I don't know if we have an md acupuncturist in town, but I will find out!...
I agree, it's easy to say it's not real if there is no solid blood test, it's very annoying. I even had MRIs Any of this sound familiar? Symptoms; more diverse but I can stand it so far. I constantly...
I'm about to ask if I'm covered under my insurance for acupuncture, I had it one time and paid out of pocket, but I can't do that again. I did feel a little better for almost 2 months, but I'd like...
I have a bad knee every time the barometer changes, I call it my lumbago, because that's what it says in the old books. I also sleep a lot for about 3 days....
I burn easily, but only get tan in the tanning booth. I haven't been in one for 17 years, lol. It did warm my bones, it's cold outside here....
They do have night guards at the drug store, I haven't tried any yet. My dentist wants to fit me with the expensive one too, my jaw decided to click. And sometimes I wake up and all my teeth hurt,...
Glad you can visit and share, that really does help a lot. Keep coming back!...
Hi, I've had headaches sometimes almost everyday, for so long it seems normal to me but my husband finally said, no that is not normal, lol. And I do itch now but I can't tell if it's the fibro,...
Thanks for writing because I know that is scary. Please write some more!...
Sometimes my toes turn purple in the bathroom by the way, so definitely must be a circulation relationship somewhere?...
Hi, here's my experience with the muscles that won't work (and the neurologist lol): I had to change neurologists because the first one started looking at me like I was very old meat loaf. I had...
I joke about the "lumbago" in my knee, it starts hurting with a bad pressure change....
I also could not take Cymbalta, no matter if it was a few grains. I assume this is serotonin sickness? Topamax doesn't bother me, but it bugs a lot of other people. My husband blames it for...
I too feel those "homework" problems. I've learned to decide on paper plates or real ones? Same for the rest. Ice cream and cereal definitely goes to disposable, because if they all eat either one,...
Lol...
It sounds like neuropathy and fibromyalgia, but there are lots of tests for that still. Let us know how it goes....
I usually say it's not so bad, although when I'm honest I say, I feel like I got run over by a squishy truck and I have salt in my eyes....
I don't wear socks because they annoy me, it's been like than that for ten years. Anyone else?...
Yes, I hate toilet paper too....
Well that's not going to help those of us who frequently miss medication or don't have medication due to lack of money. I think that opinion needs more research....
Ooh, but I have piles of books, lol...
I'm glad I don't check out books! Our library sells used ones in the front for 50 cents so I do that instead, it's probably safer anyway....
As I said, changing to doctors that take you seriously is the key....
Yes, and please find a different doctor. It makes such a difference to have one that listens to you! Here is my essay Symptoms; more diverse but I can stand it so far. I constantly feel tired no...
I always had neck / upper back pain and head aches since I was 15, but mostly I kept telling them to check my thyroid. I think everything went wonky/ worse after I had my first baby at 20. They...
I have three boxes of tinfoil now because I kept thinking I ran out. Well, I did.. Three weeks ago!...
Thank you so much, I hope it helps someone!...
Hi, I'm going to have a little problem with that, just trying to eek out money for my three prescriptions, and hubby's heart medication. I once went without lyrica for three weeks, I do not recommend...
I can just see your doctors eyebrows going up now, and frowning, lol...
Oh, and Aleve doesn't work for me, lol....
Cymbalta made me very nauseous and dizzy, even if I took a tiny bit, but apparently there are 2 types of people. Like Aleve, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. With Cymbalta, it seems the...
For some reason my kids get it in the late spring/summer and it goes away. They have no medical issues besides very mild allergies during tree pollen season....
This year I'm having the hardest time with the tree pollen, it even makes my skin itch, and I think the fibro is adding on a fake fever. I feel cold, so now I'm the only one in the house wearing a...
Hey there, I'm one that gabapentin didn't do anything for. Keep changing doctors until you find someone that listens, it's a pain but it makes everything so much easier. Lyrica helped me sleep, but I...
Hi, I find it very frustrating that acquaintances are more sympathetic than family sometimes. I think it's because when we have a day when we need to push through, we do it, they don't notice it...
I also get red in the heat and carry ice packs to put on my neck everywhere I go in the summer. I thought it might be because of the thyroid, but maybe not?...
I have a regular temp of 97.8 so if I have a 98.8 temp it's going to feel like a fever. Just keep check of your temps so you can tell the difference....
I'm having many of the same issues so I wrote an essay just to get it all out. I write better than I talk, so I was hoping my family could understand it better. I think the doctors have to deal with...
I always had a 97.5 regular temperature too so when I get to 98.9 I'm in fever mode. Sometimes I get them once a week, I'm glad to hear it might just be from the inflammation....
