I'm having pain on the right side of my head only....behind my right eye, right forehead, right jaw, back of head and down right side of my neck. The neurologist told me the other day that this is...
I have the same feelings. Mine happens about 5 pm almost everyday. I get this feeling like I'm coming down with a cold. I feel flushed, feverish (but no fever), chills, scratchy throat and headache....
It's very hard for anyone to understand any situation, especially an invisible illness, unless they have lived it themselves. You know what they say....don't criticize someone until you have walked...
You're right about everything else bothering you! It does me too. That is since the Fibro stuff started. Shoes that I once wore now kill my feet so I only have maybe 4 pair that I can wear. I can't...
Your post title strikes up a question. Do I apply for disability or not? Please read on...... I've been experiencing most all the symptoms of Fibromyalgia for about 2 and a half years now but haven't...
The bottom line is that you know you're body and you know when something's not right. People cannot possibly know what your life is like until they have walked in your shoes. My life changed about 2...
When I have mine on I just hurt so bad across my shoulders and up my neck. It's like 'the girls' are pulling down on my shoulders and neck. You would think that wearing a bra would give support and...
Hi Andrea. I saw some posts that you made in 2012 so I hope you're still a part of this message board. I'm hoping that you can help me with a few questions and advice regarding SSDI....
Mine is not underwire. It's just a good Playtex support bra with the padded straps and it's not even that tight. Maybe I should try just a cotton sports bra that stretches with you but I've always...
I guess you would say it's my muscles that are sore and hurting. Normally I have pain in my shoulders and neck most of the time but when I put a bra on it really makes the pain worse. You would think...
My breasts are so sore that I've gotten to where I just cannot hardly wear a bra. When I do it makes the pain in my shoulders and neck almost unbearable. Around the house I just wear a cami under my...
This is happening to me a lot too. After a few hours out for a doctor's appointment or shopping, by the time I get home I'm just about ready to drop. Around 5 or 6 pm I get this sick feeling like I'm...
I've never been told I had or heard of cryptic tonsils. I guess that's something else for me to research. When I was a teenager I suffered with continuous bouts of tonsillitis but that was 40 years...
I keep getting tonsil stones every couple of months. Could this be Fibro related? I never got them until all the other Fibro symptoms started....
For months the rheumy blamed it on the Hypothyroidism which happened to be out of whack at the time. But at my last visit my thyroid tests had been normal for the last 6 months but there was no...
To ak angel: yes, I too have done a lot of research online and reading in forums to come to my own conclusion that it is Fibro based on the fact that none of the doctors that I've seen can tell me...
To Hopeful606: What type of bloodtest did your doctor do to confirm the Fibro or were you referring to the many bloodtests that they do to rule out other diseases like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis,...
Question - do any Fibro related symptoms show up on an MRI or brain scan or is this illness/disease just invisible to all tests? A little background - I've been experiencing most all the symptoms of...
I too have the crackling neck! Also, I'm having this sort of pain in the back right side of my neck up in to my head that feels like a very dull headache that affects only the right side of my entire...
Does anyone know of a good Fibro/CFS doctor near the Memphis/Jackson TN area? My PCP thinks I have it but I'm having trouble finding a specialist in my area. He sent me to a Rheumatologist who run a...
Maggiemay, I just can't believe that I've had this illness for over 20 years and am just now realizing how complex it is and how many problems it can cause. Yes, I've had blood work done 3 or 4 times...
Hi Maggiemay, Yes, I am currently seeing a doctor and on synthroid for hypothyroidism. He has adjusted my medication three times over the last 3 months but I am feeling no better......still exhausted...
Thanks for the reply Judy. Yes, I am having major problems due to the hypothyroidism. I've had this for over 20 years but for the last six months have developed extreme fatigue, depression, achy...
Does anyone receive disability for hypothyroidism? If so, how hard was it to get approved. And what related problems did you have?...
