Thank you for the piece of Christmas atmosphere and family feelings and joy. Carpe diem as the ancient said. God be with all of us! :-)...
In my opinion science is an objective thing. When they say "no progerssive" they mean fibro does not cause organ damage. It`s something wrong in how our brain processes pain signals. Pain from fibro...
Sounds like flu symptoms. Many people complain from nausea and headache combined with higher temperature. I live in a remote country but viruses today respect no frontiers. However with fibro one...
Some years ago i had left shoulder, upper arm pain with some movements. I also had difficulty with lifting weights.It was dx frozen shoulder. After months of pain it disappeared, then appeared right...
Robin, I agree news isn`t good but have you considered this:[/urlhttp://www.clevelandclinicmeded.com/medicalpubs/diseasemanagement/pulmonary/sarcoidosis/ ] And nobody can say how much time we have...
Raisse and Anna, What you share is the reason of being reluctant to Tramadol but however now thinking and reading i see that it was too much fuss from my part. Anyway i could stop it if side effects...
Mine come up after stressful events, especially when they happen some in a row. Cold is another of the reasons. I don`t have them very often but they last weeks even months. I`m never completely pain...
Thank you Acheybody, Stinky, Michael, Kerib,Couchtater, Dagger, Dizny, all of you, so great group you are! I`ll get a try. My doctor prescribed me 100 mg. a day! Hugs...
Could somebody share her/his experience with Tramadol. Some time ago my doctor prescribed me but i didn`t take it. Ibuprofen doesn`t work good enough for me, so i decided to try Tramadol. I have some...
Robin, This is a terrible roller coaster you are experiencing. Waiting for results isn`t funny. All your symptoms could be from your pneumonia. My prayers are with you. Hugs...
The biggest concern no longer exists! excellent news! Pleural effusion may be on the way of disappearing, sometimes it takes some time especially with pneumonia. Anyway you are a fighter! My prayers...
:-) Perfectly organized. For me it could work too if i weren`t looking for my phone or something else at the last moment. :smile: :yeah:...
I`m freezing at temperature under 30 degrees Celsius ( 85 Fahrenheit)....
Robin, You are in my prayers, Robin. You have to go through a lot of anxiety! Hope for good scan results! Hugs...
Our first cat, Jeanne lived with us about 17 years. One year later we began living with our second cat, Marie. Both of them -sweet, gentle, amusing, funny and extremely affectionate....
Variety of symptoms. Aches, pains in muscle, tendons and joint, sometimes at a point i can`t drive. Memory loss, dyslexia like issues. Disorientation,panic attacks, eyes issues, weird behavior....
I have this sometimes when waking up only on hands and sometimes it doesn`t burn but itches....
No reason to feel guilty about accidents that happen to everybody. You`re safe and that matters. In my opinion have one`s hair colored is better in daylight. I`m sure you`re looking fine even with...
Wackers, The decision is the most difficult thing in the situation, once it is made you are going to feel better, i`m sure. As for money we have here, in Bulgaria a proverb difficult to translate but...
Great news! Enjoy Christmas season as much as you can! :turn: :yeah:...
I have heavy legs due to a vein circulation problem....
hi, It`s snowing here and all my muscles aches so much. Spending most of the time in bed and crying from time to time. :)...
Brain fog is a major problem for me being a teacher of foreign (French) language. It gets worse when the class is noisy during a speaking activity. That` s why i work part-time- only nine classes per...
You are perfectly right. I hope you recover soon from your pneumonia and feel much better as soon as possible. Some weeks ago when i had some new ache in my groin, i first thought it was the fibro....
Sueg, At least now you know the beast you are fighting with. Wish you found the strength and all the support you need. Hugs...
Same opinion as everybody above! :) Hugs...
Massage with ice around the eyes shrinks capillaries and increases blood flow. This could help but only if you don`t have sinus issues. Put a piece of ice in thick cotton handkerchief and apply to...
I wish you had better days and people who give you love and hugs! hopefully your pain would decrease soon!...
Once upon a time there were doctors who put dx without any scans, lab test etc. Now, even with the more precise electronic technology they leave the patients wondering what`s going on with them. Poor...
It`s hard to wait but try to stay positive. It is a kind of thing you could have it for a while. Your symptoms could come from fibro, anxiety and many other things. Could you have a second doctor see...
I know what you are going through. In 2007 i had a strange mass in my mediastinum, difficult to dx. Sarcoid, lymphoma and other things were suspected. The place was difficult for biopsy. Then, three...
A good gastro doctor will elicit the problem and hopefully you find relief soon! Hugs...
Myself, Excellent note for you, dear colleague. So glad for you! And you give me a lot of motivation and courage, too. Difficult to say exactly what i want to, because English is not my native...
Ladies, Just want to say it is so comforting to speak to people who know what you mean and how you feel. hugs...
Thank you for posting the article. Hope they find the cause of the disease and how to treat it....
hi, Rest and enjoy calm. For a month i`ve been in the same condition. Fatigue, memory going wild, pains all over, anxiety and struggling for energy for my work. hugs...
Angel, Rest, don`t feel guilty because you are not responsible for this painful condition. I know what you mean. Resting for me means also avoiding all kinds of anxiety, stress and emotional...
Hi Totallytang, Sorry you have all of the above. In my opinion you have typical fibro symptoms, integral part of the big show, called fibromyalgia. At least you found this board with all these...
Hi Sherrine and everybody here! The problem is that sometimes my feeling is so real that i first act, then think. :smile: :confused:...
Hi, I join the group with strange sensations. Insects crawling, water running and the rest. Sometimes i get into real panic attack - thinking i have bladder incontinence, going to the bathroom only...
Hi Ak, So sorry you paid so big price for something that most of the people wouldn`t even mention and notice as a kind of effort. The weather in fall is often misleading. I hope you are already...
Myself, I work at high school part-time. I teach French. Only nine classes per week, 45 minutes each, in three days. It`s manageable. Two things however are difficult for me. On Friday i have early...
Is it something with the shape of a rope? If so, i`ve got the same thing. Sometimes hurts, sometimes not....
Congratulations! It`s a big effort for a fibromite! How about the usual noise in the place?...
I`ve been in a middle of one for a month. I wish a psychic could tell me when it would stop! wish everybody better days!...
Hi Juno, Sorry for the reason you are here. I`m a new member, too, and in good company. Reading and writing in a foreign language, but with people who understands me well otherwise. Hugs...
Hi laineyk, So sorry for your suffering! Hope you feel better soon. I have a terrible flare-up at the moment at the point of postponing a trip planned several weeks ago. May be fall is responsible...
Myself, It`s a real challenge for a fibromite to deal with the young people energy. Being myself a teacher of French, i only have part-time job and i`m drained after the classes. So wish you a great...
Not funny but when my dx was clear the doctor told me: either you have fibro or you are about to die. It is 5 years now, i`m still here experiencing a lot of pain, stiffness, inconclusive diagnoses,...
The sooner you know what`s going on, the better. I think many with fibro people have periods of ruling out some other disease and feel concerned. hugs...
