I know I'm reaching, but does anyone have any clue how to stop the hair loss? I've found a consistency between nearly all chronic pain conditions and most of them having the symptom of hair loss, and...
Yeah he really kept Jim Henson's spirit alive. =)...
Ooh climate changes knock me down bad, and I do not have arthritis. I do have every symptom that you've described and then some. I've been back and forth between spine specialists, on my second...
The song is sad...Both the intro/end and the one song with words. I forgot how beautiful all the music was. I just watched it with my youngest yesterday since we were talking about it, and of course,...
The Snowman, at least the one I really like is animated and released in 1982 based on a children's book. There's no words, save one song. Its such a cute, cute whimsical story. Beats out Frosty any...
Ooh I am so sorry.. I too never have, but also wanted to say a welcome. If my topamax didn't work for me, I'd be dying. I guess at this point, what are the possible down sides, aside from the chance...
Really?? I wonder if that's why I can't find it anywhere. Its such a beautiful movie! I've loved it since I was I was very young....
I know I'm a little late coming in but ksiler75, you are so not alone in all this.. I'm only nine years younger than you, and I know what you're talking about with the problem with hips and legs....
I can't give much in the way of meds but in the course of six months I've been dealing with it, I've only had one stretch of good days. I had one week where my pain was maybe at a 3, and I did the...
It is really nice that I'm not the only one who gets these. Sherrine I tried finding the knots and I couldn't. I put pressure there anyways, and it just made the front of my head hurt. But my doc...
Luvzminis- I LOVE Invasion of the Body Snatchers! But The 1978 version is my favorite, the Trekkie in me has to side with anything Leonard Nimoy. The bad sci-fi is where all the fun is! My mom and I...
Thank you Jenni for sharing with me. I might actually try Lyrica now, if it at least helps with the sensory overload. I can't even see the road out of my peripheral when I'm in the car now most of...
Sherrine, I've been trying that and I can't find anywhere. There are spots on the back of my neck that the skin feels bruised and I tried rubbing out those spots but it hasn't helped. My husband...
Oh god can spasms really last this long?? The only things I've got is heat and Bengay. (side note, love your lemons signature)...
It started a few days ago in the right side of my neck in the right, that muscle or tendon, started getting really tight and hurting. I've been stretching it out and rubbing it but in the course of...
Running through both, both I do appreciate the written, but I do so much better with following someone's movement, but I at least recognise a lot of the one's you shared Sherrine and those sound like...
Oh thank you AnnaBananna, I hope I can find something there! I would love to just learn new poses and to get in and out of them with ease. Better than sitting or laying down all day. Thank you...
I've loved Meet Me in St. Louis since I was a child. And Yes, "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" is one of the bad black and whites that came out 50s. My mom has a strange love for terrible movies,...
Meet Me In St. Louis Muppet's Christmas Carol Die Hard (IT IS A CHRISTMAS MOVIE because there's tinsel!..somewhere) (Can't say its a favorite yet but I will be watching) Santa Claus Conquers The...
Oh geeze. That is weird that nothing came up but feeling the same thing before then after the injury.. I had serious pain in my hip, similar to now except that debilitating pain is randomly...
I've read through all of Fibro 101, as well as any other material I could find. Everything from alternative medicines to treatments. The first thing I was ever given was muscle relaxers which...
Oh my lord how in the world do you do it???...
I've been in the chronic pain area for a while, coming here finally as it seems that there's a good chance this is what I have. I've had a series of issues that line up with fibro (as well as some...
Oh this one should be between 1500 to 1800 depending on what he decides to do, then how much my insurance decides to cover....
After another month's wait I finally have a new neurologist. He is really wonderful. His was the first most thorough physical exam I've had in a while. He said it really sounds like fibromyalgia but...
Thank you for this post Daesin. I read this last night, after I had been (as well) doing laundry. I've been reduced to trying to only do it once a week so I'm not killing myself. I find myself having...
My neuro told me to take it only when I was in extreme pain, and only take it at night, and only the 300mg. At night not a big deal, but it was explained to me that gabapentin is not a rescue drug...
Since I seem to be going undiagnosed, and I've been after answers since September, I've of course joined here as well as started doing lots of my own research online. I obviously know I am not a...
I had my appointment with the university last Monday, and I was inadvertently sent to a back and spine specialist. On one hand we didn't really get anywhere new, on the other we found out that my...
The mental and emotional desire is still there. The physical is less since this started which is a complete 180 for me. Its odd as a woman to have had the drive of a 13 year old boy who just...
I do plan on keeping up with my list and expanding on it, thank you Sunny13 for the extra ideas for the list! The first list I had was just symptoms because I was having a hard time keeping track of...
I have to walk nearly every day, and that sends me into tears most of the time and end up hobbling for hour(s). My best is a stupid little video game that's mostly numbers and crime shows and the...
Wow, I am so sorry you've been put into the position you're in. Can you see a different doctor about the surgery? I could be completely off here, but I have known a few people that after a surgery,...
One more week before I go to the university, but my patience is running thin. The number of symptoms are growing, along with the pain. I just started a line of supplements, and have some on hold...
I know that the other two meds while will interact with it won't do anything harmful, just increase the weird feeling, I just didn't expect to feel like that all day. Honestly it hasn't helped enough...
Asking this because I'm trying to figure out if symptoms are worsening or if its just the Gabapentin. Does anyone else experience an extreme fog and sleepiness after it should be worn off? I'm only...
Beachbum, I hope you get in or at least a date soon. From what I understand it can take a long time to get in. Ya a month is pretty rough, but its better than indefinite or longer. AngMichelle, no...
Freaking a-men Alcie! That was the only thing my neurologist could offer was planting the idea this was all psychosomatic. A friend today said something to me that felt sort of empowering. I'm going...
Yeah honestly I'm surprised as well. We live in a very small area surrounded by other small areas, so everyone goes to Iowa City for everything. I'm not sure what tests they will run when I go up or...
So my doctor is sending me to the university here. His suggestion, not mine. I'm looking forward to it, scared but all the same happy, but I won't be able to go for another month....
All I can tell you is, stand your ground. Don't let them tell you that its nothing based on your age. I'm currently pursuing my doctor to try to find out what's happening with my pain (I'm 30, and...
A good doctor it seems these days are worth their weight in gold. I've had some bad ones in the past and some great ones. Sometimes I wish I could move back to Reno just so I could have my doctor...
Yes all this stuff is going down into a notebook, but I still have fingers crossed for tomorrow. Unfortunately I don't have a back up. I know that if things get much worse my husband can probably go...
Mine is in my nerves so far, but undiagnosed. On a good day I am a 6, a bad day, a nine with spasms between those two. I was on muscle relaxers which did nothing, but so far my biggest help and...
Yeah, my neuro is about as useful as a blankity on your elbow.. and I had not considered seeing a rheumatologist. That's another I can bring up as well. This whole thing has come on so fast. The...
I'm going through similar right now, undiagnosed pain, and these folks here have given me ideas on how to move forward if my next appointment is another bust. My neurologist seriously threw his hands...
Oh I apologize, I've had a thread going in chronic pain, but someone suggested I ask about the SED rate here. The symptoms I've had that don't line up completely are pins and needles in fingers and...
There ought to be some sort of service for sure. Most places do offer some assistance in that regard, but I am also speaking from a point of view from coming from a larger town. I now live in a much...
I really do want to say thank you guys so much for taking the time to read and respond. Overall I know it hasn't been that long that I've been dealing with this, but I am already seeing the effects...
