Good morning fibromites, Has anyone tried Emu oil. Either the pain spray or lotion or even the capsules? Thanks, /community/emoticons/turn.gif ...
Hi all, I am posting this here because noone answers your posts on the GERD forum. I was hoping someone here could help me, not that I hope someone has this, but just the same, I'm desparate because...
Just hang in there. I went through all the hoopla to get pregnant, for 2 years. It is very stressfull and it puts a lot of pressure on you to perform as well. I thought the same thing, I'm not meant...
Philly, I would wait and see how it is and then if you think they need to know, mention it. Try taking deep breaths and tell yourself you will do great!! You go girl!!!!!! Good luck!...
Hi all, I have had GERD for 3 years and I take the PPI Protonix 2/day. I just had another upper-endoscopy and now they say I have reflux esophugitis. Is this the next step? How bad is this? The drs....
I get Botox shots(13 of them) every 3 months. I also need trigger point injections(5) in my neck & shoulders. They work right away and relieve most of the pain. I think the ijection is Marcane....

I was at Target the other day, and I was chatting with the check-out gal, paid and walked out of the store with nothing. It was still there when I went back. It was most definetley fibro fog that...
Thank you guys, I really had forgotten about it because at the time I was having 3 hip surgerys. I think my regular dr. should have reminded me perhaps. I will call and schedule it next week....
I need to vent. I could post this on the GERD forum, but they never reply to anything. So here goes. Yesterday I had an endoscopy and the dr was the worst. She came in, introduced herself, and...
If I were you I'd go shopping...
Hi Neeters and welcome. I sure no how you are feeling right now, been there done that. Yes, it is good to finally have a dx. When I got mine, I was in denial for quite awhile. You will get past it,...
I saw a post yesterday regarding Handicap aides. I was using one at Target and I accidently went forward when I thought I was backing up. I went roaring into all the bras and panties and got all...
I can comisserate with you. My shoulders have been the worst ever for the last 6 weeks. Heres to whining /community/emoticons/wink.gif ...
I also have handicap parking. All I remember is I was so depressed when I got it. It was before my hip surgery and I really needed it, but refused to. For about a week-LOL. Unfortunately, it is a...
Oh Bella, I feel your indecision. I know about traveling like that. I don't suppose you could fly 1st class for at least the longest leg? Pain meds are going to be real important, as long as you...
Hi Lubylu, welcome t0 fibroland, sorry you need to be here. I would ask for something to relieve your pain. The pains will come & go, but sometimes it needs a little push Here's a big...
I also have the pain aaaaaaalllllllllll the time, and I also got a whiplash 7 years ago. In fact, that started my fibro flare big time. I have never been the same since....
Well its sort of a good news, bad news. I have had it for 10 years now. The first time it was absolutely horrible. The pain and itching. My dermotologist put me on a high dose of prednisone. about 6...
I do quite a bit of computer work at home. I sometimes have to wear my wrist brace. However, my pain dr said to be very aware of how my arm was sitting. Putting pressure on the forearm can also cause...
Danielle, sorry I spelt your name wrong. It must be habit, since Daniel is my husband. Forgive me?...
Hey Daniel I have lichen planus also. I thought I was the only one. How is doing for you?...
I drink coffee every morning and sometimes I will have a sprite in the afternoon. I haven't noticed and connection with my flare ups. It always effects people differently....
I no exactly what you are talking about. I call them the heebie jeebies. I hate it! I too have tried everything and I finally learned there is nothing I can do. Just let them run its course.LOL...
I am so happy for you!! /community/emoticons/cool.gif Being a temp is a great idea. As you say, you can try different jobs and see what suits you best. And going to school, wow! I was temping, and...
I have had fibro since my teens(I'm 51) and back then fibro was never mentioned. My dr. at the time was wonderful. He tested me for everything and it was all normal. He really thought I had lupus. I...
My son & daughter were on ritalin and after a while they switched to adderall and it made a big difference for them. My brother was super hyper when he was young. The dr put him on ritalin to calm...
I have to say that you hit the nail on the head. I was dx 6 yrs ago and I am so angry at times I could spit. I wonder a lot too, "why me". Between my husband and me we have had 11 surgeries in 4...
Hi all, I need some feedback. I will make this as short as I can. I was having a lot of pain ALL over, and fibromyalgia was always a thought, but one thing led to another and I ended up having an...
Hi, I take vicodin about every 4 hrs, oxycodone every six hrs for breakthru pain and flexril 3 times a day. Before my hip was replaced I also needed a fentanyl patch. So, that said, I don't like to...
Hi Sherri, and welcome. If you can do it, try to stick it out. I too have been taking vicodin for about 5 yrs. I have been taking Lyrica for 4 yrs. I have a lot of pain ALL the time. I also take...
Hi Lefty, I take ambien every night along with other sleep aids as well. Its only when I awake during the night that I am groggy in the a.m., otherwise I actually feel good. Sorry to hear you are...
OMG Alice! How scary. I am glad you are here today with us. It is ironic how it takes something like that to really appreciate our life. Enjoy life to its fullest....
this is my story exactly! I have been seeing a PMR(pain, medicine rehabilitation) dr. I have been getting botox injections but I'm not 100% positive they work yet, I have had 3 rounds of injections....
Kitt , could you read the reply I sent to Zadi and tell me what you think?...
Hi Zadi, how are you doing now? I am usually on the fibro forum. I have gerd and in the past year I too have been coughing up a lot of mucous. In the morning its mucous and bile and it can really...
Does anyone ever wake up in the morning with a mouth full of Bile?...
My husband has bowel spasms and his dr. put him hyomax. Its a pill you put under your tongue. Good luck!...
Hi Painter, Welcome home! I think it will be refreshing to hear how many of us cope. You will soon realize, you are not alone. I do not work. I haven't worked since 98. I am always amazed that some...
Hi Jenny, /community/emoticons/smile.gif Welcome to fibroland, I think you are going to love it here. We are fibromites, in a community where everyone understands each other. I don't have any cycle...

The heat & humidity don't seem to bother me. I sweat so much anyway I never know where it comes from. The cold really bothers me, I shouldn't be living in MN. I can't do all the things I used to,...
Nice to meet you, and Boot. I hear you loud and clear with this one. When I get like this, and it happens, I would crawl right back to bed with my heating pads and try to relax everything. Start at...
I have been taking welbutrin for years with no side effects. It does nothing for pain however. I guess I must be really depressed cuz I also take lexapro. For depression, lexapro is the 1st one that...
I am always amazed when I read stories like this, because I couldn't imagine getting up for work much less going there and trying to accomplish something. I know about the bruising feeling, I'm going...
I hear you, and I feel for you. Welcome to the one place that everyone knows just how you feel. I joined 2 weeks ago, and its the best thing I did. It sounds like you've got it all, and with five...
Sore-e(cute) to hear about your woes. You get sympathy by the bucket loads from me. When I would get mouth sores it was always lichen planus, so I can't help much there. In Mexico, they have great...
