fibromyalgia

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.
Avatar f tn A pain tracker is definitely already on our list of trackers we'd like to launch. Thanks for the suggestion and we'll let you know when it's available.
Avatar f tn I would think there would be another kind of med. My rheumatologist has me on Cymbalta to help with fibromyalgia pain,.
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 f tn Does anyone know of a doctor who will prescribe me methadone in low doses for my fibromyalgia. I've tried all kinds of pain meds, including natural and methadone is the only drug that gets me out of bed.
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 f tn theres times my pain is so bad i just cant hardly take it and although my doctor has me on pain med. it doesnt work so great all the time. i dont even know what to tell myself anymore. goodluck!
428266 tn?1295644780 I have pain all over my body and I can't sleep! I have had fibromyalgia pain for about 3 years now and the medication I've been on has recently been increased and this weekend the pain seemed to have increased even morem. What should I do? Should I switch my meds?
Avatar f tn NSAID, methotrexate, stomach med to protect from the NSAID, and folic acid to protect from the methotrexate side effects. Nice huh? 2 meds + 2 meds to combat side effects. My pain Mgmt dr is treating with narcotic pain meds, muscle relaxers, and sacroiliac joint steroid injections. I tried Lyrica a few years back, rx by my psych. It made me drip sweat 24/7. Uck! It was worse than my current profuse sweating problems that I think is due to a thoracic syrinx.
Avatar f tn Today I had to go to town and while driving I had the most sharp pain in the muscle part of my upper arms. Once I got home and took med they eased up quite a bit. Is this from fibromyalgia?
675329 tn?1297288378 t want to depend on this med. i was put on gabapentin 100 it does help me fairly well but i noticed some weight gain and i don't eat too much with this med. the dr switched me to zonegram when i read the side effect of it can cause a rash which can cause death i threw it out. then we tried topamax. i was on it one night. i also have to take serequel 100 for anxiety and wellbutrin 300 and buspar 7.
Avatar f tn Including the back of my heels. I do have chronic pain elsewhere that is consistent with fibromyalgia like in my neck and back, but the pain in my feet is very different. At night I have to hang my feet off the edge of my bed so they don't touch anything. Just resting on top of the sheets makes them hurt. I am 29 years old, female, 160lbs... Slightly overweight but only recently and because I can't be as active as I used to be. Any other questions that might help, please ask.
Avatar f tn I had myofacial pain really bad due to tmj. My dr. put me on an antidepressant called Nortriptyline and i was taking Gabapentin along with it and it really helped. I also take Ativan at night to sleep.
Avatar f tn since then i have been put on med s that had taken a long time to work and now i still have chronic pain and muscle damage in knee.. i feel the constant battle to get right.. can you tell me is there somewhere in Ireland I can go to get the help i need to get my life back as im really struggling with this !! im also fearful that il be in same position in 2 years from now and pumped with med s and painkillers..
Avatar f tn I have severe Fibromyaliga pain mostly in my back between my shoulder blades. The pain is so severe that without treatment I would need a wheelchair to get around. I've been taking Tramadol 100mg for 3 years but its slowly losing its effect and I'm finding my pain getting worse again. So I am now looking for either an entirely new medication or something I can take on top of the Tramadol to help ease the pain.
728965 tn?1266373645 I was wondering why there is a spot regarding your menstrual cycle in the mood tracker and not the pain tracker? As I have Fibromyalgia and Endometriosis, both causing pain, but the pain tracker doesn't have a real good area to tracker when pain is due to menstruation.
Avatar f tn Thank you so much for your response. Yes I am on pain med but I dont think it is strong enough anymore as the pain I am experencing now is on top of the fibro. I was on lyrca about 5 months with very bad side affects. I have been on several antidepressants but none help with the pain. I just had a ct scan and dont have the results back yet. Several blood tests and the only thing shown so far is a high white blood count. I also have autoimmune disorder I have my liver counts checked reguraly.
1577364 tn?1296689784 Let me introduce myself. My name is Traci. I am a new member to this forum. I have chronic back pain & fibromyalgia. What I a really need is some advice on controlling my pain. I have had injections with no help at all. Doctors do not seem to have any help for the Fybromyalgia. If anyone has any suggestions please reply. My life feels like hell on earth.
553995 tn?1332018840 I live in Canada. I take Tramadol for long term pain. Tramacet for break through pain. My main FM med is Topiramate (an anti-seizure medication). I take Trazadone for sleeping along with Elavil at night to aid with sleep and pain. I have a lot of problems with IBS so I take meds for that also. There that is my med file. I also am on Thyroid medication.
Avatar f tn Look up Low Dose Natrexone (LDN) and medical marijuana for helping with fibromyalgia pain.
