@mysacrifrice1975- I completely understand what your saying. It's like DOMS magnified times 10...lol... It's just very frustrating. I guess I am trying to find my happy medium as I believe I am...
1. Up until October (when I had first flare of fibro) I weight lifted and did cardio 6 days a week. I competed in bodybuilding competitions. I was diagnosed with fibro and nerve hypersensitivity on...
Try dymatize or optimum nutrition. You can find them at vitamin shoppe or GLC or cheaper at netrition.com or supplementwarehouse.com....
@acheybody, Thanks for the reply. No we haven't met yet. I was hanging in the Lupus forum as I tested positive for Lupus through ANA antibodies. When I saw the Rheumy she went with Fibromyalgia and...
Spoke too soon....lol.. I lasted a good part of the day before the awful fatigue and numbess/tingling and headaches sat in :( I guess it beats feeling good for about an hour a day....
Thanks for the replies. The medication has significantly reduced the symptoms. I am still getting some of the headaches I've been having with this flare but it is minor compared to what they were....
Hello- I am newly diagnosed with Fibromyalgia,nerve hypersensitivity syndrome as well as a few others things. I had my first rhuemy appointment yesterday and she prescribed me with Cymbalta and...
I saw the Rheumy today and I absolutely love her! She spent an enormous amount of time with me, going over my medical history as well as poking and prodding me. She said I have symptoms of Lupus but...
I just saw the GI at Indiana University. He said the mesenteritis is systemic and Lupus related. He doesn't think the abdominal bloating and distention is Lupus related. He said it is inflammation of...
My GP consulted with my regular GI and told her just to rescan me in two months. How frustrating considering I am so distended (9 month prego distended) and only eating liquid, abdomen on fire, and...
Fun, fun...it's like hide and seek for the body. ..can I quit now?! Lol. Thanks for answering....
LOL. Saw the GP today. She said the Pathologist had a fun time looking for appendix that weren't there (Had Large Intestines removed) She has confirmed the Mesenteritis diagnosis as well as the 12 mm...

I am now(past 2-3 weeks). I went to Florida the first week of October and hung out in the sun the whole time. Also, I was tanning in a tanning bed starting in July (which is also when I started...
Thanks so much Lynnwood! I appreciate your help! I feel like a hot mess right now :P...
That's what I wanted to do as I drink Protein Isolate shakes post workout and my GP told me to cut all lactose out including the shakes due to the abdominal problems. I am not lactose intolerant :(...
Lynnwood, Thank you so much for response. It was very helpful. I had other symptoms appear before the abdominal distention but I scoffed them off as something else...lol. It started with hair loss,...
Sally, Thank you very much. As I research I am learning about this very quickly. I lost my large intestines 12/20/2011 for "colonic inertia". I had the same exact episode I am having now. This...
I came across this site doing some research on Lupus. I have been diagnosed with Lupus and I am kind of in a whirlwind. This whole journey started with a severely distended stomach (and bloating) and...
