No replies?? :( Has no one heard of this product?...
Hey try not to worry...I had the same scare this year where my doctor wasn't sure if I had MS. I had all sorts of paresthesias but after about 6 months they started diminishing and they are almost...
So lately I've been dealing with some nasty IBS-like symptoms. I'm not 100% sure if that's what it is yet, but given that I've suffered from it before and that I have GERD....its a distinct...
Wackers, I've gotten that a few times...especially after taking a high dose vitamin D for some reason. For me it feels more like an irritated tip of the tongue. Other times, I've actually burned it...
That's what everyone tells me about Acupuncture, but when I tried it for itching, I didn't get any better and I ended up with nerve pain in my hands for a few days...so it may not be for everyone. I...
oh, I just remembered....option e.) exposure to chlorinated water at the spa exactly 2 weeks ago! I actually had issues with this before when I went swimming a few months ago. The good part is that...
So I'm wondering about this...should I take the 5 day Medrol pack my Rheumatologist suggested (as a test to see if I have an inflammatory condition)?? I'm unsure because: 1. presently I'm having some...
It's funny how are bodies are different, yet we have very similar symptoms. Melatonin didn't work for me in the past. Next time I can't sleep I'll re-try it...out of sheer curiosity....
Wackers, did you ever try the GABA and suntheanine? no good?...
I'm also hla-b27 positive, but I do not have AS or any type of systemic inflammation...at least not yet. My Rheumatologist told me some people just have these markers but they do not get the...
I have issues with my fingertips as well, but Magnesium did not help me. I'd love to hear any other suggestions for this annoying issue...I'm sure Poy would like that too :)...
The functional levels for Magnesium are between 2.0 - 2.5 mg/dL...
Fibro, I have that type of pain in my arms, ankles, and even some fingers and toes...and the EMG and brain MRI were normal. So it doesn't have to be related to a more serious illness. Here's...
Anna, all of those ailments can be successfully treated with the same prescription as Candida....strengthen your immune system. Whats the best way to do that? 1. Dietary changes and immune-regulating...
yes Fibromom....that's exactly it! They feel tight and a burning sensation...and a heaviness too. Its new for me too....
Well good news today, my brain MRI came back completely negative...so the problem is not in my head. This leaves my doctor no other choice but to seriously consider Fibromyalgia since my blood work...
Diane, do your hands feel irritated after you've been doing a chore like cleaning, for example?? My fingertips get somewhat desensitized after wiping a countertop of removing stains...anything that's...
This has been going on for the last month or so...especially my right foot. It tends to be worse at night. All my other symptoms have been improving..including the cold toes. So now they are not...
Does anyone else have trouble with their closed shoes. Everytime I wear my sneakers now my feet get warmer than usual and they feel heavy....and I can "feel" the socks and shoe...all the time! Its...
Just to clarify, they are not made by the Oreos brand, but they are just as good. This is what they look like:...
just get the gluten free oreos...I find no difference in flavor...
I have it as soon as I get out of bed...but a quick hop in a very hot shower takes care of it. I let the hot water roll down my back for a few minutes and I have instant relief. Then it doesn't...
I can only send you the product info, but you can buy it at any healthfood store. http://www.jarrow.com/product/490/Theanine I think the label may have changed...just look for the Suntheanine logo on...
I've been doing it once a week for a month now and its been helping me as well....
Suntheanine is the one I took from Jarrow. You should try that one for the sleep...its supposed to work better than regular theanine. I got mixed results from the GABA, so it seems it depends on each...
Yes, its what got me sleeping again after 4 months of insomnia. I stopped taking it when my sleep patterns returned to normal. I don't know if it would help with anything else...I only took it for 1...
Its not all caps and its not necessarily huge (could be way bigger)....its just bold letters. Funny how that print translated to "all caps" or "too large" to some of you....
I tend to agree that in many cases fibro is just a severe form of stress and anxiety. The symptoms are all the same suggesting there is at least a connection to the source of both conditions. What is...
I found more than one source but I'm not gonna waste everyone's time posting links on the history of the name of the dreaded disease....seriously. As for the effect on life expectancy, we have to be...
Sherrine, I think you might want to read the whole sentence first. It specifically says that it affects lifespan ONLY due to the increase in rate. Also, regarding the name, Fibromyalgia has had many...
me too! I wonder if it was due to a weather pattern...
Thanks...it was quite a find. I'm glad there are comprehensive websites like this out there that help clear up the mysteries surrounding Fibro. I found this bit particularly interesting: "Research...
Yeah, recently I've experienced the same thing. I had to stop my personal training earlier this year because I kept getting worse. It used to help...seems only light, low-impact exercise is good for...
Today I found this website that goes over common Fibromyalgia myths and the facts with links to the sources. I thought I'd share because its very informative and clears up many misconceptions about...
I know how you feel...I woke up early today thinking I was going to clean up my house and I didn't even get started until 5 pm! I had IBS-type symptoms all day long and for reason my right hand...
Actually, I did some research on this and there are a few studies indicating overweight as a fibro trigger. In some studies there was a strong correlation between the two. Of course, this does not...
Oh and you are not allowed to review the test or your answers. So basically my entire future is in the hands of a computer. Myself, I live in a city that is 95% corrupt..my university is notorious...
Myself- I spoke to my classmates who took the test and only one of them passed with flying colors. Everyone else, barely passed and the questions I remembered as having "questionable" answers,...
No, that was the second attempt. I missed it by 5 points on the first attempt. Each question is worth 1 point...so what happened to me today was due to my failure to answer 1 question. There is...
So it gets worse....after so much studying and enduring so much pain I failed my exam by 1 point. My professors are so rigid that they will not make any exceptions even with a doctor's note. This...
Well I'm not so sure cause the first round of students who did the test today all got pretty much the same grade...something like 70% and they told me not to bother studying from the book and study...
Sherrine, I took 3 hot showers today! They always feel good but the relief doesn't last long. Ibuprofen upsets my stomach and Tylenol upsets my skin for some strange reason... However, my sister was...
So I've got two major cumulative exams back to back (tomorrow and Wednesday) and of course I have the mother of all flares. Unbelievable timing! I assume its the stress causing my body to freak out...
Nothing to see here in South Florida..believe me! Its been raining nonstop here and my whole body aches :( I suppose the beach can be healing though...I just wish we had better weather during July to...
That's the same information I came away with from my own research....wow, I can't believe doctors think this is a rare condition! You know they said the same thing to me regarding my Thoracic Outlet...
Jasmine- I couldn't find your post relating to this but I have to ask you: Is it me or do these folks have a fundamental misunderstanding of what leaky gut is? Its not a symptom, its a cause. It is...
Diet stuff, fine....but we should address leaky gut because that is a medical condition and there are medications and supplements that can help heal it. People with chronic pain can benefit greatly...
Was this a repeat of the last time he talked about it or a new show? He talked about it a few years back (saw it on youtube) Everyone's been telling me about yesterday's show...I hope he covered...
I think if we stick to information on how to heal leaky gut (intestinal or bowel hyperpermeability), then it will be more relevant. I did a whole lot of research on peer-reviewed studies recently and...
Te opthalmologist I recently saw was terrible and its all my insurance covers! She did run the proper tests for the retina and optic nerve so I know those are ok...but she offered now real...
