fibromyalgia research program

http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/Fibromyalgia/The-Latest-Research-on-Fibromyalgia/show/520?cid=39 Be sure to keep checking for more information.... some of the research is posted on a research website for mostly medical professionals. It is the best way to stay informed and make sure that your physician is informed.

Did a dr. evaluate you for fibromyalgia? I know I looked at the picture of the fibromyalgia pressure points and didn't really know how to go about checking for them until a rheumatologist checked me. Some of your symptoms sound like fibro, and some sound like lupus. I would also go ahead and ask forthe rocky mountain and the lymes test. Did they do an ANA test?

Doctor finally listened and believe I do have fibromyalgia. Every trigger point she touched made me wanna jump out the chair. She said the anxiety medicine she has me on should help with the fibro...does anyone know about this??

Since your inflammation test came back high, there is something else going on besides Fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is not an inflammatory illness but it sure can develope from having an illness such as Sjogrens as its precursor.

I found this new research by Dr. Catherine M.Pittman - one of the foremost brain researchers in the country, to be interesting. We are finding through both animal and human research that the medication class of benzodiazepines may actually prevent learning, both neuronal and cognitive and may prevent long term anxiety recovery. Our work has shown that the neuronal process for learning and also the process for unlearning (called extinction) is slowed or prevented by this class of medications.

Fibromyalgia can last forever. There are treatments and even possible cures out there (research protocols). Fatigue, dizziness and so many other symptoms are common in fibro patients and in fact, 29% of fibro patients have a positive ANA titer. I hope that you will consider joining us on MedHelp's fibro/CFS board. I'm the Community Leader there.

I since have had to quit work all together, was able to pick up Medicaid through a state program and began seeing a Rhuematalogist again six months ago. Fibromyaglia diagnosed and Social Security applied for but not yet approved? I guess I just don't understand the sleep disorder diagnosis with all the meds and fatigue that goes along with Fibro and Lupus is there really a need for another diagnosis? Sorry for the long question.

I've had Fibromyalgia since I was a teenager and I have gone through one pregnancy already, but at the time I hadn't been diagnosed properly for the ailments that I have. It's now round two, I am pregnant again, and I'm wondering about good suggestions to help maintain lower levels of pain. Last time I was put on bed rest at 8 1/2 months and that was torture for my sciatica nerve. I'm trying to stay active and strong.

wonder how much it will cost???Vivitrol for opiate addicts costs $1000 a shot!who has that lying around?

I see that the med school there has a pediatric arrhythmia program of limited scope and no fellowship program for EP. My guess is that the principal EP is the one you will be seeing and that he will probably suggest an implant. Best wishes in getting your issues resolved.

i need good vitamins i have fibromyalgia and need energy. i live in pain everyday.

Hi I am pretty for sure I have Fibromyalgia some of my symptoms include Soar and stiff muscles in my legs and I just have a Flu like feeling all the time and also the pressure points you have. I have those also. Does this sound like Fibromyalgia to you.

Great fibro info ! Here is what Dr. Mark Shaw (author of "Beat Fibromyalgia and Fatigue") says about the possible triggers. I know I read the actual research study on this as well: Fibromyalgia/CFS can be caused by a whole range of factors. All of which, it is most likely your doctor or practitioner will not be able to diagnose.

Since we have conditions that are relatively new and often misunderstood in the medical field, there are many members here who do their research and share that information with the other members.

Hi, I live north of Milwaukee, WI & have been trying to find a pain doctor forever now. I have Fibro, CFS & Multiple Sclerosis... I was with a clinic & my pain doc moved out of state so I have to start over. I've tried several & they all say they can't help me b/c I'm already on some Fibro meds & the others haven't worked for me.

Isn't this great ? I did recently post a link to Dr. De Meirleir's new research that was presented at the International CFS/ME Conference in London: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Fibromyalgia---CFS/New-Research-on-What-Causes-CFS-ME-by-Dr-Kenny-De-Meirleir--MD-PhD/show/963052 I've read articles written by Dr. DeMeirleir in the past. If I remember right, he is the founder of Red Labs, USA (now called VIP dx)....

So I saw my Dr today and he diagnosed me with fibromyalgia and Im just not sold on the diagnosis. He says the lack of sleep from the fibromyalgia is causing the difficulty breathing. Has anyone else of heard of this because I cant seem to find anything showing where these 2 are related.

William Reeves and his associates need to be removed from the CDC/CFS program and replaced with people with an understanding of CFIDS. Reeves WANTS to promote CFIDS as a psychonutjob illness and NOT a real, physical disease since his gravy train depends on Emory University Psych Department (where he is an adjunct even though he is NOT a psychiatrist) and with ABT Associates.
