I had something strange happen to me last night for the first time and would like to know if anyone has experienced this. I got up out of my chair and the bottom of my feet hurt so bad that it was...
I am new here and I was told I have IBS over a year ago but I haven't paid much attention to it because I have always been constipated and I have so much other stuff with my fibromyalgia and chronic...
Vannie I have the same problems with clothing and noise. Also light sensitive. This is one strange disorder....
thanks you so much for the response. I told my husband that I knew I could count on the people here to give me an honest opinion. I knew it sounded too good to be true but I let it get my hopes up...
I take it too when I am feeling expecially sore or tight. I have found for me though that when I take it with my pain meds at night it keeps me awake....
I am just wondering if anyone has tried Nkken. I have been approached about their products but I am gun shy of anyone that says they can "cure fibromyalgia". I am afraid of trying something and...
Ivey - I love your one-liners. I think the kindergarten one fits my style the best. I will be using it I'm sure. Thanks...
gettingby - Great advise ! I know that I still have this silly feeling of guilt for having this disease. Don't ask me why. I know you are right and that I don't have to explain it to anyone. My...
I got a call from a family member the other night and he has a product that he wants me to try for my fibro pain. I appreciate my family wanting to help me feel less pain and welcome suggestions from...
My husband said that I used to act ""seizure-like" when I was sleeping. My doc refered me to have a sleep test and I have sleep apnea. Since I started using a CPAP machine when I sleep I no longer...
I have a thick square of memory foam that I cover and put on the floor when I am traveling. I take my shoes off and rest my feet on the foam. It helps a lot with the road vibration....
I was on Lyrica for about 5 weeks. The twitching started the first part of the second week. By the time I had numerous other symptoms, (brain fog, extreme fatigue, poor balance, plus some) and...
Okay - here goes! I have been cleaning house the last couple of days so, needless to say, I got up this morning hurting more than normal. So, I thought I would do something nice for myself and go get...
Debbie - Wow! What an accomplishment. I hope you feel great tomorrow, but no matter what, you can look back on today and pat yourself on the back. Edie...
Hi! I know this is pretty old, but I said I would let you know what I found out about the pain in my right knee. I have a "big" tear in the cartlidge. I am scheduled for surgery the day before...
Thank you for all the responses. I will tell my doc about it the next time I see him, I will try a different soap, and I will pray for it to go away. /community/emoticons/yeah.gif ...
Krista - I was on Lyrica for four weeks and was light headed, sleepy all the time, low blood pressure, a zombie actually. It took me 3 months to get it out of my sytem. The side effects were so bad...
I am new here also, but i wanted to take a minute to welcome you and tell you that you are in a very good place. The people here are very supportive and friendly. I'm sorry you're having such a rough...
Thanks Donna - I didn't even think about it being from medications....
/community/emoticons/rolleyes.gif This is embarrassing, but I smell like vinegar when I sweat (especially under my breasts). Has anyone heard of this or know why and/or what I can do about it?...
Sherrine - I think I would rather leave this open. I had no idea I would such an eye opening. I think maybe I was led to this site for some very special reasons. GSDgirl - I am sorry you lost your...
The more I read all your responses the more I realize that although I said I did not want to make this about losing my son, maybe that's exactly what it is about. I not only got fibro but I get sick...
mrsppm - The shaking is what happened to me! I was shaking so hard I could not even hold onto anything and it went on for a couple of years. When the fibro set in, it got worse for a while and now I...
Thank you so much for your compassion. I do believe that extreme emotional trauma played a large part in me getting fibromyalgia. I think the main reason I wanted to ask the question here is because...
This may bet a little long so I will apologize before I even start. I have heard and read that many people who have fibro have had a serious car accident, serious surgery of some other severe...
/community/emoticons/tongue.gif This one I have to respond to. I not only forget what I am looking for but I also forget how to get where I am going. One time I put my husband's underwear in the...
I said almost the same thing word for word last night. I hope you feel better tonight and I agree with another reply I read - I don't know how you can possibly work even part time. I take my hat off...
Thanks for the reminder. I have a bad habit of just following doctors orders because they know all and I know nothing. haha....
/community/emoticons/tongue.gif Thank you Shana. I will keep you all posted. I absolutely love this site!!!...
/community/emoticons/smilewinkgrin.gif Thank you so much for all the welcoming posts. I look forward to getting to know as many of you as possible. I wanted to let you all know that I went to the...
I have been diagnosed with fibromalgia since 2005 and i just found out about this site today. I have been reading through the posts and I am so excited! The idea of having a fibro family is very...
