Thanks! It was only slightly raised kind of like a light welt of some sort so I have no idea. I appreciate the input!...
Thanks!...
I just had a question about lupus related rashes. For two weeks or so I have had a rash on my cheeks and nose, with it being worse on the cheeks. My question is, has anyone ever had the rash on their...
The ER really won't do anything for you, been there done that before I was able to get to a regular doc and before I was diagnosed (insurance reasons). I felt the same way though, about them assuming...
The first visit was lyrica, tramadol, and zanaflex, then the next he increased the lyrica and zanaflex and added everything else...
Thank you all for the replies! I am taking th.muscle relaxer zanaflex currently, plus lyrica, tramadol, vitamin D, mobic, fish oil, and iron three times a week. I guess it concerned me because my...
I take mine every day, granted I don't take as much as told because I don't want that doped up feeling, but even with taking them I still have that all over achy feeling. It takes the edge off if...
With my second visit with the rheumatologist, he said my blood work was normal except for a vitamin D deficiency. He increased the lyrica and also prescribed vitamin D pills and some anti...
Thanks, I'll have to try that!...
I get really deep muscular, to the bone leg and arm pain and the general hurts all over feeling with other areas that hurt more like my shoulders or my hips and lower back. Most of the time the meds...
It's completely possibly, I have a lot of issues with constipation and getting sick hours after I eat like it won't digest or gets stuck or something....
I haven't seen that one but I'm addicted to ravelry and they have groups on there too. I wonder if the have fibro groups, didn't think about checking until now. I rarely post on ravelry but it's good...
They thought it was weird when I told them.it caused me.problems Paddington but I know I didn't have that problem before I started taking the gabapentin....
We had a bad storm yesterday and I woke up before it hit with hips hurting like crazy....
That is too funny! Thanks for the laugh :-) I do.know what rollers are though, I have used the ones that come with the steam thing on my own hair actually....
I'm on lyrica, which I haven't noticed having an effect, zanaflex that I haven't taken yet, and tramadol. I use a heating pad or take a hot shower when it's really bad. I just joined the forum...
Thank you all for the info! Still no luck do far but I plan to keep trying it until my next appt on the 17th and then I'll let him know one way or the other....
I haven't had that but I wouldn't definitely bring it up with your doctor....
Thanks, I will look into that the next time it happens. Appreciate the info!!...
I just get them randomly but they hurt like crazy....
Wow that's terrible! I'm also in 50mg per night....
This is true. Thank you, I will definitely try to remember all the little details then!...
Thanks! I'm just frustrated right now because nothing seems to be doing much. I work across the street so I walk to and from work and on the way home for lunch I honestly didn't think I was going to...
I got to thinking a moment ago, the rheumy asked about mouth sores, and I never thought about this because it's been awhile, but should I tell him about these sores I get on my tongue from time to...
I didn't either but that's what my psych at the time prescribed. The only thing it did was cause me to have trouble passing urine as weird as it sounds. I'd have to go but nothing would come out so...
I'm 23 as well, almost 24. I just started the lyrica but haven't noticed a difference yet, I'm hoping I will soon. I'm also on tramadol and zanaflex but I haven't taken the zanaflex yet....
I was on gabapentin years ago for anxiety and have tried several antidepressants and it was like I wasn't even taking anything. I will keep taking it and if I don't notice a difference by my next...
I just use swiffer, it doesn't seem to cause any problems for me personally. I use the wood floor one, it has a light scent that's not overpowering imo. It may not necessarily be the case for others...
Thanks! I figured I'd give it a few days, but nothing so far except making me sleepy and groggy when I wake up....
I agree. I just joined here but I'm thankful to have others to talk to who knows what it feels like to have your body completely turn on you and are supportive....
I pretty much use my boyfriend for whatever I can't do. I'm such a bad girlfriend lol. He is good though, a lot of the time he insists on doing a lot especially if it involves heavy things and such....
I absolutely love doing it, it relaxes me so much mentally. With knitting, I use circular needles whether it's in the round or back and forth. The circulars help with the weight of the fabric so it...
No problem! it usually tells you on the label what size hook or needles you need for that weight yarn and all that good stuff. :)...
Sorry for posting so much! Has anyone had any success with Lyrica? How long did it take to work for you? I've taken it two nights in a row and haven't noticed a difference with sleep. It does make me...
I told my boyfriend that I think my hands would be worse off if I didn't use them like I did. Ravelry.com has tons of great patterns, a lot free, some paid, but for both knitting and crochet. I've...
I actually don't know what mine is really. It had a note saying that carboxypenicillins can cause a falsely decreased CRP level due to analytical interference and it hasn't been checked since then. I...
Does anyone else knit or crochet? I do both. I was wondering if you thought it helped with the joints in your hands or made them worse? I try to because I like to (obviously lol) but also I figured...
I seriously hope they find something for me that works no matter what the blood work results are. The only sun related issues I've had really is the whole I turn into a lobster thing instead of being...
I've only had back spasms before, it only lasted a few seconds but it was intense. It was like the muscles just seized up, like being grabbed as you were describing....
I really appreciate it! I was eating ibuprofen like candy and it never touched the pain. It was completely useless, as was Aleve and Voltaren. Like I said, no matter what's going on, I'm definitely...
I think they are leaning towards fibro because I don't have any rashes and the majority of my blood work was normal. The only thing was the ANA and thyroid was mildly elevated but not alarmingly so....
Thanks! I will check that out for sure. Within the last year I've just been having so many issues. I've also had bad dizzy spells, to which they said was labryinthitis but they would still come and...
I've been going to the doctor for the last couple of months due to a lot of pain and general not feeling well. I've had slight swelling, joint and muscle pain, slight fever, and tiredness like I...
