I feel like I struggle all week to get into work, then I don't sleep well...by the time I make it to the weekend, I really don't get to enjoy it because it's catch up time. Not catch up like normal...
Sharon, I do believe that is what kind of headaches I have. It mimic's a migraine. I just can't seem to get relief of it. If the injections work, I'd do them as well....
Susie, Sorry, my head is killing me and I'm at working trying to hang in there... He wants a note from the psychiatrist, and he would have the psychiatrist write the script. He would not do it, but...
Hi, I'm usually in the fibro section, but my headaches are terrible. If I do anything different, sleep on a different pillow, walk up hill instead of a flat hill, dance...you name it, I get these pea...
I’m usually on the fibro boards, but I have anxiety and panic attacks too. They’ve been getting bad again. A lot of stuff going on in my life. So since I am on prescription pain medication, my pain...

I think this is an interesting topic. I wonder about this a lot. Is it that people just have different tolerance for pain, or are there different categories, mild, moderate or severe...I feel that...
[color=blue>I] 8 years ago. I've tried various pain medications, and I finally seemed to have a good fit with fentanyl and oxy for break-thru pain. I did start at the beginning stages at first,...
[color=blue> I usually use my arms if I am not wearing a sleeveless shirt, or my side sort of right above my hip. Sometimes I will have hubby put it on my back, but then I have to remember that I...

Hi Belles, I'm sorry I forgot to mention, I was dx's with Lyme a few years back, had to have a pic line put in for the IV. Did one and a half rounds, then I developed a blood clot, they took the pic...
Oh, I've been dx's with fibro for over 7 years, so I know the difference between the regular flu like feelings, but this is so much worse. I'm afraid they are going to tell me I have mono again. I've...
Hi All, I know I hear people all the time talking about the strange flu like symptoms, I generally to a degree always feel like that. But I'v noticed this is my 3rd time this year, its so much worse,...

Ditto on what Anna Bananna said patch/oxy and yes, there are plenty of times when it's not enough, but compared to the alternative....I'll take it. If I didn't have the patches, I honestly don't know...
Yes, I take round the clock pain med's and I still will suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. Sometimes for no know reason, now though, at least for me, I know what that "strange" feeling that...
Karen, It's the Fentynal patch. I know everyone is different, but if I am not on this, I am crying in bed rocking back and forth. Oh, it's still not pain free, I know that I'm going to always have a...
Hi, Here is my question, I understand that every person is different, and that pain works in different ways on different people, but when I hear that some people can do yoga, and take Advil and...
Just a quick update, it did not go as planned. I got a new script and a paper that said it was pre-authorized, then I went to the pharmacy and got the same old run around. And if it was approved, it...

I'm no stranger to Nuvigil, I was on it for almost 2 years when I was working full time as an Executive Admin, then when I was laid off until I started working again, I had no need for it. (2 years)...
Hi, When I took it, I always had a stuffy nose, that is the only side effect that I noticed, but it bothered me enough to stop taking it. -Monica...
