok guys, I know I have been in and out. Hope everyone is doing well. I have more questions. I told you all a while back the dr said I had fibro. A week after that, my leg from foot to knee started...
I would go with what the Rheumy says. He/she is the one trained for it. Try taking the meds they way they say. I have to take 2 alive twice a day. My first thought was.. "Alive?? Really?? WTH is that...
Thank-you Robin, Hot bath is out of the question. My bathroom only has a shower no tub. My hall bathroom has a tub, but its my kids bathroom. Do you have any idea how nasty a tub that 3 teenagers use...
Hi, For years I did not believe fibro was real either. I knew 2 people that "have it". One admits to pushing a Dr to say it because she did not want to work, the other is a pill head who was kicked...
On top of all the medical stuff going on with me, and the wonderful family stuff I have going on. I thought I would take a min to rant in the only way I can freely. With as little fear of judgment...
Like I told you guys earlier, my Dr. wants me to see a rheumatologist. I got a call a few mins ago. It was their office. They want me there ASAP. Set me up an apt on Monday. I asked her if she could...
So my doctor tells me... Sounds like fibro to me. Gonna send you to a rheumatologist, put you on muscle relaxers to help. So I wait, no call. Its time to go back to the dr. She has not put in the...
Karen, I have been in this world for years, just didnt know what it was called....
Truth be told, for a long time I did not think fibromyalgia was a "real thing". I only know 2 people that have ever been diagnosed with it. The first is my ex mother in law, who pushed her dr to...
I have 4 kids ages 18, 16, 14 and 3 (I know big brake in between..lol). The older ones are easy. I can play video games or watch movies with them. The baby is the hard one. She does understand mommy...
My doctor has told me she thinks its fibromyalgia and is sending me to a rheumatologist. I still wonder if it could be something else. My pain is crazy. My everything hurts all the time, but the...
Well I was able to see my dr today. The one that started this trip with me. Her words were.... Well I can't diagnose you with fibromyalgia. You will have to go to a rheumatologist. But you have...
Larry, its more then ok. To everyone else... She is now telling me I CAN'T go to her next session. I will keep trying....
Thank you LexiRae. You guys and gals have been great. Thanks :D...
@Kitt That was kinda my thought too. There is also the fear there. What if I dont believer her and she hurts herself?? When she first talked to her Dr about the suicidal thought, the Dr wanted her on...
@Larry Really? When I called before the therapist told me she could not talk to me at all....
She wont share anything, unless its "bad". I have tried to talk to her about it. She tells me time and time again that she cant talk about it. I try my best to support her. I dont think it would be a...
I hope I'm in the right forum for this. It was the closest I could find to the problem at hand. At 18 my daughter went to her Dr and said she thought she needed therapy. That she felt like she wanted...
I go through spells. I have been known to crave attention. Am I just being a diva? Wanting eyes on me? My brother and I refer to that voice in the back of your head, ya know the one that talks crap...
They have told me it could be anything from vitamin deficiency, to autoimmune to fibro. It started after I had a nasty infection in my breast. The dr said that it my have cased something or been the...
@straydog they keep saying it looks and sounds autoimmune, now its 5 million test. Let me stick you 12 times for 1 test. Oh not that one? Ok stick, test. Uggg Because I dont have inc, my dr limits...
I (as well as most of you I'm sure) seem to be stuck in this nasty cycle. Doctors keep saying.. We need to get your anxiety under control. It should help with the pain while we try to find the...
@Merrida A few weeks ago, I ran into a friend. He asked how I was doing. I told him I felt like crap (I used a word not that nice) and felt like I had been hit by a truck. He responded with...you...
@JanuaryGirl67 no mri, no urinalysis. If it is an infection, it would have to be a nasty one. The amount of antibiotics they had me on for the breast infection could have taken anything out. lol I do...
I'm going to try to make a very long story as short as I can. lol I have a history of depression and anxiety, that I spent most of my life dealing with on my own. I tried therapy at one point, and...
