I was dx'd with PsA a few months ago. I have a mild case on elbows and palms. How are the knuckles closest to the finger nails? They hurt? It effects my right elbow a lot! I had to see a Dermie for...
I saw this and let out a loud OMG.. me too!! BUT.. I have not received an official Lupus dx. This breast pain is usually in my left breast and does seem to come from my underarm and into the tissue...
I've read through the introduction of Lupus and really am still lost. I was tested for Lupus and it was found negative BUT.. I have been getting these welt like liaisons on my cheek bones and it...
My palms are always red.. Sometimes Scarlett! But never swollen. I have no idea what causes this and in my searches I can only see Liver problems for that but have nothing wrong with my Liver. Let me...
OMG.. if anyone ever did that crap to me or my daughter I would be cackling like a wet hen! They probably billed the insurance for half a day for that damn bed now get double for kicking you out and...
Is it nerve pain or muscle pain? or both. I started this with nerve pain going down my neck and into my left shoulder and arm and into my left breast. First thing he gave me was a steroid and...
I agree it is probably Fibro and the 101 section is a great post for lots of information. There is no way a doc does everything but should have sent you for blood work in the very least Sorry your...
Well happy you were able to pop in and send us a note. My brain doesn't let me remember too many things short term so knew I had something to look for just couldn't for the life of me remember what.....
I only had a few in my neck and shoulders.. Not nearly enough for a dx of Fibro. But have it I do. Course.. they didn't do this test until I was already on Savella. I felt no pain for some reason....
I quit every night.. :) Really though let me know how those ecigs work.. I'm interested....
Great.. now I have yet another song stuck in my head. Glad to hear everything came out alright though. I was tested a month ago.. they found a Hiatal Hernia.. some enlarged folds and the bottom of my...
Similar to a date rape drug.. hmmm. Love the way they would think I would sell my meds. That's pretty insulting.....
I went right from Savella to LDN. .didn't have to titrate off. Savella worked very well for my pain as well.. Simvastatin and Savella together though almost killed me. Many people have that very same...
Welcome Stacy! I'm sure you will enjoy the forum. Totally understand the work issues. :)...
Why from a compounding pharmacy? What are they using for a filler? What else is she on if anything? Lots to look at really. Vit D isn't really known to cause leg pain and if it is I haven't landed on...
Sciatica?...
GIRL BABY.. Think we should all put our bets in now.. For my son.. I expanded out the sides.. For my daughter I expanded out the front! Baby bumps are always cute. I was at my best pregnant but tests...
I did have severe pain in my tail bone and it still comes up once in awhile. Relieving bowels relieved the pressure. Don't know why but it helped....
Wow it seems like the simple falls create the most damage. Had a lady at work that slid on the dew grass in her yard one morning and twisted her ankle.. seems it broke in three places. I sure hope...
Oh.. you will feel much better.. I sure did! They wanted me home for three weeks and failed to tell me that and I went back to work after three days lol. Boy was he mad.. Take what you need. Just no...
Hey Cathy, Glad you joined ! This is a nice group here. :)...
haha took about 7 times for me to get this down right.. But yeah.. the first time the Lab ran through the entire house.. My purse was hanging on the chair. We had this smell in our sinuses and really...
You very welcome James and hope it works. Sometimes I have to back up and remember that different people think differently. Some pay attention to voice, Some with written text, and Some with...
Well I have to say that most of the smell is gone just using Dawn and boiling Vinegar. Now only the bathroom smells and I have washed the tub/shower and everything else down in there. Thinking the...
WHY do we keep these creatures around?? hmm? They stink like no other stink and you can't get rid of it. I've used Dawn because that's what they use on the wild life during Oil Leaks. And Vinegar.....
Ok. never had one of these done.. but. do you guys actually fall asleep? I mean.. if I knew someone was watching me.. I couldn't sleep!!...
I didn't hear the first part of this but caught on from what you wrote. Happy he is going home and hopefully this vest will do the trick. Do they want to do the Caths for sure?...
My insurance changed and wasn't covering it.. so switched to LDN. I would have stayed on it if it still covered it. But in a way.. I'm kinda glad it did. I was having an internal furnace problem.. I...
I tried Tigers Balm and it didn't work all to great. For those that like Biofreeze you might want to look into these too.. PERFORM (from the makers of Biofreeze) Natural Menthol (didn't work all that...
15 hrs one way huh? Pillows, Baby Wipes to cool your neck and brow. I have to put a towel in the window if the sun is hitting on my side. Leave room in the back seat so that you can lay down if you...
Wasn't on both was only on Savella. It took a month and a half for the pain to totally go away. For me Savella took not only the pain away but I could Shovel and use a Pick Axe and do the gardening...
Ooooh.. I went through many years of that when I was younger. First noticed that I couldn't wear jeans anymore because the fabric hurt my skin. Bra's hurt, Sweaters killed me. I switched to dresses...
Ya know.. I thought the Paprika was a big BLEH! in the title and open this thread to you all really grossing me out lol.. Cumin and Red Peppers? Ohhh.. I would be dying for sure! I stash the Red...
LDN is Naltrexone in Low Dose and I just had a big reply here that went poof cause I still get brain farts!! Anyway.. LDN is starting to be used more regularly with MS.. and was used as a way to get...
Were you worried there were ghosts in the house? lol.. That's great you got an appointment.. make sure you have your list ready. First appointment should be a long one and lots of moving joints...
There are times I could have really used a cane. The pain in my elbows tells me there is no way and don't bother. There are times I wish I had a scooter.. but not enough times to purchase one and the...
Is there a reason you are going to that specific clinic? Can you change clinics? Do you have a significant other you can bring with you? Parent? Someone else? I ask that because sometimes it is...
Low dose is anything under 20mg I believe. Could be wrong.. LDN is used for the pain from Fibro. It actually did more for me than Savella did energy wise. There are a lot that can't even take Savella...
Sounds like it could be a reaction to the medicine or the combo of meds your on more so because it increased with the dosage. Happy you made a doc appointment though... That is not a "I can deal with...
Truthfully? I changed my meds.. from Savella to Low Dose Naltrexone. I have lots of energy and even more so by adding DL-Phenylalanine which is a supplement. I take one in the morning and another...
So no Cholesterol meds at all? I have always been light at sweating until the last two years! Then found I was not only sweating but sweating only from my rib cage area to the nap of my neck. My...
It's expensive at my Jewel and comes in packets. Something like 22.00 but if you have a Trader Joes its something like 5 dollars a bottle. I think you would be buying just as many bottles as the...
I think Verizon is pushing updates or something because all of a sudden my phone was saying that it was trying to find service for a couple of days. Or a week....
Oooh do I agree with the Simvastatin statement. That did a number on me with internal heat and I think it caused me to get a irregular sinus rythm.. My medication is working really well for me. What...
Hello Elemental Fire Just want to add to the above cause it's all great advice.. I added Tart Cherry Juice which should help with sleep(has natural melatonin) and may also help with Arthritis issues....
Uhhh.. they should at least do the x-rays and blood eval.. The insurance requires that they do the Points test every time? Insurance is dictating to doctors how to diagnose their patients? I know...
Well I too thought all the symptoms pointed to that and so did my PCP. I do have a lesion but that's it.. During my search and I didn't save it but found that some of the Autopsies they do consisted...
So glad it didn't make you sick.. My mother in-law was given those too (turbans).. She said they made her head hot.. :) She was a very feisty woman and didn't care at that point who saw what lol. I...
It's vicodin for me for the first day of and the day after. Then it's 800mg of Ibuprofen. Sorry your in such pain. make sure you try not to sleep on that side.. Might hurt worse. :(...
I agree,, pain is pain :) he/she should do the pressure points probably first time there. It's easy enough to do. Good luck with your appointment.....
