Hi again everyone! All of this is very insightful information. I did wind up coming off of the Lyrica since my doctor felt it wasn't helping me. I was afraid that it was the cause of some weight gain...
Anyone have them done or had them done? Did they seem to help you? I saw a Pain Management Specialist and he recommended them so I had my first set done on Tuesday for my left side. I go back on Aug...
Acheybody - I take the Lamictal and Saphris for Bipolar Disorder. A diagnosis I got about a year ago that hit me really hard after being told I was just dealing with depression for 13 years. I am...
Thank you again everyone. I saw the Dr on Monday and he still will not give me anything even when I mentioned Tramadol, he said no that I am on so many things already. He suggested we take me off the...
Well, he prescribed me Skelaxin. Which I already have anyway that he gives me and doesn't help. I am at my wit's end. I am so tired of this and doctor's who aren't willing to give you something in...
Thank you all so much for your responses. I will mention the Tramadol to him when I see him on Monday. I am having a horrible flare of my disease right now and just want something to help me at least...
Oh gosh....that is the best way I have found to describe my pain to people who don't understand what I am feeling. So yes, I feel your pain. I feel like that very, very often....
Do any of you take pain medication for your Fibro and if so what do you take and what dosage? I am currently on 600 mg of Lyrica per day and my doctor refuses to give me anything else for pain relief...
Well, I went in for my monthly appointment today and I left on a doubled dose of Lyrica. I am on a low dose he says but I still feel like everytime I leave there my meds have been increased. I did...
Acheybody, I know. I try to keep it all in perspective. It is a daily mental struggle for me I will admit though. I do see a psychiatrist for the first time next week and hopefully that will help me...
Now this is a really good one: Soceraphobia- Fear of parents-in-law or this one is good for today: Sesquipedalophobia- Fear of long words ha ha...
You will just have to find what works for you. It helps me. Like all medical issues, one thing recommended by one doctor may not be by another. And...you could have something totally different than a...
I also wanted to add: As soon as I get the signs of a UTI coming on..(I know it all so well) I have a prescription that I keep on hand and start taking it. I love my doctor for doing this for me. It...
I started in with UTI's about 9 years ago. I get about 2 or 3 per year on average. Now....I was not diagnosed with fibro until July 2009. So, whether or not it was an early symptom of the lingering...
I think the hardest thing for me is that I just don't even understand myself. I know that many of my friends and family are sympathetic but, truly don't understand the pain I feel and live with...
I know that may be a weird question just randomly thrown out there, "Do you suffer from "pins and needles" in your ear?" But, this new symptom is really troubling me. It is something I have never...
I was wondering if I could get a feel for how many of you might have been diagnosed intially with Fibro that later turned out to be MS? I am really beginning to think that what has been diagnosed for...
Wow, it is unbelievable really when I read posts like this on here or in other forums I belong to. None of my family and friends understand what I mean when I explain my pain to them, how it feels or...
Hi Crystal, I was just diagnosed with Fibro in July of this year so I am very new to it and still coming to terms with my diagnosis. I too have endometriosis and I get recurrent ovarian cysts so I...
I am just making myself sick over this.......I am going to gather all of my documentation together to bring with me to court. Can't hurt to try and show my case anyway. I don't want any of you to...
I have been on Cymbalta since August. I haven't gained any weight but, I haven't lost any either. And I have been trying to loose weight....working out 5 days a week and low calorie intake. So, if I...
I know this is obviously best asked to an atorrney but can't afford one. So, I thought that I might be able to get a few personal exprience stories here. I have a child who is living with her father....
I am new to Fibro and already am so frustrated beyond belief today. I have been having some so-so good day and some bad days but today was a horrible day. My knees, legs, ankles and my ear hurt ALL...
I was told by my Rhuemy that I have a heart murmur yet, I have NEVER been told this before and I have seen SOOO many doctors in the past few years. Is heart murmur related to FM possibly? Do any of...
I told the nurse today that I was 33. She told me my paperwork said I was 34. I wasn't sure which wwas right, me or the paperwork I had done previously. I had to ask my hubby. I hate bad days when...
Wow, I am newly diagnosed but never even considered that my tooth sensitivity could be related to all of my other issues. I work for a dentist and swear I have a cavity here or there but,...
Hi Everyone, Not only am I new here......I am newly diagnosed with Fibro. I have to admit that I feel some sort of relief although I also feel very scared, depressed, overwhelmed and have this...
