Avatar f tn We will just have to sit back and wait for that to happen, pay attention to the medical journals and research and be really good advocates for ourselves and each other in the mean time.

Things will get better.

Avatar f tn When I asked if it could be MS he said no, the lesions for ms are in a very specific area of the brain. He finally agreed to give me a spinal tap based on the lesions and the symptoms.

Avatar f tn In last five years I was told I have hardening of the arteries of the brain and now PAD in my legs. Is this the same as ischemia.?

Avatar f tn com and type in firbromyalgia. There is a news letter that comes out every Friday afternoon that you can subscribe to.

Avatar f tn s and they are not working. Do you think the weakness in the legs is a symptom for fibromyalgia and how about the hip pain is that the same from fibromyalgia?

709619 tn?1230161475 It has now been over a month since that time and the swelling is still there. The pain is worse and spots on my back are aggravated in the mornings.

Today is especially bad. I'm using a rolling walker to get around.
