1340994 tn?1374193977 In a recent study, the cause of fibromyalgia is actually an abnormality in the palms of patients' hands. It was found that patients with fibromyalgia have an enormous increase in the number of sensory nerve fibers within the blood vessels of the skin on the palms of their hands. So the next step is to find out why there are so many of these nerve fibers. It's a start!
Avatar m tn Recently, a randomized controlled study found that increasing vitamin D blood levels from a mean of 19 ng/mL to about 50 ng/mL was associated with a modest decrease in fibromyalgia pain (a 20 point decrease on a 100 point scale). The study involved 30 adults (mostly women) in Austria with fibromyalgia.
1221035 tn?1301000508 I just had a sleep study this week and my results are REDUCED REM AND DELTA SLEEP and ALPHA WAVE INTRUSION into delta sleep. In other words, I have 'awake' alpha waves firing during delta (deep) sleep resulting in non restorative sleep. As well, it took me 4.5 hours to ever get to REM sleep, then it was reduced. I am diagnosed with Mutiple Sclerosis, Complex Partial Seizures, Pernicous Anemia, Severe Migraines, Scolosis, and 3 herniated disc.
937868 tn?1570328281 A study found that women with fibromyalgia experienced a reduced flow of nutrients to muscles after exercise. Researchers speculated that this might be related to elevated levels of INOS, which stimulates increased levels of nitric oxide. A paper examining the recent theories on the cause of fibromyalgia hypothesized that oxidative stress may play an important part in the disease. The paper called for double-blind studies to be done on antioxidants in the treatment of the disease.

Avatar f tn While Big Pharma offers powerful, dangerous and largely ineffective drugs for the pain condition fibromyalgia, a new study finds the only prescription you might really need is a little yoga. researchers have found that yoga can offer a 30 percent reduction in fibromyalgia pain. That’s roughly in line with the “relief” offered by many drugs, and even better than some of them–with none of the risk.
Avatar f tn I am a 40 yr old female with PMH of fibromyalgia. I have had a lot of strange neuro symptoms the last few months: numbness, tingling, memory loss, migraines, blurred vision, severe depression, personality changes, etc... Was referred to a neurologist. Neuro exam quoted as "normal". Labs and MRI brain and c-spine orderd. Phone call from nurse two weeks later: Vit D was very low at 8.2. Was started on 50,000u 3x week for that.
4861077 tn?1360156139 Maybe a sleep study thru a good drs office. My first sleep study said everything was fine. The second showed restless leg, some sleep apnea and unexplained arousals. The second was done at a site connected to a neurologist my pain doc insisted I see, but their office said they also have to repeat studies when the 1st seems fine. My pain doctor won that bet with me. And do you periodically get vitamin D checked? Hypothyroidism is a common problem. Drs checking only TSH are WRONG.
Avatar f tn Is fibromyalgia and hypercoaguability related? I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia--(3 years ago)--but I also have a previous pulmonary embolism. The doctor who treated my P.E., said that she had to prescribe more warfarin for me than she ever had to for any other patient in her 20 year career. She specializes in treating post-operative emboli. Every week I had my blood drawn to gauge how much my warfarin dosage should be. Every week for months it was increased.

Avatar m tn Did they conduct a nerve conduction study, and EMG, check for an endocrinological cause, send you to a rheumatologist to check for fibromyalgia? Did any doctor check the peripheral vascular system with a doppler study to see if your circulation is working properly in your legs? Peripheral vascular disease can be hereditary and I seem to remember reading it can strike even in one's teen years. If you have had a lipid panel that demonstrated high triglycerides, etc.
Avatar f tn well just got back from lawyer apt and it didn't go well. It seemed as if he didn't believe in fibromyalgia even though he didn't say that. Said that all my test came back ok that it didn't appear that i have anything wrong with me besides my one seizure on my eeg. And that even if i did win since i don't have enough credits and i have to file for ssi and my husband works that i probably won't recieve much as far as a monthly benefit.
Avatar f tn I had been misdiagnosed many years prior with Fibromyalgia. I just have a strong feeling that fibromyalgia is in realty Lyme and Bart's.
1679858 tn?1346765181 Sleep study will NOT show CSF or blood flow issues. As for the pain, maybe fibromyalgia or Myofascial Pain Syndrome? just an idea.
Avatar f tn I recently applied to participate in a drug study for a drug being investigated for fibromyalgia. After the initial examination, the physician determined that I do not have fibromyalgia and ruled me ineligible for the drug study. I decided that if I didn't have fibromyalgia, I didn' t need the drugs I'd been taking for ten years. I gradually decreased the Elavil over a period of three weeks and have not taken any at all the last two weeks.

Avatar f tn Iam a mother with 2 young children and I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 4 years ago. Since then I have been suffering with extreme pain that never lets up. I am curious if anyone else has ideas on which medicines work better for pain. I also suffer from depression and anxiety issues. I also have difficulty sleeping, I feel so alone, because neither my family or friends understand my problems. They think I do not really have medical problems. I appreciate if anyone replies!
