Has or does anyone here take Tramadol? I was. Now I just went off it and I feel like hell. Withdrawals suck. Don't know what to do to make it easier....
I had to quit taking the medicine. The side effects were very troublesome. I have never heard of narcan...I thought it was naloxone...That is what the nx stands for...I have done some research on the...
Austenfan I totally understandwhat you mean. To answer your question, I find that trying to find enjoyment out of the little things helps me. I try to find something, anything, even if it is small,...
Hello everyone. I know it has been a while since I have been on. I miss you all. Here's a quick update... I am now divorced. I live in a crappy place that I can't have my son at. But hopefully that...
Update: Well, I am trying not to panic. I am having the ultrasound done on the 13th. My sister's birthday, coincidentally...But, anyways. I keep telling myself that I will know more after that. All I...
So...I went to my monthly doctor's appointment Monday. They are going to do another ultrasound on my pelvic area. They are looking for cancer...My doctor told me straight out that that is what they...
So, I went to the doctor today for my monthly appointment. And he went over test results with me that I thought I had understood...But, apparently not. My progesterone and testosterone levels are too...
I live in Indiana. It's freakin COLD here right now too, with all the snow and ice. BRRR! The cold kills me! I wish I was lying on a beach somewhere, where it's like 78 degrees and sunny with a light...
I have tried Chantix, and it didn't work for me. I have also been on Wellbutrin, same problem. It just didn't work. So, I am trying to quit on my own, but that isn't that easy. It's hard to quit. For...
Thank you everyone. AK Angel- How do you manage without pain pills? I will admit that I am very dependent on mine. And I hate it. But I feel like I cannot function without them. And, to be perfectly...
I am 23 as well. I understand how you are feeling. I have been dealing with this since 2008. I have no job. I have a four year old son that I cannot keep up with. I am constantly tired and in pain....
Before the end of last year, I posted that I was having a CT scan done on my abdomen and pelvic areas. Well, the results are in, and instead of answers, I got more questions... The test did not show...

I am so sorry to hear that you are having more issues. For the inflammation, have you tried something like Ibuprofen or Naproxen? Also, if you don't have a bed buddy, I suggest you get one. They can...
Yeah, my little boy really is getting big. He turned 4 this past October. It's hard for me to believe. But it's hard to be the kind of mom I want to be because of never feeling well. It breaks my...
AcheyBody...I can totally relate with your mini vacations. When I am really stressed I love to just take a drive with my Pepsi or coffee and my radio blaring and not how bad my singing is because no...
It's been quite some time since I have posted anything on here. It has been a very busy and stressful year for me. I hope the new year brings peace and happiness, but, I guess I will find out when it...
I got this new vitamin that has actually been helping with my pain. I saw it at CVS while I was waiting for a presciption. One the bottle, the label is "New Temporary Fibromyalgia Pain and Discomfort...
I have never tried methadone. I would have to drive about 30 mins each way to get to the methadone clinic, and I don't have the money for that. My sister takes it and it is a huge help to her. She...
Hello Busymum. Welcome to our forum. It sounds like you definitely need a new doctor. your doctor is so sure of herself, then tell her you want to see a rheumatologist and that if she is so sure she...
Why would you be taking both an opiate and an opiate inhibitor??? No offense, but that makes no sense. Anyways, I am taking Suboxone to help with the pain while getting off pain pills. I build up too...
Suboxone is works like a narcotic in a way...it does help with pain. But it also has something in it that blocks other meds, like opiates and benzos, and keeps them from working. So if I were to take...
This disease is very frustrating, especially around the holidays. There are so many expectations around the holidays. And you feel badly when you can't meet them. But, you have to take care of you....
Went to the doctor yesterday because I have had four visits from Aunt Flo in the past two months. I decided I didn't want to be on my pain pills, and I told my doctor. He set up an appointment with...
Omega 3 fish oil helps??? I have never tried it, but I am willing to try anything to help with the pain. I am very dependant on my pain pills. I hate having to take them, but, at the same time, they...
I would go to google and type in something about what congestion drugs are safe to take with Cymbalta. I used to take that, but I never used anything for congestion with it. But, I used lortabs for...
All of us have been where you are at. The thing with me is that sometimes my family understands a little too well. Here's an example to show you what I mean. My mom goes on a hiking trip with the...
I have an appointment in a little over a week. If things get worse, I will try to get in sooner, but, for now, I am just trying to hang in there. And I'm praying this next week goes by quickly. I...
Potassium pills are the one pills I have a really hard time taking. They taste so nasty and are pretty big. But, then again, I've only had them in the hospital after spending hours puking. Not the...
I know what you are talking about. One time, I had talked to my husband on the phone and then laid down for about 20 mins. Well, I had fallen asleep, so when he called my name, I jumped out of bed,...
I was diagnosed with fibro two years ago. But now I am considering there being something else going on. I understand where you are coming from. I am on a lot of different medications, and I wish I...
I am definitely going to talk to my doctor about seeing a cardiologist. Today, my heat has been doing this weird beating. It's like it's beating hard and fast and maybe even skipping a beat every now...
Thanks Mom and Dagger. I am going to do what I can to get to the bottom of this. My doc is pretty good about referrals if I ask for them, usually. My blackouts are weird because I can hear everything...
Good luck Robin! Keep us posted on what is going on....
I will definitely keep you guys posted....
In order to see a neurologist and cardiologist, I would have to get a referral from my doctor. I don't know if I will be able to get one. But I'll try....
By blackouts, I mean that I pass out kind of...it's hard to explain. It's like I know what is going on around me, but I can't respond. I can't even open my eyes. The last time this happened to me,...
Ok. Something is definitely wrong with me. I know that some of these things could be fibro related, but recently I have been thinking that maybe I don't have fibro at all, maybe I have something...
/community/emoticons/smilewinkgrin.gif I laughed so hard at this. I am going to have to show my husband this one!...
Austen, I am glad to hear that you are not dealing with something serious. That is encouraging. I do pray that they are able to find the cause of your bothersome symptoms. I wish you the best of...
My grandmother was on Lipitor. It caused her a lot of pain. She had to take both methadone and lortabs to deal with the pain, but she was very sensitive to those meds. Now that she is off the...
The thing about my Lyrica is that I need a higher dose now, but when I was on a higher dose before, it made me feel really suicidal, so I had to go back down in the dosage. I have read info on...
Right now I am taking Lyrica, and it helps a little bit. But I have heard some people say that Savella is better? I could use some opinions. I have a doctor's appointment in just over a week....
I appreciate all the support from you guys. I have dealt with depression since I was about 13. But they aren't looking back that far. They are only going back two years. And I have learned how to...
Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry to meet you under these circumstances. But you are right. We can relate. I know how you feel. I have a three year-old son. He only weighs about 30lbs (because he...
I am sorry that you are going through this, hon. But I understand. I mean, I don't actually get much actual exercising done, but chasing after my three year-old son gives me exercise. I think you may...
My doctor gave me a script for Vit D. I never got it filled. I never thought it relevant. I might have a full work up done when I see my doc in two weeks. I want an arthritis test done anyways. Has...
I just don't know if I can go through with this. I mean, I have the name of a good lawyer. I haven't contacted him yet. The only real doctor's visits I have unless I am really sick are the monthly...
So, I got a letter in the mail from Social Security today. They denied my appeal. I was hoping they would approve me. Now, they want me to file another appeal and go before a judge. I don't know if I...
I hope you get it all figured out. I will pray for you. The only time I have felt really weird in some way kind of like this is when I have dye injected into me for contrast CT scans....
