Hi Karen. I am about to email you with my info. Thanks so much for the help and support. Bonita...
HI Karenjayne. Thanks for the response. I have been trying to look you up on Facebook but can't find the picture you described. May I ask where you're from? Maybe I can find you that way....
Karenjayne, thanks for posting about Kadian. I, too, have tried everything with no success. I am seeing a new dr in December and I will ask about trying this. I am at my wits end. I've been in so...
Ladies, Even though we're done with cold weather here we're still having plenty of rain and thunderstorms. Most days are cloudy and I've not had a 'good' day in a long while. When I'm able, I try to...
Hope that helps......
Hi 3yellwdaisy, I am on neurontin for nerve pain and it has helped me. I no longer experience nerve pain other than the occasional hurt-to-touch tender point or skin pain. However, since I've been on...
Thanks for all replies. Glad to know I'm not alone. I guess its true what they say - misery loves company! Luvzminis, I actually have problems with elastic around the stomach and legs. Bra straps and...
The first thing I do when I get home is strip down to nothing, take a long warm bath, and put on an old favorite housecoat. Since the weather has turned cooler I can now put on my long flannel gown....
Hello Fibro Family, Today is a bad day for me. Pain all over from head to feet. Has anyone ever had days when your underwear (specifically panties) hurts just by touching your skin??? Is this another...
Hi Packy and welcome. Sorry you are not being supported by your partner. I am fortunate that my husband is very supportive. However my friends are a different subject. There is one friend in...
Hi Karen, Wanted to let u know My bed buddys arrived today. I went to several walmarts but couldn't find any. I eventually went online and ordered the body wrap and the joint wraps. Can't wait to get...
Ljm2014, today was not better but tomorrow is another tomorrow. So we get another chance to try again. Hoping it's better for all of us......
Hi guys. Thanks so much for the support. Today has been a day of being able to do very little. Other than the brief walk outside that's been all I've accomplished. My poor sweet husband has has...
Myself 09, thanks for the push. I just came back in from the walk. Couldn't make it too far but I got in a couple laps around the house....
Thank you ak angel. I'm getting there. I just got up and walked through the house. About to get the leash and head outside with BJ (my puppy). I know he will be happy....
I have been laying here thinking about getting up and walk outside around the house. Haven't mustered up the strength or will yet. But I'm working on it. Thanks...
I'm on cymbalta and neurontin also. When I forget mine I have awful nightmares. I was on cymbalta once before for tailbone pain but stopped because my husband got hurt on the job and had to stop...
Today is my second day from the bed to the couch. Hurts so much watching my puppy wanting to play and I can't muster the strength or desire to attend to him. My grands are here to play with him but...
Misspelling- should have been tramadol. My iPad has a mind of its own. At least something around here does. :)...
Thanks Loring for responding. I've been feeling sorry for myself all day. Been on the couch, tired and in pain. Started having facial twitches too (something new). I haven't tried trampoline but will...
Thanks Barb. I'm trying to hang tough. It helps that I finally know what it is. But it's overwhelming knowing it's something I will have to contend with. Hard to swallow that I can't just take a pill...
Hi K. I got through the post. :). Seriously, I do understand so much of what you're going through. I am fairly new here myself and I have found a great deal of comfort through this forum. As you...
Yes it is. Which is what I find myself doing a lot. Glad I found people who can relate....
Thanks for the support and related stories. It does help me knowing I'm not alone and have others who understand. I'm so glad I found this forum....
That is so great Debbie. I wore myself out today mentally, physically, and emotionally. I hope I don't pay for it tomorrow....
Thanks Achey. I'm getting to the place I second guess myself all the time. I'm scaring the heck out of my children. My husband says maybe I need a vacation. I'm inclined to agree. Especially after...
Yes. Very frustrating. I dont look forward to much more of this. There's got to be something to help these symptoms....
Did I mention I don't like this fibro syndrome??? I've also been having what I call senior moments. I totally messed up at work today. I was printing programs for a funeral and messed up all the...
I simply can't believe or understand why one minute I have the worst headache, the next minute my hip is killing me and a few minutes after that my neck and back hurts. Really? :confused:...
Wow Debbie! I never thought of that. I will talk to my dr about it on my follow up visit. Speaking of migraines. I'm coming off one from last night. The migraine is gone but my head feels very tight...
Couchtater that sounds all too familiar. :blush:...
Oh my Achey, I'm glad I live in a small town. I leave home heading somewhere and forget where I'm going. At least on the local streets I can just turn around and go back. No exits to worry about......
Oh my! LOL...
I find this all very interesting. When I heard the term fibro fog. I thought it meant you go around disoriented all day. Now that I see what y'all (yep, from MS) have posted I realized I have had...
I am quite anxious about getting some other type of meds to treat my pain. My doctor has already ordered aquatic therapy. I'm wait on the therapist to receive the orders and get approval from my...
Hey y'all. I'm from the south as well. Really really south. I'm from MS....
You make a good point Mojave. Thanks...
Hi Myself 09', I hope it's not a bug but I'll give it a couple of days to see. I generally have sniffles and runny nose 2 or 3 days out of the week. This nausea reared its head a little over a week...
Karen, I was wondering where I could find one - quick! I have been looking online but was unsure what to get. But now I know. Thanks so much. And thanks for the well wishes. As I always say: It's got...
Thanks so much for responding to me Loring. It really helps to talk to others who understand. Sometimes I feel as though my family and friends are tired of hearing me complain. Anyway, we did have...
Hello fellow fibro sufferers, I don't what is causing it but I am really in pain today. Usually when I wake up I'm pretty stiff and achy but it levels out by noon. Today I woke up in worse pain and...
Thanks for the info Ljm2014...
Thanks Ljm2014. I definitely want to get more information before I 'jump in'. Did the manipulation therapy help you any?...
Nooneknows this is my story every morning. I hit the snooze button 3 times and still find it difficult to get up. When it's time to get up I feel like I just went to sleep. My PCP has instructed me...
Heart, I am comfortable with my PCP also and I really want to stick with her to help me manage my symptoms. She has other patients with Fibro so I am feeling confident with her abilities at this...
Hey Acheybody, I'm not sure about the manipulation therapy. I haven't had it done yet. She said we would probably do on my return visit. I'm kinda nervous about it because I don't know what to expect...
Thanks Michael. I wish they had a magic wand too, especially this weekend. Felt like my pain went all the way to my bones. Thank God for my heating pad......
Thank you jrjenn5. I'm thinking I'm going to stick with her unless things change. She works with Fibro patients and is quite familiar with the syndrome. She also performs manipulation therapy on her...
Lol ak angel. So far this is where I'm getting most of my information. You might be right... Nina...
Thanks everyone. At this point I am pleased with my PCP. I just wanted to make sure I'm with the right type of doctor....
