My son's doctor does not want him on anything stronger than Tramadol but because of pain, it was just increased. How much are you on? He also takes flexeril at bedtime and it help so maybe ask about...
Yup, you need to be tested for other diseases. My son's rheumy told me that if the Sed Rate is high, it is more than Fibro...
I think I would be concerned a little more on the fact that she could not pee and someone just might need to run some bloodwork concerning her kidneys...
My son is 17 and was just diagnosed, probably has had it for more than 5 years...
My son uses Tramadol and it works well for him. He can only use it if he is in for the day though. It's not addictive and the doctor wants him to not use narcotics since they are addictive. My son's...
My son is 17 and going through the same feelings of pain meds. He is on Tramadol and flexiril which helps, when he isn't being stubborn and takes it. He told he that Tramadol is the best pain...
I am a mom of a 17 yr old fibro son who is running around saying "Great, I have an old woman's disease" Trust me, he gets lots of glares LOL...
My son is, they won't start him on fibro meds until it's up to normal limits BUT my son has had numerous gastro surgeries so he might not even be absorbing the pills he is taking. We will find out in...
My mother suffers from MS and believes that's what my son has, not fibro. I actually wonder if she has fibro, not MS. I look at the symptoms of both and they are so similar, anyone know how a doctor...
I have your summer, going to be 106 here in St Louis today. Well, I spent most my life in Florida. First off, there is no Six Flags there, thinking you mean Disney or Universal? We took an Alaskan...
Enajones, does someone need to remind you to write things down? You sound like what my son is going through. Sometimes he is talking about something and finishes that conversation with the end of...
My son has been taking Flexeril at bedtime and it really seems to be helping. He had these massive thigh muscle where I thought I was going to have to take his car keys away. The medicine is also...
It's not the Paxil, he's been on it for 9 years. I was told it's the Fibro...
AHHHHHHHHHHH Well he's on Paxil for the anxiety and PTSD, if he's off that he sits and the corner and cries. I wish I could get him on here, hopefully soon. I really think it would be helpful for...
I think my 17 yr old son with Fibro is losing it mentally and I am not sure what to do. The doctor will not start him on fibro meds until his Vit D and thyroid levels are normal. So we have 7 weeks...
I tell you what, I am beyond nervous because my son is on SSI and turns 18 next April. It will be time for his 3 year medical review too. I am not looking forward to the process he will have to go...
Thanks all and yeah, he's on 50,000 Vit DAnd no Achey, I am extremely fortunate to have a son who is like my best friend. His old pediatrician told us that it isn't healthy that we are so close....
We had his second appointment with the Rhuematologist and he's very concerned because of his Vit D level. He said we aren't even going to approach the fibro until this is at a healthy level. He...
Thanks, that is good information. I have hypothyroidism so I know what's happening there AND that's the only thing he's going through I understand. But it's a start! Anyone have any recommendations...
Yeah, he’s on Paxil for anxiety, Flexiril for the muscles, Zantac for the GERD, had the colon removed for the impactions, the Dr was so flustered because he had 18 out of 18 touchpoints and asked ME...
In fact, I actually printed a symptom list off here and went over it with my son before we saw the doctor. Kind of creeped us out since it sounded so much like him....
Well, I didn't list all the fibro symptoms he has. He has every single one of them that are not female related, which is why the rheumatologist is so mad. The Dr said as long as the other tests turn...
Thanks, but he's still too ticked off to come here, I tried. He is on flexiril for the muscles. When we go back to the doctor Thursday, unless blood tests show something else, a plan will be made for...
My 17 yr old son was just diagnosed with fibro. We have our follow up appt on Thursday. On all the info I have found about fibro, I have not found this listed but thought I would ask. Does anyone...
