Thank you Jungrulz, That does help. I guess it was a blackout... Couldn't find the word. But yes all those symptoms happened just before I went into a "trance" feeling. My follow-up with the Dr is...
Hi, I was recently sent to a neurologist for uncontrollable muscle spasms. I had a Normal MRI, Blood work and yesterday I had an EEG. The tech did two tests. The strobe light and the HVT. On the...
Hi, Yes, I was on a high dose of Tramadol for a couple months until my constipation got so bad I had to get off of it. The withdraw is HELL. Sweat, Cold, Hot, Dizzy...much more. But I can say for me...
Thanks Karen, The thing is, The fluttering in my ears is so annoying. But regarding muscle spasms, I will find my fingers and toes and legs all contorted, then I feel pain and I have to consciously...
So I've been having muscle spasms in my ear and went to see an ENT doctor today. He offered no hope. He says my spasms are most likely related to my Fibromyalgia as it encompasses almost everything...
I was on Tramadol 4 times daily and it worked great EXCEPT it made me SO constipated, to the point I had to go to the ER and have it manually removed. That's my only issue with that med. I'd try...
Check the side effects of your meds. I was on Geodon for depression and I couldn't even look at food. I am 5'4" and usually weigh 125 but that med made me lose down to 102 pounds. I did go to a...
My pain doctor filled out a four page document stating I can't sit, stand, bend, kneel for more than 10 min. I need an hour every 2 hours to lie down to rest/sleep. I can't walk longer than a block....
Wow! Is all I can say. I did that kind of living before I was dx with myofacisal pain and Fibro. I'd love to get back into all that but a spin class was just torture! I literally got up in the middle...
I tried a TENS unit for my Degenertive Disc in my neck. I had to have it pumped up so high it made my body twitch in areas. It didn't work for me but I never discourage anyone from giving it a try....
Yeah, I am not too busty 32C, but I HATE bras. It lands right on the areas where i have pain. The trapezoids and then the strap in the middle of my back really kills and irritates my muscle spasms....
I am applying for jobs again. After being unemployed for two years and denied disability I got a lawyer and they said "we have to move to the hearing stage which will take 14 to 19 months". Money is...
Hi, I don't have kids but I understand where you're coming from. I feel good one day, make plans for a few days out and end up having to cancel them cause my pain. My poor husband gets the full brunt...
I feel the same. I also feel like someone has hit me with a metal baseball bat on my hips and butt. The doctor says it's muscle spasms. I have to disagree. D:...
Yes Sherrine, I haven't been back. My friend suggested I go and he dx me with kidney problems but didn't know what SI joints were or sciatic nerve. My one time visit was $170 dollars. Each additional...
You know, I went to him once, so I can't say "my acupuncturist" and mean "I've seen him many years, blah, blah, blah". He really didn't give an explanation but now that I think about it, when I was...
My acupuncturist says if I quit eating chicken the Fibromyalgia will go away. Anyone else heard of this? Izzy...
Thank you all, I am making an appointment with my family doctor, as my pain doctor just keeps brushing it off as spasms. But I think it's something else. Like I said my fingers and legs contort and I...
For the past few months my muscles are out of control. My doctor has me on baclofen 10mg 4 times a day but for some reason I feel this is more than the "regular" muscle spasm. I don't notice my my...
Hi, I do go to a pain clinic. I take baclofen and oxycodone. I can't tolerate many of the medicines that do work for fibro patients. Lyrica made my face swell, Nurontin made my depression spiral out...
Hello, I posted a thread not too long ago (Counseling) regarding this exact issue. I got some great advice and suggestions. Mostly, My problem is my husband and I can't do the activities we used to...
Hi all, So thank you for your replies and suggestions. The Dr, after 6 months of complaining, did switch my med. I'm now taking oxycodone 7.5/325. I took my first one last night and having...
Definetly call the doctor. Also, this may just be me but when a medication goes horribly wrong for me I like to tell my story. Tramadol worked really well but my doctor increased my dose (can't...
YES! I actually was urinating so much a few weeks ago I thought it was a urinary tract infection. I can't answer if it's a symptom of FMS but I share this struggle. When I was working and took field...
This is the first time FMS has affected my arm and wrist. An achy stiff pain. Is this a "thing" It really hurts at the crease of the elbow but the entire arm just aches. :shakehead: What next?! Also,...
Thank you all for your experience, strength and hope. I know he loves me and did say it out of not thinking it first. I do take things people say to the heart more so. I'm just going to continue to...
Things have been going downhill as far as me and my husband finding things to do together. He's very athletic and active (someone that has to do something all the time). I used to be before Fibro and...
Hi Suzie, I did have three removed from my SI joint area, one was, and I quote "slithering" in-between my spine. The surgeon got them out but now I too have nerve damage and I describe it as being...
Hi IBS_Sucks I am usually on the Fibromyalgia forum as I have EVERYTHING under the sun. I too noticed two lumps on my lower back (SI joint) area where a lot of my pain is, In January. One Doctor said...
Thank you Milly, I can see why someone would suggest writing everything down. I just went and got all my doctor notes and that helped me remember. I have Limpoma tumors on my lumbar and I will be...
Thank you. I can't go back to work b/c then SSA sees it as "OH, you can work?! You're fine!" So I am going to try to wait it out, Anyways I don't know what I can do if I decide to go back to work....
This is now my second attempt on my own to acquire disability for Fibromyalgia, sciatic nerve pain and Limpoma tumors on my spine. SSA says I can still work. I have now turned to the professionals...
I see a psychiatrist. Not much help in dealing with physical pain but they are there to help with feeling down and having anxiety. I take klonopin and my GP actually wanted my psychiatrist to up the...
In bit of a humdrum day. Since Fibro I can't seem to find activities that I like to do. My husband and I are trying to work on this but it's hard. We usually end up fighting about it. He's very...
Just curious. Does anyone know more information on whether or not is effective in helping with pain caused by Fibromyalgia. I've have done just about all the Internet research out there. I would love...
Hi there, Yes it happens A LOT! I've been to 4 doctors about the pain. I was given a Fibro diagnosis and after visiting my 4th doctor they found degenerative Disc Disease in my cervical and lumbar...
Wow Fightingmomma25, I hadn't heard of weight gain as a side effect. The Butran Patch did nothing at all to help my pain. I guess it was too mild, or that's what the doctors say. I also couldn't...
Okay, I will look for the plum juice as well. So far I am not having horrible troubles. Not like I did with Tramadol. Thank you all for your suggestions. :)...
Taking all this in. :D I appreciate all of you guys helping me poop, hahaha. sigh. Kinda sad. I have been eating bran, fruit, I will try the warm prune juice. I've got to get better on the walking a...
Thank you for the suggestion. I will look into taking that....
Hi, I quit working this past December. I filed for disability and my case is still open. Fingers are crossed something gets decided, in my favor. My funds are depleting fast! It was tough to quit but...
So I spoke with my pain doctor. He wanted to push my Butran Patch up to 20mcg. I told him I was vomiting, sweating, and it fizzled out after 4 days. On top of all that it was still $102 with...
Oh wow! Thanks Jag. I will look into this. Thank you...
Hello all, I have a question. Ive had x-rays and an MRI of my spine and everything came back as "anatomically normal" but for the past few weeks I've noticed areas on my spine that feel bruised....
I am going to talk to my doctor today. I will ask about subutex. I put a new patch on yesterday and I am in a huge amount of pain. :(...
Well It looks like the Butran patch is not for me. I was having severe headaches and the patch seemed to work for 4 days out of the 7. My doctor is supposed to be in touch with me on another option....
Thank you for your reply. I am not doing anything till a nurse calls me back. I am so tired of this. :( I don't want strong narcotics either. I'm really disappointed the ESI didn't help longer...
It's been 5 days since putting on my first lowest dose (5mcg) patch, and it has pooped out. I also got an epidural steroid injection that has pooped out too. Not going to be discouraged. I called the...
I think that's Neurontin, It made my depression spiral out of control and did nothing for my pain. Izzy5...
I will keep you posted. :) Thank you...
