Thank you all for responding. I have been looking up a lot of the ADA info, but I guess I just need to speak to m Dr when I see her soon. I spent today home from work bc this AM I had trouble sitting...
I don't remember if Ive posted on this part of the board before, but I do sometimes post on the Fibro section. I was just wondering if anyone else has Fibro and all the other issues I have (major car...
I would also ask your GP about Fibro -it can't hurt for him to check it out. I would also complain about the Dr that he sent you too. Some Doc's don't personally know the other Doc's they refer to,...
Its is defintly not you!! I even spoke to my Dr bc they only consisent thing was the weather to account for my increase in pain. I have issues with rain, and humidty. But, I am suprised to learn that...
Hi, Soon after the car accident that started all of this pain and the rollercaoster Im now on, my lawyer requested that I get an "impairment study". I was found to be impaired, and I believe that the...
I get this symptom too and putting my feet into cold(ish) water seems to help me some. If you happen to live near any body of water, I've found that wading in the lake seems to calm the burning (but...
My blood pressure has been fairly well regulated by meds, but just within the past 2 weeks has begun to spike. The most recent reading that I had was 149/116 - at the dentist office for just a...
I know it's been a while since Ive posted, but I finally am beginning to feel better! Went though the whole deal of not being able to remember anything (still issues with that, but not as bad),...
I too feel like my legs are full of pins and needles! I sometimes get woken up (from the little amt. of sleep that I can get) by my leg pain and that allover static type feeling. And I thought it was...
I heard from the scheduler at the Pain Mgmt. Doc's office - they called to try to set up an appointment. I was at work when they called, but Im going to make some time for a phone call back to her,...
Thank you Karen, for your insight into what I may expect during my 1st pain mgmt. appointment. Guess I'll have to wait and see as they havent even called to let me know they got the referral. A few...
I finally got to meet with my Doc and am being referred to a pain mgmt. Doc. What should I expect on my 1st visit with him/her?...
Hi Tina, I do take neurontin for my neve pain, and I was taking lyrica before that. I also have msucle relaxers, but I still have pain thats making it hard to even walk somedays. I've asked around to...
Thank you everyone for your knowledge about this. I was worried that Id have to stop seeing my Rhuemy once I was seen by a pain mgmt Dr - and also thinking about how tough it may be to switch back,...
I have been seeing a Rhuem. for a few months now, but I still have a lot of pain. I have some days where I have to hobble around bc my feet and legs hurt so much, and other times, at night - where I...
Hello Everyone! Im pretty new to this board, but I have checked out the fibro. section. I guess Im not quite sure where I shoud be posting due to my "situation". I hae been diagnosed w/ fibro, but I...
Im sorry to hear of about your high level of pain thats returned to your arm. I know nothing about your "story" so I wouldnt even begin to guess what you've already tried. I can, however, comiseriate...
Hi Sherrine! Thank you for the warm welcome, and I have started to read the Fibro 101 post, but I seem to get distracted or I have to get up and move bc of the stiffness. I believe at Ive tried...
Im am currently taking 700 mg's of neurontin and 5 flexerils/day, but this combo isn't helping much. I was on lyrica and found that it was even less helpfull. I've been trying to stay active by...
I can 100% relate to what you just posted! I do think that its the fibro fog bc Ive done the same thing....
I take 600mg of neutrin and flexril, but have found that they help some - but not enough. I do have some issues w/ my spine and cord (fusion at the C5-C7 area w/ 2 discs removed due to rupture- 6...
I work a full tiem job - but I have extremely flexible hours and have FMLA (so I can take time off when Im in too much pain to work). Im a social worker and I counsel children who have been victims...
I am so sorry to hear this! I am new here, and have no idea anything about you, or your family - but don't count out how much having someone to talk to helps (counselor,friend, family member). I hope...
I have a lot of pain in my feet, legs and hands. I do get headaches when my shoulders and neck decide to join the party of pain - but this may be more due to the surgeries Ive had to repair the spine...
I apologize in advance if this post is in the wrong spot - but I'm brand new and am just beginning to navigate this forum. My question is: what meds have ppl found helpful for pain that feels like...
