I take the generic and the cost went from around $25 to $150 for a 1 month supply :confused: Of course I couldn't pay for it, so I'm now without it. Hoping when I get insurance later this month I can...
I have the same pain on my left side. I brought it up to my rheumatologist a couple weeks ago and she felt to make sure I didn't have any swollen lymph nodes she said everything was ok and it was...
I have gotten the brain zaps before. I usually only get them if I have missed a dose or if I am weaning myself off a med. They are very annoying!...
I took Topamax from May 2009 until November 2009. I was taking it for back pain. It helped tremendously. I did have the no appetite side effect as well as soda tasted flat. It took 3-4 months before...
I'm sorry you have had such a hard time lately. I can completely empathize with you in regards to treatment from the ER. Back in 2009 I became violently ill with vomiting and diarrhea. I would end up...
You may have an intolerance to soy as well as gluten/wheat/dairy. Some friends of mine had recently went vegan and were eating mostly whole foods, but had eaten some soy sausage links and some soy...
Trama Fibro, I take Cymbalta also and there is no way I could afford it (I have no health coverage of any kind, husbands insurance through his work is WAY too expensive and I don't qualify for...
A website I have ordered from before is Vitacost. They have a big GF section and the shipping is reasonable. Some good websites for recipes is House54, glutenhatesme.com, glutenfreegodess,...
I found out I was RH- 21 years ago when I was pregnant with my first child. I was diagnosed with Fibro in May 2009, and Celiac Disease in Oct 2009. Not sure if there is a connection, but it is quite...
I was diagnosed with celiac disease on October of 2009 and fibromyalgia in may of 2010. So for me even after being gluten free for 7 months didnt help with the pain and fatigue. Even now 2 1/2 years...
I recently did some "foggy" things: 1. I was eating yogurt and when I finished I put the empty throw away yogurt container in the sink and put the non-throw away spoon in the trash!! Fortunately I...
I'm just turned 40 a few months back and for about the last six months to a year I've noticed a big change in my period. One month I will be 5 -7 days late then the next month I will be 2-3 days...
We missed the bad storms here in SW Missouri. It rained with thunder and lightening but nothing severe, which we are thankful for. I spent the weekend mostly in bed. I have Celiac Disease along with...
Congratulations!! I'm currently in the loooonnnnggg process of disability. I'm on my 2nd application. The first one went to hearing, which the judge denied it. That was appealed and denied. So now...
A couple years ago I was very sick. Vomitting, diarhea, nausea which lasted for about 8 weeks. I had every test known on almost every body part and everything was fine. I finally ended up at a gastro...
about 2 1/2 years ago I got what I thought was a stomach bug. I had diarhea for about 3 days and then I started vomitting. I ended up in the ER due to severe dehydration. The vomitting came and went...
I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in Oct of 2009, and Fibro in March of 2010. I too take Cymbalta (60 mgs per day). I had severe stomach issues for about 4 months prior to being diagnosed with...
I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease almost 2 years ago. I tend to not say anything about it to people. The only time I will is if I have been invited to eat dinner at someone's house, then I will...
I would think that you just need to give it more time. Also you may have more than one intolerance. You may not be able to handle dairy products. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in October 2009...
Whole grain doesn't always mean whole wheat. There several gluten free grains that they use for products. Brown rice, chia, quinoa, all of these can be considered whole grain and yet are still gluten...
I knew I would get good advice here. I appreciate everyone's advice. I'm glad I asked the question too as I have been trying to figure out what to do for a week now. I will not throw away the...
Thank you for your response. That was the way I was leaning towards, but I had never been in this situation before and wasn't sure what to do. And I figured there was probably someone on the forum...
I need some advice concerning a prescription. I have a GP who prescribes pain meds each month. I have gone to him for over 2 years. I have signed a pain contract with him, however he never has done a...
I take Cymbalta and I suffer from night sweats, especially when it is around that time of the month. I wake up during the night completely soaked. I haven't noticed excessive sweating during the day...
I currently take 60 mgs of Cymbalta daily for fibro/depression. I have noticed an improvement in my depression, but not a real change in my fibro pain. But I've been under a lot of stress the last...
I'm not a breakfast eater and I have to have something on my stomach when I take it, so I take mine at lunch. When I first started taking it, I took it at night, but it gave me such bad night sweats...
I live in Southwest Missouri, about 20 minutes from Joplin where the deadly tornado went through on Sunday. On Monday we found debris in our yard (papers, parts of books, insulation, vinyl siding) I...
The only gluten free cereals that grocery stores in my area sell is the Chex cereal. So I have to go to the health food store to find some. There are some geared towards kids, but they are actually...
I have one for you: We are in the process of getting rid of our propane kitchen stove and replacing with an electric one. Yesterday I mentioned to my husband that maybe we should see if his grandma...
There are so many different symptoms for when you get into gluten. But from what you described, it is exactly what happens to me. Before I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease I had been sick with...
If I get into gluten I get very bloated feeling, very gassy, and my stomach hurts right where your ribs come together just above your stomach. I also hurt behind my belly button. All of this usually...
I have taken topomax a couple years ago. I was given it for back pain. It helped the pain tremendously. But while I was taking it I got really, really sick - vomitting, diarrhea, fever which lasted...
I have celiac disease so I have no choice but to be gluten free. I completely understand what you mean about not having the energy to cook everything from scratch. I try to cook things that we can...
I don't know the answer to your question, but i do know that i was diagnosed with degenerative disk disease before i was diagnosed with fibro. I also have scoliosis, which gives me more pain than the...
I am so glad I found this post. I was dx with fibro back in May 2010 and prior to that noise didn't bother me, but now I am so sensitive to noise. It doesn't even have to be loud. I can be with my...
I was taking Topomax for back pain back in '09. I took it from May until November. By the time November came I had lost almost all of my hair. It was coming out in handfuls in the shower and all...
It could be gluten intolerance. I had pain at the very top of my stomach, where your ribs come together (at the diaphram) and behind my belly button. Gastro dr said that your small intestine is...
I've been gluten-free for about 1 1/2 years now. Was diagnosed with celiac disease after a terrible, terrible 8 weeks of vomitting and diarhea. Anyway, I just purchased Udi's cinnamon & raisin...
I'm right there with ya on the pain today!! I went to bed with a headache last night and woke up with the same headache this morning. I've had an ice pack on my neck and left temple all morning to no...
I love the flowers, the birds singing. I was out today and someone was cutting grass - love that smell!! It is 80 degrees here today and tomorrow!!! I love it. The sun is shining, the trees are...
That is a good idea too. My husband suggested having a "cooking day" one day of the week and cooking all our meals then and putting it in the freezer so I could just thaw it out and voila dinner...
I was diagnosed with celiac in Oct 09 and fibro in May 10. So I've been doing gf for a while. I've just been having a hard time with the fibro lately, lots of pain and fatigue. So I was looking for...
That sounds really good. I'll have to try it. I just got done making 2 loaves of gluten-free bread from scratch. Its been almost 2 months since I've had a sandwich. Boy did it wear me out!! I know...
Does anyone else have fibro and celiac disease? It makes it very difficult to find things to eat. Anyone with celiac knows that you can't just eat whatever you want. You have to avoid gluten. So for...
I live in MO also. I will check into that. There is Access Family here that uses a pay scale so you pay according to your income. I'm just afraid of going to one of those places and them not being...
I've tried amytriptolene in the past. It didn't seem to do much for the pain. It did help me sleep though. Its just so frustrating to not have the dr understand the amount of pain and the financial...
I just started Cymbalta about a month ago. I take 30mg a day. The fibro pain seems to be doing better. I have occasional flare ups. Its the back pain that I'm having so much trouble with. I feel like...
I'm new here, but have enjoyed reading all the posts. I know how invigorating it can be do accomplish something that has been staring you in the face that needs done!! My house has been in total...
Thanks for your advice. I do know that the dr is very hesitant to prescribe narcotics. The nurse told me he had a bad experience in the past from a patient. But what frustrates me about that is, I'm...
I've been reading the forum for several days and decided to see if I could get some advice. I'm 39 have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Scoliosis, Degenerative Disk Disease, and Celiac Disease. Am...
