fibromyalgia

Avatar f tn Hi! I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. I have horrible pain and my doctors are trying to work with me to find a treatment that doesn't involve heavy pain meds. I have serious issues with my digestive system and so most pain medicine such as vicoden(sp?) or any of those types constipate me. I was hoping for a natural suggestion to talk with my doctor about.
Avatar f tn I had three normal pregnancies with Fibromyalgia. Actually, my symptoms (aches and pains) were minimal with the pregnancies. The more you worry, the more you hurt. Just take your vitamins, minerals and do your exercises as directed by your doctor. You will do just fine.

Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. But also my doctor said that my vitamin D level was low so she put me on 50,000 units of it.

Avatar f tn Today after seeing my neurosurgeon and him telling me he cannot do anything to fix me because nothing is showing up on my scans, I almost broke down and cried because no one seems to know what is wrong with me. I researched Fibromyalgia and discovered a lot of the symptoms I am having. I thought I was to young to have this, I am only 22. I am wondering more and more if this is what I have.
Avatar f tn In 2007, the Food and Drug Administration approved Pregabalin (Lyrica) as the first drug for the treatment of fibromyalgia. In June 2008, a second drug, Cymbalta, which was previously approved for treating depression, was FDA approved for treating fibromyalgia as well. In 2009 the FDA approved milnacipran (Savella) for the treatment of fibromyalgia. Perhaps mention these to your doctor at next visit. Best wishes!

710094 tn?1229308706 Less blood could be flowing to your brain and/or it is overwhelmed by pain signals .

Never loose hope , we are in this together , you will feel better soon .
Avatar f tn Because of your age I am reluctant to even suggest any treatment protocol. Many multi-vitamins are ineffective for a variety of reasons. I would recommend a separate dose of D3, but avoid taking too much. Incidentally, some multi-vitamins do not contain the D3 varient.
Avatar n tn I also assume that many of the extrahepatic symptoms that HCV+ persons have are part of the Fibromyalgia complex. Maybe when we consider people with HCV that are symptomatic, we are really just talking about those whose HCV has triggered the FM...thus the array of debilitating sx. Maybe some with HCV are just lucky, and their infection does not trigger the syndrome. I also agree that people who have been diagnosed with FM should get tested for HCV immediately.

1722607 tn?1335747858 What are good vitamins/supplements to take? I'm not in treatment yet, and wanted to know what I can take while waiting to treat. I've heard people mention milk thistle. What about vitamin c or d?
Avatar m tn I spent some time at the mayo clinic seeing various specialists and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia basically because they just couldn’t find anything wrong with me so I struggle with accepting the diagnosis. All tests and bloodwork seem to come back normal except a moderately elevated anti-histone and slightly elevated liver enzymes. My testosterone is near the very bottom of the normal range which I feel is unusual for someone my age.
1184051 tn?1264435308 Yes, I understand. Completely. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia about 4 years ago. My symptoms are Headaches, Fatigue, widespread pain, and sleep problems. I had every test that you could think of. They all came back negative. Alot of doctors don't take fibromyalgia serious, but then on the plus side alot of them do. I have been lucky enough to find a doctor who takes fibromyalgia completely serious. I live in Kentucky, and I see a doctor in North Carolinia.
Avatar f tn I was just diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, I have some osteoarthritis and have had a hip replacement 4 yrs ago, in the last year I have becomed very fatigued, muscle pain especially in arms, shoulder area, hands and feet, I have very little energy to go to gym anymore, I heard that 50% of people with fibromyalgia also have low thyroid, even though my thyroid test shows normal, could thyroid medication help?
Avatar m tn 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.
