fibromyalgia research questions

Let me know if you have any questions. I think it is incredible research. I hope it helps many of you.

Almost 2 years ago, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia along with trigeminal neuralgia. My doctor has given me Lyrica and Savella and it seems as though the medication was helping but, the medication does not help with the severe pain and the severe pain episodes that I am having.... The pain gets so unbearable that I just roll around and cry.... I have been do the emergency room so many times for the pain and not being able to sleep or lay down...

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.

I came upon this site accidentally...and was reading some of the questions and answers. How can you offer medical advice if you are not in the medically field?

But because of this I have so many unanswered questions. For a long time I dread taking showers. The water whether warm hot or cool actually hurts my body. I ache to even think of it. I even avoid them all together on weekends.My Bad episodes of pain and fatigue come and go but my hypersensitivity to water is with Mr always.

Hi ! I'm sorry to hear about your possible fibro diagnosis. I can't answer most of your questions, because I don't have fibromyalgia (at least not primary)... but I'm sure our other members will chime in and be able to share their experiences. In my opinion...the best physician for fibro or CFS... is one who knows about these conditions and reads the latest research on these "syndromes".

I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for over 10 years now. I've had health problems my entire life. I've been all over Louisiana to just about every Dr for everything but cancer and prostate checks. How many of you really understand what fibromyalgia is? Have you just come to terms with the diagnosis and accept the situation because of exhaustion from all the labs, x-rays, drugs and what pure misery that you are going through? I know exactly what that's like to go through.

I have to write a research paper for my current class. I chose to write on the effects of Chiari on the family. Would anyone be willing to asnwer some interview questions? I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, I saw a recent news report on th benefits of hyperbarric treatments. They use it to help with a variety of things. One things they mentioned was fibromyalgia and similiar conditions. I was wondering if anyone had heard or experienced anything about it helping treat Chiari pain?

LOL ! Well since Prof. Nicolson's research covers many illnesses, he will be answering questions tomorrow in his new ask a doctor forum. I'm not sure if he will be answering future questions... but he will be here tomorrow. Autism is listed in the forum and he and his team members have done research on the role infections play in autism patients.... also treatment options. I hope you will be there tomorrow... from 12:00 - 1:00 PM (or later) (Pacific Time).

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.

Leading experts and I am sure there are some, 2 that I knew of and went to, one has retired the other is doing research only in fibromyalgia. His name is Dr. Andrew Holman. If you ever get a chance to look up any of his research. He is excellent. The other doctor retired. He believed a low dose thyroid medication help FM pain and symptoms. I've been on it since and most recently stopped and I am not on iodine supplements. It's been amazingly helpful.

Greetings doctor I am actually doing a research paper on HIV for school and with so much info online from one end of the spectrum to the other I figure I would ask a specialist directly a few questions so here it goes... 1-with testing now a days would you consider 6-8 weeks conclusive? 2-do you believe rapid tests are just as reliable as lab based? 3-do you feel oral rapid tests are just as good as blood? 4-what are the most common symptoms you see with onset of HIV?

I need to get answers to a few questions for a research project on Thyroid Disease (prefferably from an expert or doctor)...I would be seriously grateful if these questions could be answered.. 1. What is the most common cause of Thyroidism? 2. Do you think there are enough effective treatments? 3. I understand Thyroidism is more common in women but at what age are they likely to develop it and is there any common cause for it happening at that age? 4. Do you think homeopthic remedies work? 5.

I thought I would start a new post because I have a ton more questions after my doctors appointment. My doctor has basically decided that I have CEBV which he states is basically CFS. He also says that there is nothing that can be done and that I just need to get more rest. I already feel guilty that I take naps during the day and that I don't spend as much time with my kids as I want. I finally convinced him to refer me to a Rheumatologist. So now for my list of questions: 1.

everyday there are new pieces, but they only create more questions, and still no answers! I am fairly intelligent and able to research, with a decent amount of understanding, but I'm just not finding any answers! My recent bloodwork, consistent with previous bloodwork, shows a positive ANA with 1:320 titer, and a nucleolar pattern. But the puzzling part is the antihistone antibodies 7.
