Anyone found any natural supplements that have helped with your anxiety? Thanks in advance, ~Sarah ...
Does anyone here have reactive hypoglycemia? I noticed there isn't a forum for hypoglycemia so I thought I'd ask here. I have some questions if anyone does! Thanks, ~Sarah ...
Does anyone know a good resource to find a good diet plan for hypoglycemia? I have a friend who can't seem to get his under control, no matter how much research he does and things he tries. Thanks....
Thank you Lanie! And no, he isn't. At least he hasn't been diagnosed with it. But his blood sugar gets SO low that he gets confused, agitated, frustrated, etc. We are trying to figure out a good...
Thanks to everyone for your answers! I have now officially been taking it for a week, and I can see some improvement. I missed a dose today and I could feel it! I was told it would be about 3 weeks...
Hey everyone, I am just wondering if this forum would be the best place to ask questions about hypoglycemia? I couldn't find one for that. My boyfriend has just been diagnosed and we need any help...
Has anyone here ever taken D Ribose as a supplement with Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue? I have read some good studies and reviews online, but as always, I love to check with you all as well! Hope...
I didn't get mine til after my fibro diagnosis.......
It's very common I think! I can be SO exhausted that I'm practically falling asleep before I go to bed, but when I go to bed and try to go to sleep, forget it! And as for the dreaming, I tend to...
Hey everyone, I have been taking Synthroid (or actually the generic, levothyroxine) for about a year and a half now. I had my D3 levels checked and they are incredibly low, so I am starting 2000 IUs...
I take Savella and have for over a year now. I've never really had any side effects from it. It helped a lot with my muscle pain at first, but I feel like it is not helping as much anymore. But...
Appetite wise, it could be two things that I can think of right off the top of my head. 1) Get your thyroid checked. When your thyroid is out of whack it can cause many problems, including increased...
Anyone else here in the Northeast? Oh man, I think it's time to move! We've had rain for the past week, and looks like it's going to continue for the next week as well. I think I'm dying! It is...
No problem, that's what we're here for! I understand how expensive things can be, trust me I do! My prescriptions alone (co-pays) are over $300 a month! It's absolutely ridiculous and scary. It's not...
Hi there, Welcome to the group! I too, have fibromyalgia. I also have chronic fatigue syndrome, anxiety, migraines, rls, gerd, tmj, trigeminal neuralgia, and asthma. Although I do not have all the...
I take Requip for my RLS, and I actually haven't noticed any side effects and all, and it definitely helps. I think it's really hard to say what will happen....as everyone reacts differently to...
I have not tried liquid Lexapro but I hated the Lexapro in general! It gave me flu like symptoms and made me feel worse. But, everyone reacts to meds differently.......
I had a cyst once upon a time, but it was actually a brain cyst. The neurologist found it during an MRI. After that they did a CT scan as well. They found it to benign and just something to "keep an...
I just wish I knew something that helped my fatigue more. I have yet to find it. I keep trying things, but I never notice much difference. Some days I wonder if something more is wrong with me, but...
Thank you, Chutz! I will be sending you an email in just a couple of minutes! I think they are awesome! And hahaha about your dog, I have a cat who would help too! ;) -Sarah...
Denita, It is possible that I could increase them. I take sublingual Vitamin D, where one drop is 2,000IUs. So I take 3 of them. My doctor originally only told me to take 2,000IUs but my pharmacist...
I have talked with my wonderful pharmacist about my medications, and he doesn't seem to think they are the cause of this problem, mostly because they are nothing new. This fatigue is getting to me...
Fibro ribbon? Where do we get such things?...
I've used a pill box for years now. Not only to keep track of what I need to take and win, but also because it is so much easier then going through and looking for each pill bottle everytime I need...
Ahhh! Not that I'm glad you have this problem, but I'm glad someone knows what I'm talking about! Makes me feel a bit less crazy! lol I do have bad circulation in my hands and feet, but I'm not sure...
I'm not even sure if that is the right way to say it....but here is my explanation. Lately, I have been getting these itches, like deep itches, that feel more like a nerve thing. Sort of like a nerve...
I can only imagine how frustrating this might be for you...but I do agree that its good that your doctor is trying to be so particular in figuring out what's going on. In response to the Vitamin D...
Heat makes me feel very sick. Like I feel nauseous, weak, tired, etc. Yet, on the opposite end, cold makes me hurt more. I really can't win. Last year my fiance and I had to spring for an one room...
I have severe trouble with memory issues, and I actually posted a topic about it a few days ago entitled "brain function." I've been advised to check and see if my meds are making anything worse. At...
Sorry I'm so full of questions lately, but here is another one for you. My fatigue levels have absolutely insane lately, and I feel like it's screwing with my emotions. I've been more depressed, more...
Any notice problems with their brain function beyond just that of an occasional bout of fibro fog? I can't figure out if it is fibro itself or the combination of all the medicines I take, but my...
I have chronic sinus issues and allergies. Something that helps me some (every bit is good) is Flonase. It's a nasal spray, so it's kind of a pain to take, but if it helps some I'm all for it! There...
Stress can definitely aggravate fibro and cause a flare. I find that whenever I am seriously stressed (like more then usual) my fibro is worse as well. And then of course, when our fibro is bad, we...
Hello, That's interesting that Lyrica has been approved over there for anxiety. I found, personally, that it messed with my moods, especially when trying to come off it. I don't want to worry you by...
Sure, my blog address is: http://sarahbear9708.blogspot.com There is a few off topic entries, but most are about fibro! :) -Sarah...
I'm not in the midwest but I have a headache as well. Pressure changes, rain, etc can all trigger mine. Of course I also have sinus and allergy issues, so that doesn't help. Headaches can be the...
That's a really awesome idea! I really should work on getting a t-shirt, probably late now...but maybe for next year. And thanks, I hope you also have a sun filled painless day!...
Hi everyone, Does anyone have any plans for Fibromyalgia Awareness Day (May 12th)? I'm doing a couple of things. First of all, I am writing a blog post about living life with Fibromyalgia. I am also...
I have dizziness problems, but they usually don't seem to be Fibro related. One of the things that was affecting it was actually my thyroid, as I was not yet being treated for hypothyroidism. The...
Hi Natasha, I have recently started going back to counseling. (I had to stop before due to financial issues.) Luckily, I have found someone who is great at making payment plans with me. AND I really...
Hi everyone, Hope this post finds you all well. I just have a question. I'm trying to find a way to bring in some income since I am having a hard time holding down "regular" jobs. It just gets way...
With me, it depends on the day. On a day when I am feeling "well" and am able to do things more easily, I don't really consider myself sick. But the days when I feel like crap, can't get out of bed,...
Thank you everyone for your responses. The pain was unbearable for a couple of days, but it seems to be getting better. I'm still staying off it as much as possible though, dr's orders. Hopefully...
Hey everyone, Just a quick question for ya'll. I fell on my knee last winter on the ice. For the past year, it has continued to get worse. My MRIs and x-rays are all normal. I had them done last...
I've heard rumors about probiotics helping fibromyalgia and it's symptoms. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks, -Sarah...
Hey everyone, I really just need to talk to you all, to talk to someone who understands. I'm just so very frustrated with life at the moment, and I feel like I am truly going insane. So as you all...
That's great news...so glad things are going better for you! :) -Sarah...
Well, I'm glad I'm not going crazy and it's nothing serious. Ended up at another doctor's office today, and he did bloodwork to check my TSH levels. Hopefully I'll have the results tomorrow. It...
I was on Cymbalta for awhile, and I had the sweating side effect too. It made me crazy! I wasn't on it very long though because it didn't do much for me. I switched to Savella. You know though, I...
Hey everyone, So I've been on Synthroid for about a week now, had no problems til recently. The past couple of days or so, the bottomish of my neck has been swollen and tight feeling. It feels kinda...
