Thank you so much Neenaaa, I do feel like I need to go see my doctor about this. I know that all pain is not always related to fibromyalgia. Thank you so much for the information. I had read that...

Just wondering if anyone has fibromyalgia pain in the bends of your upper legs, or could this be something else? Thanks in advance, masschaos...

How Does Cymbalta Work? Scientists are not exactly certain how Cymbalta helps makes patients with fibromyalgia feel better; fibromyalgia itself is poorly understood. Many believe the pain is due to...

Thank you Sherrine. I don't know that a rheumatologist would take me without a referral. I guess I could call and find out. I did find a list of doctors who do treat fibromyalgia in my area. I will...

A while back, I went to my PCP and asked him if he believed in fibromyalgia. He said yes and then I told him what all was going on with me. He squeezed my leg just above my knee and asked me if it...

Thank you all for you responses. I have read where sweating is a symptom of fibro. My head is the worst too. I just hate having to worry about it. masschaos...

Thank you for all of your imput. I have not been diagnosed with lupus and don't have many symptoms of it, except joint pain. I do believe I have fibro, but my doctor said I didn't because it didn't...

Imagine my delight, after driving for an hour to a doctor's appointment, for him to say, "You're not suppose to be here until tomorrow. Do you think you could come back?" Geeze, I would have bet...

Some of you may remember my story. I had a colonoscopy and had some pre-cancerous polyps removed and after some research, discovered that Lexapro, Abilify and Wellbutrin all three could possibly...

Ok, so I googled this and found at least one thing it does cause: erythema ab inge or, red from fire. Basicly skin toasting that leads to discoloration. Are there other concerns? masschaos...

littlemama33,IMO, I think you need to set some bounderies with your husband. Having coffee and texting another woman sounds like something that you do not condone. He should not be discussing...

nermada, Wow! It sounds like you have a very busy life! I can't imagine working that many hours and then having teenaged boys to come home to! Good luck at your appointment tomorrow! Keep us updated!...

Saddad, I know you don't understand how she feels because you have not "been in her shoes". She is suffering so bad right now. It is hard to do basic daily things, much less take charge of her...

Good luck to you both. I am sadly cursed with a PCP and Chiropractor who do not "believe" in fibromyalgia. I seem to suffer more and more as time goes on. I have not taken the steps to see another...

Thank you all for taking time to reply to my post. I appreciate your imput so much. There is just so much to consider about going back on the meds. masschaos...

I have posted on the ulcerative colitis forum about this also but I need as much imput as I can get. I have gastritis, colitis and proctitis. Had precancerous polyps removed during a colonoscopy 6...

Thank you for your replies. I end up scaring myself every time I drive anymore. I seem to be distracted and I guess that can be attributed to brain fog. I just don't seem as aware. Riding for a long...

Robin, I certainly understand the part about you not wanting to worry your mother by telling her. My Mom is bedridden and has health issuses of her own. I also suffer from depression and colitis. I...

I was wondering if anyone else suffers from grinding your teeth. I came across this article. http://www.fibromyalgia-symptoms.org/fibromyalgia_bruxism.html Which treatment worked for you? Thanks,...

Council lady, I am so sorry for your loss. masschaos...

Has anyone experienced vaginal numbness associated with fibromyalgia?...

Thanks for the information Sherrine and Kelly. I will research the symptoms further and then decide when and if I will call a rheumatologist. Thanks again, masschaos...

Thanks Marrit, Alice and Crushfibro, I asked him when he walked in the room if he "believed" in fibro. He said yes. He did not do the tender points check. I should have insisted he did it. I am...

Thanks Carlybob, mamanan and Alice. I will certainly keep researching as much as I can. I do need to set up an appointment with my doctor to see if he can set me up with the right specialists. I just...
