I've never heard of the low histamine though I've had a lot of improvement with managing my condition by changing my diet. I'm trying to type this in quick because I'm sure like all of the other...
I had an EMG done last month because of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. It hurt so bad I warned the neurologist performing the test that I was going to cry. Took days before the pain in my arms finally...
I'm married to a younger man so this could be a huge concern for me but we both refuse to let it be. Our intimacy begins with lots of him massaging and touching to help me relax more. If my pain is...
I'm constantly waiting for water to boil or a pan to heat up only to discover I never turned the burner on. Also have an issue with remembering to turn them off once I'm done....
I'm wondering if anyone else has this issue but I think I might be sensitive to serotonin. Except for the antibiotics I'm allergic to, the only medicines I've had negative reactions to can affect...
I have the anxiety about taking new meds too. Funny because one of the meds I still haven't taken though I've had it for a few months is Xanax to help with my anxiety! Sometimes when I'm out in the...
I had to share this, if I had found it before I went to this doctor I would have saved myself the trouble. This is a review of the rheumy from a website that rates doctors. I left out the Dr.'s name...
I can be sitting here watching tv and nodding off but as soon as I get to bed I'm wide awake forever. If I don't read or something to distract myself I'd just lay there getting frustrated but not...
Someone remind me to send this rheumy a thank you card because as an added bonus to my visit with her I am flaring so bad this morning that I barely managed to get out of bed. During the exam she...
And thanks Anna but I'm in Southern Indiana so unless anyone knows a good one here?...
There are a couple of issues with returning to work, the one of the biggest concern right now is the numbness in the fingers because I work at a casino which requires me to count large sums of money,...
Forgot, she also specifically told me that if someone has osteoarthritis they can not have fibromyalgia....
The Dr. actually walked through the waiting room where I was sitting and heard her tell the nurse that she overslept so that was the only reason that frustrated me. I'm not a morning person at all...
So I had my first visit with a rheumy this morning and I can't even begin to express my disappointment. First of all I sat forever in a freezing cold waiting room for almost an hour (appt notice said...
It was 5000 IU, first ones I found were only 1000 IU!...
Thanks for the responses. :D I braved the store on a Friday to go pick it up. Also picked up D3 since I talked to him about switching from the D2 (Ergo). He still wants me to do 50000 IU once a week...
I really need to try because working with as much money as I do, the thought of going back to work soon with numb fingertips terrifies me. Between paying out cash, counting out chips and having to...
I know a lot of people on here use Magnesium/Malic Acid. My doctor tested my magnesium levels and said they were normal but when I talked to him today about my fingertips being numb he said it was...
If they do the test is there a possibility of having any restoration of the hearing loss?...
I'd check into it possibly being caused by the Savella. I've done a lot of research on it because my doctor wanted me to try it but for me the benefits did not outweigh the risks. One of the common...
At least your fiance is trying, my sister is having crazy health issues right now and it appears that her husbands response is to step out on her. I'm lucky because yes, there are days I want to...
If it's the feeling like you're phone is on vibrate inside your body then I've had it. And I agree very annoying....
In the last few years I've lost over a hundred pounds, no I'm not down to my ideal weight yet but still, my pain is worse now than it was at my heaviest weight. And I have no doubt that I was having...
Welcome WestieSharon! I'm more of a lurker than a poster but I've definitely gotten a lot of good information from these forums and I hope you do too. Jo...
My doctor finally checked my vit D level and it was 9 (apparently I now hold the record low for his patients). He prescribed 50000 IU once a week for 8 weeks of the D2 (ergo). I noticed when reading...
My doctor has decided to refer me to a rheumatologist since I'm having so much trouble finding relief since the bad reaction to Tramadol, he also gave me a titration pack of Savella to see if I...
I have an appointment with my doctor Wed morning to discuss going back out on full FMLA. When I called the office and started talking to them I was so tired and stressed that I started crying. I hate...
My mom has this issue and the eye doctor told her it was eye migraines. I did notice somewhere in all of the information that I've read that people with fibro have them but of course I don't remember...
We do have uniform restrictions and I already pile the clothes under my uniform (as much as I can stand, we live in a warm area and we have to arrive on property in uniform so getting there in the...
I'm a newbie to posting but have been "lurking" on these forums for awhile reading all of the useful information that is posted but I've run into a problem. My doctor had been treating me for fibro...
