has anyone had experiences with meds that make their fibro worse? my doc has been experimenting with meds lately, trying to get me away from "addictive" medications, and i have had some really nasty...
i live in a very small, isolated, town in northwestern canada, so a lot of the usual resources aren't available. but i'm making notes and will take them to my dr. thanks to all for the information...
he keeps saying "i still think it's Lyme" but then does nothing. i have no issue with him wanting to investigate, only he never does. meanwhile i have been dx'd with ME, FM, plus a cluster of other...
my GP keeps insisting that i have Lyme disease, yet has not tested me nor asked about my history regarding how i could have gotten infected. i have been very ill (disabled) for over 20 years with...
hi. i'm kind of confused about some of my symptoms. my muscles are almost all extremely rigid (what a dr called "toned"), yet i have lost a great deal of muscle strength. my dr keeps waving this...
oh, i see i missed that part about it being only in your legs and that you have spine troubles. it sounds as if it must be terribly painful. i hope you are able to find some kind of relief soon! it...
thank you MoogMan. i will add you to my prayers as well. :smurf:...
bless your heart, prayers are always welcome. in the past 25 years i have prayed often and been prayed for often, and have seen a lot of things drs don't believe can happen. a lot of the people who...
Denim said... Sami, so sorry, just seeing this now. It is criminal. I see my husband and KNOW, this is NOT a light matter and from writing people on facebook, I see people have them at different...
i can empathize with both you and your husband. i'm slighly improved from where i was 30 years ago, but am still housebound and mostly bedridden, with nearly all the symptoms on the ME list. it's...
i know what you mean! with the way i can develop allergies so quickly, every time i'm given an antibiotic i wonder if it's going to be one time too many. i also hate the way they make me feel for...
i think i'd take whatever i can get :smile: i've seen men's t-shirts with a vee neckline, so if i could get a couple in black (white makes it really difficult to get away without wearing something...
LOL! yeah, me too! we deserve them in my not so humble opinion. i don't know if i can post a picture here, but i saw a tiara a few weeks ago which i think would be just the thing :smilewinkgrin:...
first i want to apologize for including so much quoted material; i can't figure out how to break it up so either end up leaving it all in or "snipping" big chunks. like i said, we don't have a...
LOL! my mouth is practically watering at your descriptions. i don't know where i'd find an Old Navy (do they even have any in Canada?), but i'm definitely going to keep my eyes open for these shirts...
i never knew that (duh obviously LOL!) there's no Wal-Mart here, but i do have a relative who lives in a bigger town where they have one. i'll see if i can coax him into picking some up for me. when...
hi. i'm sorry i somehow missed this one before. i spend a lot of time trying to figure out why my feet are always so darned cold, and i think it's partly low blood volume and party due to...
i'll have a look. i've been tested for Lyme at least three times a year for the past 12 years or so (just as i have for low thyroid function and Lupus) and never tested positive, but i go along with...
i know what you mean about other people being able to relate. i spend a lot of time wishing no one had to live with this stuff, but since there's a lot of us, it's great that we can at least connect...
i used to get really awful ear and sinus infections all the time, to the point where i was starting to think of antibiotics as a food group :rolleyes: i do remember that during those times i'd lose...
every day would be jammies day in my house if i never had to put on daytime clothes for company or to go out for whatever reason :yeah: :smurf:...
golly, so much of this could be me talking! i'm always so sorry when i hear about how much people suffer with this blasted disease (and the other diseases or problems that come along with it) but at...
hi Shirley. thank you for the kind welcome. i think i should apologize for diving in without stopping to introduce myself. i've been feeling pretty rough lately, and when that happens i kind of...
hi Laura, well I'm really glad you don't have the facial issues; i always hate to think of other people having to live with this stuff :shakehead: i know what you mean about the stuttering and...
my dr thinks i may be showing symptoms of very early stage Parkinson's Disease but i'm not so sure. i looked up the symptoms, and i have lots in common, but most of those apply to Fibro and CFS as...
i have been joking about turning into the princess and the pea for years, so when i saw this first i thought oh good, i'm not alone. then i thought oh geeze, someone else has the same problem. my...
