636136 tn?1228644380 Hello Tish and welcome to MH. Anxiety is a common problem in fibromyalgia and contributes to pain, muscle tension, and irritability. It can make depression and insomnia worse. Various medicines including antidepressants and muscle relaxants treat anxiety. Benzodiazepines such as Klonopin, Ativan, and Xanax, are commonly used medicines. These medicines also cause sedation and thus can improve sleep.

Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and have taken different medicines and nothing seems to help. Some help me sleep but that's it. The worse thing to me is the fatigue, I feel like I'm exhausted every day all day !! I also recently have something new happening, My legs will start itching then a bruise will appear on my top thigh, not a normal looking bruise but like little purple and black dots. I have 3 now in about the past 3 months.
Avatar n tn I have acute pain starting from my rt. nostril bone to the back of my rt. eye. Its a stabbing pain in the rt. eye to the extent that I feel like vomitting. Alcohol immediately triggers this symptom.
Avatar f tn Another possibility is fibromyalgia. Too much anxiety too can precipitate such symptoms. Migraine can be treated with medicines that can help prevent an attack. Certain antiseizure medicines like Depakote and Topamax seem to prevent migraine too. Also certain anti depressants like amitriptyline, nortriptyline etc are known to prevent migraines. Maybe you could discuss this with your doctor and change the prescription of drugs you are taking.
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 f tn There are anti-seizure drugs that are also good nerve medicines, they are not combined with Tylenol, and they are given to people who have fibromyalgia-like pain, for example. Among those nerve drugs are Neurontin or Lyrica, Topamax, Tegretol, and Dilantin.

Avatar f tn It is a neurontin that works on nerves that create the pain of Fibromyalgia. I started out with a low dose and he has me continuing to add in doses until the pain is under control. Today is Monday and I feel 50% better. Also, Tramadol is recommended for pain relief with Fibro. He said opiates such as vicodin, oxy, morphine don't work well on nerve pain. Fibro is believed to be caused by over active nerve receptors in the brain so the gabba works to calm them down.
Avatar m tn Hello, Fibromyalgia (FM) is a disorder classified by the presence of chronic widespread pain and tactile allodynia(pain on touchiong).Stress, excessive physical exertion,lack of sleep and change in humidity may precipitate it.
Avatar f tn After much blood work, many hospital visits and an abnormal MRI, my neurologist told me I have Fibromyalgia. He then sent me to a rheumatologist who was COMPLETELY against diagnosing someone with Fibromyalgia. He instantly took me off the nuerontin that I had only been on for one month. I then returned to my neuro advising him that my symptoms continued and some were worse.
Avatar n tn I was to my Internal Med Dr. yesterday. I had pain in my big toe. I was tested for gout and it came back negative. Now the pain has moved to my ankle and elbow.( I should probably tell you I have polymyalgia and fibromyalgia) She told me I problably have .....big long name of a disease, but means "Travelling pain". I know gout, medicines and my other illnesses can all cause this type of pain. These can all be easily tested for and something can be found to be of help.

Avatar n tn I HAD A CERVICAL ANTERIOR DISCECTOMY IN DEC 07 AND IN FEB O8 I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH FIBROMYALGIA. I KNOW I HAVE IT CUZ I HAVE ALLLL THE PAIN. MY QUESTION IS COULD THE SURGERY I HAD BROUGHT ON FIBRO. THEY SAY INJURY OR TRAUMA TO THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM COULD BE A CAUSE. BY THE WAY, IT WAS MY C6/7 I HAD FUSED AND I HAVE HAD NO RELIEF OF SYMPTOMS OR PAIN AND NOW THEY TELL ME MY C5/6 IS HERNIATED.
