I agree with many of the others that I too have Meniere's and could have written that post. I've had Mineres for 10 years now, but keep it almost completely under control by using a Meniett. This is...
I have several. My original one is great for neck or lower back-it has a rope loop on each end. There is also a gift pack set of scented ones I shapes to use on upper back or leg ...or wherever. I...
Bunny my heart and prayers go out to you. As for how to educate friends and loved ones that while you look fine, you feel beyond horrible, try sharing our Forum Moderator's Spoon Theory...
Thanks Luvzminis, do your sinuses really flair up along with your Fibro? I just thought that I had weird sinuses, and it was coincidence that mine flair. Hearing that from you helps, since now I will...
Oh! I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter's migraine ordeal. There is nothing worse that seeing you child in pain and not being able to help. My daughter and I both suffer chronic migraines. She's...
I get that in my feet sometimes. I've found that a good, rich cream is the most soothing. Sometimes i breakout my cold pack from the freezer, which also sooths always some of the burn....
I'm just wondering what favorite rescue tricks other people find the most helpful. I know that for me, I go for the ibuprofen and my microwave heating pad. I've read that some people have tried...
I've had flairs hit both ways. Currently its all focused on just one leg, but my previous flair was more like the flu hitting everywhere. Overall, my left side usually is worse than my right side....
"So what can they do to make you better? I'm sure you would feel much better if you just lost weight." -comment yesterday (AND the day before) when seeing me during a bad flair-up....
Are you just having the stiffness, or are you having the Charlie-horse type pain down your legs? I've been searching the board for MEDS other people are using so I can ask my doc about them. He...
Yep, I'm craving ice cream and other sweet when the pain flairs! I learned years ago (I also have RSD, a chronic pain thing) that eating our favorite things releases pleasure endorphins. Of course...
Thank you for the welcome, and for the tip of reading Fibro101! I hope I'm on an upward swing, as I'm feeling worn, but (cross my fingers) so far no burning upper arms or back. Just my tendonitis...
Thank you for posting!!! It's wonderful that you are being proactive - reaching out and finding "real-world" advise from those of us with the same condition. As you may notice, even though we all...
Sorry for the long post, but here the top here sums it up (the rest is more detail) Going out of the house for a full day is a real push for me, and afterward, I will often end up in bed for a few...
I'm glad (and sad) that I'm not alone. I have to admit, I really did love the zebra print chair we carted around the store. I too have a permanent disabled placard and have learned to ignore the...
I've had a lot of stress and needed to assist hubby with my 85 year old mother-in-law over the past few weeks and have needed more and more rest as I've felt myself wearing down. On Monday we went to...
I was rather shocked last week when I clicked on a new link Kaiser added to their website that allows members to view their list of ongoing conditions. At the bottom of the list I saw Chronic Kidney...
Thanks Namian! I'll have to check out my local Lane Bryant store. T-shirt material sure sounds comfy! Also not too hot with summer coming. I completely agree with kimliz59 about proper fitting. I...
Thank you all for sharing your support (Ugh! -------again, no pun intended). My fibro has REALLY been hitting me har for about the last 2 weeks. I used to love going for an afternoon hike, which my...
I've ignorantly been taking Lyrica for the last... I think 3 years. I had also been taking Topamax for chronic migraine, but two years ago I had to go off due to severe memory issues and the hair...
I have to laugh at myself that this would be my first post on this forum, but currently this is a pressing (no pun intended) problem. I am a VERY (naturally) busty gal, and when Fibro flairs, off...
