Fibromyalgia treatment over counter
Common Questions and Answers about Fibromyalgia treatment over counter
fibromyalgia
Hi,
How are you? I think you have a condition called over active bladder which causes, urge to urinate frequently, urgency and urge incontinence.
The usual treatments for this condition are pelvic muscle strengthening exercises, behavioural therapy and medication( detrol la) etc. Also, if you are urinating very frequently check the amount of fluid intake, check blood sugars and get a urine analysis with culture done.
An over the counter medication is any medication that can be purchased without a prescription "over the counter", but does not make the medication safer and needs to be taken according to the directions on the package and there is a need to be more vigilent and take into consideration individual health, the benefits versus the risks and potential interactions with any prescribed meidcations.
) I could also be a pleuritic type pain (inflammation of the area around the lungs). You may want to try an over the counter anti-inflammatory type medication such as ibuprofen to see if it helps the pain at all.
If it continues, I would most definitely get it checked into further - I dont' want to alarm you, but just because the testing done at the hospital didn't show any problems with your heart, it's still possible that there is something going on there.
I'm just very skeptical about the over the counter, get well quick type treatments. It does have a disclaimer at their site that says before beginning any form of treatment like this, to first speak with your physician. I just feel if it was as simple as taking a supplement (which i've tried before and it failed) that the reasearchers would have tested its validity and it would be FDA approved for use in these cases. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

LAST MONTH I FOUND OUT I HAVE FIBROMYALGIA. THEN TODAY I FOUND OUT THAT I HAVE SCOLIOSIS AND A LOWER LUMBAR HERNIIATED DISK.. I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING ANY SLEEP. MY DOCTOR WANTS ME TO HAVE A SLEEP APNEA TEST DONE. SHOULD I WAIT TILL THE DOCTOR COMES UP WITH TREATMENT OPTIONS ON ALL THREE OF THEM FIRST?
Tried countless over-the-counter and prescription drugs (antihestimines and painkillers), and not one helps an ounce.
Every doctor I turn to for help ends up saying that it's not their problem and rushing me out the door. Frustrating to say the least. I'm confused on who exactly I'm supposed to turn to next.
, a rheumatologist expert specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of fibromyalgia and chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain.
In the early years I saw a chiropractor who put my joints in place once a month, then I needed twice a month, then weekly, and now quite frankly I could use it daily. My son watched the chiropracter and he can put my back in place by walking on it. I used over the counter naproxen but at prescription strength. MRI's show areas of spinal stenosis, worse in the neck, and some degeneration of the SI joints. I had a heart attack and cannot currently take any NSAIDS.
Fungal infections also come up whenever there is moisture or temperature difference and Tinea versicolor can cause whole body itch. Over the counter antihistamines help and should be taken immediately. Calamine lotions and other over the counter preparations with camphor/menthol do help to reduce the itch. Try a soft cotton ball dipped in cool water applied over the itchy areas instead.
Last year, at the age of 42, I was diagnosed with stage 2, invasive lobular carcinoma. My tumor was 2.5 cm and I had a lumpectomy followed by a full axillary dissection (which was horrible) and then 3 months of chem (cytoxin & adriamycin) and 33 radiation treatments.
June 8 (my birthday) will be a year since I completed treatment. Along with other "fallout" issues of the treatment, my most problematic issue is my ongoing pain.
I had only once tested my hbsag quantity since my diagnosis two years ago. The test was done a few weeks ago and came out about 17000iu/ml. In other words quite high, that should warrant treatment immediately, in my opinion, though my dumb doctors won't put me on treatment yet. But I'm going to fight them and insist that I need antiviral treatment.
There are also several topicals that you can get over the counter. Some of these are Abreva, Releev, and Dermoplast.
In addition some people use natural remedies such as honey, which has been found to have antiviral properties. However, these have not been formulated, and have had no clinical trials, specifically to treat HSV.
It is a Rheumatologist who you must see for a fibromyalgia diagnosis and if positive,consequent treatment follows, prescribed normally by the Rheumatologist.
There is no effective standard medical treatment for fibromyalgia other than symptom management, by the way.
The suspected side-effects of the acupuncture cannot be attributed to the
treatment itself, as it cannot be verified.
Those " strange" side effects could be easily caused by stress alone.
Since nerve tissue can take many days to regenerate, it is likely that your pain will improve over time or might reduce completely. Simple over the counter painkillers like non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs, B12 injections may be helpful in reducing your symptoms. Other commonly prescribed is amitriptyline, an anti-depressant and carbamazepine that can help in relieving nerve pain when given in relatively small doses.
