Chutzie, I really appreciate you taking the time to write out these stages. I wanted to agree with the fact that we all have probably experienced thse stages as we learned/are learning how to deal...
I am at a loss for what to tell you. You must be getting frustrated, I feel for you. So, you have tried muliple doctors, maybe try an internal doctor, mine is very good and she works until she finds...
I too have been having the same problems with neck pain, headaches that are caused by the tension in my neck and the middle of my upper back... I have been going the the chiropractor and it feels...
I am with you completely on this one. I HATE being cold. It is like an instant pain causer to me. And everywhere you go, restaurants, stores... it is always terrible. I never leave the house without...
That is what I was told to do to. It seems to work well that way, and sleeping is not a problem any more which is good because I was unable to sleep for a few months before ( caused by my BC). Thanks...
Yesterday my doctor got Lyrica approved through my insurance. This was a big deal because they first denied coverage for it, and at close to 500.00 dollars a bottle, well... you get the idea. I took...
Thanks everyone for your input. Yesterday was hard, I left work one hour early to go home a sleep because I was falling asleep at my desk and just felt awful. I already feel less pain though, it is...
Hello everyone, I hope that today is a good Fibro day!! I started Lyrica yesterday, my side effects started soon after. For the first day I felt great, I actually had energy for a while. I was very...
It is, unfortunate, but good to know that we all experience the same thing. I have always thought it was strange that I felt so bad afterwards. Like you, tyno#, I can sometimes move around a lot and...
Yes, it seems like I just can't get back to reality without some help. Usually my husband will have to help me stand up and have me walk around for a while until I am moving. It really is odd....
I work from 7:30-3:30. Needless to say, I am almost always worn out when I return home. I usually end up falling asleep for an hour or so. The problem is when I wake up I feel terrible. I feellike a...
Thanks Bimki, I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me. I am 24 right now, I have been on BC for about 1 1/2 years, first to treat pain form menstruating, then after I got married, to keep...
My question to all of you today is whether anyone has night sweats every single night? I wake up soaked after just a few hours. I have been having them for about two months now, and haven't had a...
Thank you all so much. It really does make a difference to just talk to people who can relate to you. Yes, I am so blessed to have my husband, he is a strong point in my life, some days he needs to...
Starynight, I have been on birth control for the past year for very similar reasons. I was on Yaz for a while but it didn't work for long, and it also made me feel tired most of the time. I switched...
Hi Beautymom. I just wanted to give you a word of advice. I am assuming the anti-depressant is for anxiety? I am on Lexapro for anxiety. It has done a world of good for me. I also wanted to stay off...
I am the "odd ball out" . /community/emoticons/turn.gif I actually was diagnosed by my GYN. I love my internal doctor but she is hesistant about Fibro. My GYN actaully has had Fibro for meny years so...
I call my sweet cat, Mattie, her "mommy's girl". She is like a cat version of me with all her tummy problems, and ear infections. I really think she has the "kitty version of Fibro"....
Did you injure the painful parts of your body anytime in the Past. I have an old ankle injusry from gymnastics, and sometimes my ankle will just flare, and I will be limping for a few days for no...
Hello to all!! I have lurked around this forum for some time now. Haven't posted because all my time was spent planning my wedding up until last month. Now, with no more planning, I am ready to...
