I've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, but over the last year I've been starting to wonder if it might be MS. I have an appointment with a Neurologist soon, but I hope to hear from you guys. The...
I went to my doctor because i have headaches, pain behind my eye, in my upper and lower gums, and under my ear and down my neck. The pain is usually all on one side. I also have a very bothersome...
Luvs: My feet only hurt if I'm NOT on them. I know that sounds weird, but as soon as I prop my feet up they start to hurt. It's kind of like restless leg syndrome. They do have microwave slippers. I...
Tango: Lol. I'm glad I could help even if it was an accident. Let us know how the treatment goes! Almost medfree: Electricity isn't a factor. I use an electric blanket all the time to deal with my...
I'd like some socks or slippers that are either battery or plug in operated. I've tried the microwave kind which are nice, but they don't stay heated long. Does anyone know where to get some good...
I use a heated blanket for my burning pain. It helps with some of it. You could also try BenGay cream....
I'll try your rayon clothing idea. My clothes drive me nuts no matter what I wear. As soon as I get home I switch to a over sized TShirt and sporty shorts. It's the only thing that's comfortable. I...
Sorry, I didn't realize Sherrine had started a similar post. I must have missed it. Thanks for mentioning it, I'll go check it out and get more advice!...
I get a crawling feeling often like a bug walking on my skin, and I also have a constant hypersensitive feeling all over my body. My hair and clothes bother my nerves extra. I can't explain it...
Tangodancer: Ha ha, thanks! I'm glad we have the same opinion there. Everyone: Thank you for advice and everything. I don't see the point in drinking juice all the time when I could just as easily...
tangodancer: You can take Gabapentin only when you want to? I thought that kind of medication has to build up in your system and must be taken daily. How does it work? Sherrrine: How does Robaxin...
I worst pains right now are in my gum pain and in my feet. My gums feel like tiny needles are stabbing deep into them. My feet feel like i walked on glass and got hundreds of cuts and then they are...
I'll start by saying I recently started making ginger tea. It has many benefits for our general health. http://www.newhealthguide.org/Ginger-Tea-Benefits.html I like to brew it with black or green...
Hi everyone! I thought it would be fun and helpful if we all post about the things that we like to do to relieve some of our fibromyalgia symptoms. It doesn't have to be relief for pain; it can be...
Sherrine, I'm glad you agree with me on this. You are obviously very knowledgeable about the condition and I value your opinion. I'm curious how many people are misdiagnosed with fibromyalgia...I...
*Also, I'm aware that certain vitamins that help with bone and muscle pain such as magnesium and Vitamin D and these can be found in foods. However, besides that, how does juicing supply extra...
[2] Someone recommended that I try juicing two or three times a day so I can help my pain and possibly go off my medication because they had watched a documentary on Netflix with a woman who "cured...
The bottoms of my feet burn a lot as if the bones are inflamed. I haven't had the problem in my hands though....
I already have a neurologist because my general doctor sent me to one recently for a brain MRI and analysis. My brain is fine, but I wonder if they scan the whole face when they do a brain scan. I...
AustenFan, My gum pain is mostly on on the bottom and almost always one side at a time. The gum pain sometimes coincides with pain in my cheek, around my eye, and sometimes my jaw. A lot of the time...
The symptoms are similar to a bad sinus infection, does anyone know what the difference is between the two so I know if mine could be sinuses? Obviously you all have been to the doctor and were...
Firefly, This frustrated problem along with the many others makes me feel crazy as well. It doesn't seem to make any sense. Has anyone had a doctor explain why contacts cause this problem but not...
Manda30, I'm sorry to hear you have this pain too. Like you, my pain has been nearly constant and it's been going on for a few months. Do you take medicine for it? What kind of doctor did you go to...
Sherrine, That condition does sound similar to my problem. The pain is usually on one side at a time, sometimes it's an achy feeling but then I get small sharp stabbing pains over my mouth, I often...
I have been to the eye doctor many times over the last few months trying to find the right prescription for me, but every time I try a new pair, my vision is still blurry enough that I can't see...
I had a root canal a few years ago but the pain is on both sides. I did have all my wisdom teeth removed around six months ago but my xray scans were normal when I went back in. I hope it's not some...
I've been to the dentist and he said everything I normal. My scans were normal and everything. The gum pain isn't just sensitivity, it's a pain like tiny needles stabbing me all over my gums. If it...
Does anyone with fibro experience gum pain like I do?...
Thank you everyone for explaining. Pressure changes makes sense. Before I was diagnosed, my general doctor ruled out Fibro when I told him I hurt more when it rains. He said that doesn't happen with...
Thanks Loring, That is a good suggestion. I live in Oklahoma and rainy season has just hit. I don't seem to get this sort of soreness when it's sunny, but when it rains or even might rain I tend to...
Has anyone asked their doctor about this? I've heard a lot of people saying that rainy weather causes extra pain for fibromyalgia sufferers. For me, it's a sore tightness down the back of my legs and...
Hi Heart, I think that must be the same situation for me. Everything I take, I actually feel a nice warm tingling feeling in my legs but not the rest of my body. It's not that it doesn't feel better...
Tramadol makes me itch all over but I deal with it because i'd rather be itchy than be in pain. I take a very low dose and it causes it still. I think all opiads make me itchy because I've taken...
Is it possible for my medicine to be helping my legs but not my feet or upper body? My Lyrica does seem to be helping all over a little, but my legs feel a lot better. No pain at all. I know you're...
Hi again Loring! I'm sorry to hear that you have the speaking trouble, but I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. People often think I'm shy or socially awkward, but the truth is that I just have...
Hi Sherrine! I did have a doctor check it out and she said there was nothing abnormal. It doesn't bother me much, I was just wondering if it has anything to do with Fibro. You're probably right...
Does anyone have a feeling in their ear as if it's clogged sometimes even though there's no extra wax in there? It happens to me randomly and usually starts when I first wake up....
Hi Loring, It sounds like you have had a rough time medical-wise. I don't arthritis or anything else besides Fibro so I'm not sure what is Fibro and what is just a random symptom that is not related....
Thank you all for sharing. Ia Lady: "vivid" dreams is a great way to describe it. I will use that from now on. They are so realistic! My doctor didn't mention that medicine that you are taking, but I...
Yeah I have already been diagnosed with fibro but since everyone's symptoms are different in just curious if anyone had the ones I do because I feel like mine are unusual. What meds did you take for...
I was also denied Cymbalta so my doctor put me on Gabapentin. I've been on it for 3 weeks and I have a little improvement but it's too soon to tell if it will really work....
Hi Sam, Do you have pain in the upper and lower parts of your body and on both sides? That is the main symptom of fibromyalgia. If your sister has fibro than that is a good indicator that you might...
I'm going to list all the symptoms I have; some of them I know are common and others I'm not sure if anyone else has them. I'm just wondering if these problems I have are a part of fibro or if I have...
I don't get dry eyes but I do have a problem with blurry vision. My eye doc gave me my prescription lenses and said I would be at 20/20 with them. As soon as I walked out though things were blurry...
Thank you everyone for the information and advice. I normally have great memory, but often it's like there's a glitch in my brain where I'm trying to connect to a word or memory and my brain has...
I just saw on my tube of Bengay that you shouldn't use it for over a week. I Googled it and found out that you can overdose on the active ingredient in it. Have any of your doctors told you anything...
Hi Midnight 04, Welcome to the forum and thanks for the reply to my post :) I am surprised that aspercreme works for you because it did nothing for me. I have the same problem with the hot/cold...
When I took the percocet I always broke the tablets in half. It killed my pain but didn't give me any side affects besides a little itchiness. The bengay helps me with the mild pain all over but the...
Thank you everyone for the replies. I have found that the only thing that does wonders for pain is opiates. My dentist prescribed them to after I had my wisdom teeth removed and I learned that they...
I am 24 and I normally have very good memory. It's just sometimes this weird memory problem hits me. My Vitamin D levels were at 27. He said normal range was 30 to 100. He went ahead and put me on...
