Hello Adi and welcome. Yes young, I was 20 when my gallbladder was removed. I have read several times lately during research that Thyroid problems can also cause elevated liver enzymes. I have...
Oh yes sounds very familiar. We live with different types, levels, and areas of pain everday and it can be terrible, but I have never felt so emotional, frustrated, and helpless as when the...
We all know we need to pace ourselves, but the problem is those of us that have to work Don't have the luxury to slow down and destress when we feel a flare coming on.....or it is the main cause. I...
I know with a new job you have to deal with the 90 day probation period. Can you get a note from a doc for a few days off just to stop the cycle and rest. Being tired and stressed is so bad and I'm...
Wow, I'm glad you're ok! All of these stories make me afraid to use my pyrex, but does the burner have to be on or could it just be hot to break (or explode) the dish? It sounds like either way can...
Montana mama, I get the flu like aches, sore throat, cloudy head, headache, sinus burning, and general "sick" feeling right before my flares. It's different than a sickness like others get. I also...
Donna, I get a lot of facial pain as well. I guess many of us have face tenderness. You may not tolerate even the best fitted glasses. I hope you can though. I am going to see a neuro specialist in...
Hi Lisa, I believe we with Fibro have many sensitivities and allergies. I have read this many times.....something about neuro mediated response and mast cell hypersensitivity (I really don't...
Many of us have sensitivity to foods, as well as environmental allergies etc. I am allergic to to many grass, trees, molds to name, as well as: Beef dairy Chicken walnuts Shrimp peanuts Soy wheat...
Izzy, Karen is giving great advice about increasing your fluid intake, especially water. Try adding veges and get prune juice and warm it up like tea. Since you don't mind prunes lol. Also try...
Hello all, I'm 40 and have always had heavy periods. A few years ago I started with night sweats. They are better now, but for several years I have been very intolerant to temperature ....hot and...
Hello AK Angel, It got better through the years, but I do have IBS :rolleyes: It acts up if I eat spicy or greasy food. For years after my gallbladder was removed, I would have explosive diarrhea...
Hello all I have been suffering with this type of pain almost constantly for a couple weeks. It's always worse in a flare. The descriptions everyone has used are really accurate. This gnawing bone...
Debbie I hope you're ok. When I'm hurting real bad and I know it has to do with inflammation (like an injury) I take IBU (motrin) as well as norco. Sherrine has good suggestions with cold and heat...
Sherrine, Thanks for the website. I will read it. I don't think it was enough to worry the docs much, but it stayed slightly elevated for 15 years. Back then I used Excedrin, but way under the...
Hello all, I was just thinking back about the one test over the years that has been abnormal....my liver enzymes.They have been abnormal (elevated ) since my early twenties. No hx of abusing my...
Thanks, I just finished reading it over again. I get my combo tabs from my Dr....
Hi all, I'm giving this a try again.....I didn't notice relief last time but maybe I wasn't taking enough. I think we are supposed to take mag/malic acid together. I need to read fibro 101 again. I...
Jodyman, you've probably had tests to rule out nerve damage/involvement that might cause these symptoms???? Gosh what about trigger points (not the same as tender points) like in CMP???? I hope you...
I don't see a need for the rheumy to send you to another pain doc when you have had the same one for 4 years. That seems odd in itself. I feel like you should stick with what works now because we are...
[i]Welcome b2308, I am fairely new myself. I'm glad you found a place to vent. It is a hard pill to swallow, no rhyme or reason for how we will feel from day to day. I have felt like there could be...
Hi mom 23, that sounds kinda similar, but like hopegirl my flares are never exactly the same. The type, length of time, and intensity of symptoms is evef changing. I guess it makes sense because that...
Angelfeather, You are not alone in this dilemma as as you can tell by the response! Many of us don't want to give up our "get togethers", especially for Holidays :smilewinkgrin: I pay the price every...
Hello Well yes...sitting or laying down to long makes my muscles more tight and stiff. I went to eat tonight with friends and sat for 2 hours and when I stood up my thighs and back were tight and...
Hello , I'm new here. I think fibro has something to do with it. After years of sinus/face pain, i have come to believe It's a combo of Fms, all types of allergies, and chronic myofascial pain. Also,...
MissT Since you have been dx'd with Hashimotos, you can go either high or low. More so hyper in the beginning of this autoimmune disease. Later, when your body has killed off most of your thyroid...
