Well, I took my daughter to MUSC on Monday and we saw a wonderful doctor. He says she doesn't have cronic migraine but cronic headache. Which means she has a headache everyday and if she gets...

Hey Purple, hope you're doing well. I take neurontin and at first it did make me loopy. I would only take it on days when I knew I didn't have to leave the house. It does help with some of the pain...
Sherrine, we did have her eyes checked. Her eyes had changed some but unfortunately that isn't what has caused the headaches. Thanks for asking though. You never know what we may have over looked!...
Well, Sunday was a week that she's had this particular headache, ugh!! She was a little nauseous today but thank goodness she says the pain is only a 3, I'm not minimizing, just glad it's not a 5 or...
Thank you all so much!! She had a Drs appointment today in town and she was so sick the way there and home. It just breaks my heart!!! Hope to get in at MUSC soon!!!...
She takes 100 mg of the imitrex. But it hasn't really helped much. They started her out with 25 then went to 50 and now 100. They did give her something else for the nausea that dissolves on her...
Thank you both so much!! You guys always make me feel better no matter the situation. I truly appreciate how caring everyone is!...
No, but I sure will!! Thanks Trina...

Hi All, I normally post in the fibro forum but my 15 year old daughter was diagnosed with chronic migraines last week. She's been having them a few months now and had an MRI, everything was fine. The...

One Wish, I'm so sorry you're having to deal with fibro at such a young age. Maybe you could find a job that you could just work on weekends since you go to school during the week. Whatever you do I...
Huddie, I just read the thread where you were deciding what to do. I'm sorry you couldn't go but I think you made the right choice. You can do some fun things at home and hopefully your sons old...
Thank you to both of you. I ordered the book today. I also read the link on costochondritis and it does sound a little like me. I have an appt with my dr in a few weeks and I will ask him about it....
Is that part of the melt method? I saw that on Good Morning America maybe a week or so ago. I went to the garage and got my pool noodle so I could give it a try. Can you give me the name of the...
No, my dr hasn't recommended any physical therapy. I may ask him next time I see him. I have thought about getting the trigger point book. I guess now I will go ahead and get it. It's strange because...
I am praying and sending positive energy her way. Thinking of you Aned....
Does anyone ever feel chest pain when they breath? It's like you are really congested and it hurts to breath but there's no congestion. I'm not sure if this is fibro or something else....
Thank you Sherrine!! What an awesome testimony!! You have encouraged me greatly and when something happens and I think I can't due to pain I will think of you and think oh yes I can!! Thank you again...
Hi Jas, Cymbalta is for pain too. I've been on it for a couple of years now. Fibro does seem to move around. I go to bed wondering where I'll hurt tomorrow sometimes!! I hope you get it all figured...
Purple, Where did you find the kit online and how much was it? If you don't mind my asking. Thanks in advance!...
Hi purple, I was diagnosed after I had my daughter. I think I was about 29. I've never noticed flares related to hormones. But, I have noticed I have flares related to stress. Both of my kids were...
Hi I have fibromyalgia and haven't had insurance for a few years now. I too see my GP, I've seen him for years with and now without insurance. He gives me norco, tramadol, neurontin, cymbalta and...

Huddie, where do you get your Adrecor, online?...

Huddie, Yes, it's really bad now. My kids are 15 and 16 now so they can help. I really think stress caused it. I got really stressed, I had adrenal fatigue and I just crashed. I'm trying to figure...
That's how I was Huddie. I did have aches and pains. Nothing over the counter meds didn't help and nothing that put me down like now....
Hi Huddie, I was first diagnosed in 2001. I took meds for several years and just got tired of it. It quit taking all my meds. My children were small then so they kept me up and moving and i took...
