fibromyalgia

2128874 tn?1335442182 My reactions always entail widespread sharp muscle pain (I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia), extreme fatigue, brain fog, depressed mood (this is very serious...). Sometimes the reactions entail tremors and abdominal pain. I think I've always had these symptoms to an extent, but perhaps, they've worsened with academic pressures and age. Is the solution simply pinpointing and removing certain foods from my diet or is there a name for this?
Avatar n tn In order to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia, you must experience pain in at least 11 of 18 specific tender points on your body. It is best to be seen by your PCP when you are experiencing a flare. I would not wait months to be seen and evaluated. There are some medications available that can help you through a flare. Lyrica is one of them. Warm baths and gentle exercise may be helpful. So good luck to you. Please let us know how you are doing.
Avatar f tn muscle and/or joint pain, debilitating fatigue, headaches, memory loss, difficulty with concentration. Patients with fibromyalgia often have chronic fatigue syndrome as well. Coginitive behaviour therapy is quite helpful in chronic fatigue syndrome and you can go in for this. There is no medication available that can treat CFS specifically, but different medicines like pain killers and antidepressants are quite useful.
Avatar n tn It seems that once a month or every two months I have had a headache on the left side of my head. Not debilitating, it feels like pressure, some pain, sometimes my ear hurts(have been looked at by ENT) and my arm and leg on that side sometimes feel strange. Not numb, just strange. I have Hashimoto's and fibromyalgia. I became worried today because when I lifted something heavy the migraine pain felt worse but has subsided.
Avatar n tn What can be done about the chronic Fibromyalgia pain when I am allergic to pain medicines or the pain relievers do not give relief.
Avatar f tn I take Opana ER which is an extended release pain med and I take percocet for breakthru pain. I also take Lyrica for nerve pain, Trazadone and Flexeril at night to help with sleep and muscle spasms, and I am on Zoloft and bloodpressure meds. I went a long time with no pain meds then to Tramadol then to Lortab, etc.... I have very high pain levels on a daily basis plus I have a high tolerance to meds so the weaker ones never worked well for me.
Avatar f tn t really sound much like fibromyalgia pain - that pain is typically widespread and not just in one area (although certain areas can feel worse at times than other areas). It also usually affects both sides of the body pretty equally. It sounds more like maybe a shoulder injury (have you fallen or stretched your shoulder at all? heavy lifting?) I could also be a pleuritic type pain (inflammation of the area around the lungs).
Avatar n tn I suffer from fibromyalgia and neurophy daily. When the pain is severe I can hardly stand it. Are there any new approaches to this condition. I am taking vicoden, cymbalta, pamelor and neurotyn?
Avatar m tn I had high risk exposure with a sex worker. I guess I just want to ramble at this time since this is all I can think about and that I am still confused about primary HIV and oral thrush. Here is a rundown of what has been happening to me so far for anyone who reads. I will update and also test results. Days after possible exposure Day 1: Red spot appeared that was a bit painful on the tip of my tongue. This was the start of my panic.
10222464 tn?1408714548 i sometime have a kind of dull pain that comes over my body from the neck down it last for around a half hour could that be Fibromyalgia can it show in blood work i am 43 i get chest pain also
589008 tn?1218705768 Could you possibly create a tracker for pain levels for those of us with fibromyalgia? This would be great to take with me to my doctor appointments.
1033336 tn?1252506131 The characteristic feature of Fibromyalgia is a muscle pain mostly in neck, back, thighs, and hips. There is presence of specific tender points in these areas that trigger the pain. Along with this there is morning stiffness in the muscles, brain fog, dizziness and other neurological symptoms. Since you are suffering from pain specifically located at the joints, and it started after the flu, the pains are related to the viral infection.
Avatar f tn I like you had all the tests, MRIs never showed the excruiating shoulder blade pain I was living with or the bone crushing lower back pain, i have the gamut of symptoms sciatic pain, the joint stiffness, the lack of sleep, skin sensitivity, headaches, leg weakness. Let my story be a tale of caution to you as you navigate finding out what is causing your pain.
Avatar n tn I just wwant to know if this terrible fatigue and all over pain will go away soon, I am on pain meds and muscle relaxors and sleeping pills, that are not helping also my fusion is not coming along as fast as the surgeon thought it would Thanks bdm92
Avatar f tn Find a doctor that will work with you to ease the pain. Find one that believes fibromyalgia is real. It is easier in this day and age to do so. A few short years ago, not so much. My doctor (a few years back) looked at me like I had a mental condition when I told him my skin hurts. Finding a shower head that didn't feel like piercing needles was a task, but finally figured that out. It is hard to explain pain.
Monster ### FIBROMYALGIA SYMPTOMS Pain — The primary symptom of fibromyalgia is widespread (diffuse), chronic, and persistent pain. The pain may be described as a deep muscular aching, soreness, stiffness, burning, or throbbing. Patients may also feel numbness, tingling, or unusual “crawling” sensations in the arms and legs.
