Avatar n tn Have you ever considered Fibromyalgia? When I first started getting sick, that was one of the first symptoms. I had it in my head and legs. It was mostly dismissed by everyone.
Avatar f tn Because many of us also have chronic pain and carry the Dx of fibromyalgia, its use might be of interest to us. Wikipedia has more info.
Avatar n tn One thing to note, I have Fibromyalgia. My G.I. doc says a LOT of people with FM have GI problems. FM is caused by a genetic liver/kidney disfunction, so there could be a connection.... Does anyone else with these symptoms ALSO have Fibromyalgia? Has anyone found ANYTHING to succesfully treat the GI symptoms mentioned above? There is no cure for Fibromyalgia, but there HAS to be something to at least TREAT the GI symptoms!
Avatar m tn There is a possibility that you are suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome which usually occurs after a viral infection. Other possibility is fibromyalgia which is although more common in women but can occur in men too. Both these conditions can cause muscle twitches. I would suggest you to discuss these possibilities also with your treating doctor. In the meantime you can apply ice packs and make sure you are mentally relaxed. Do keep us posted!
Avatar f tn You would need to see a neurologist. Wikipedia has an article Peripheral neuropathy with a long list of possible reasons for numbness/sensitivity.
Avatar f tn Wolfe now questions the validity of fibromyalgia as a disease. He considers fibromyalgia a physical response to stress, depression, and economic and social anxiety, and believes the associated symptoms are a normal part of everyday life. In 2009, he wrote, "the tendency to respond with distress to physical and mental stressors is part of the human condition.
Avatar f tn I also have severe shoulder pain, worse in my left than in my right, and fibromyalgia. The pain is from the fibromyalgia. If it continues to bother you, I would ask your doctor to check it to rule out injury. Don't rely on diagnosis on here, as many people do not understand fibromyalgia and all of the associated symptoms.
2191023 tn?1338763943 I also have other conditions that may be considered co-morbid with the GA, to explain in very short words- Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Hashimoto's Disease, Reynaud's Syndrome, Hypermobility Syndrome among numerous other disorders. I have had no concrete all encompassing diagnosis, for more details please see my profile or message me. I am desperately searching for alternative GA treatments, and am looking for any ideas or suggestions.
Avatar m tn I don't know if this is a myalgia question or fibromyalgia question, but I recently was in Thailand and have been back for a few weeks. Anyways, I have had pretty bad myalgia to the point where I am popping pills left and right and just freaking out at the amount of cramping pain...no matter how much I stretch or how much water I drink I feel like my muscles and joints are tight and not working. RIGHT now my left hand is beginning to throb with pain!
706949 tn?1228923298 I take it your reference article is in Wikipedia. From what I've seen there on heart subjects there is a lot of "good stuff", or so it appears. I understand too that some (much?) of what's there is from voluntary contirbuitons. That said, I recommend you discuss with the prescribing doctor and let s/he know you've see such-and-such as a point-of-reference ... it may even be a good idea to print out the material and take it with you.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, It's been over 6 months now since my mother and I had the flu and since then we have both suffered with muscular problems and tiredness.
Avatar m tn Definitely take Tuckamore's advice and see your primary care physician. Pain is the body's way of saying somethings wrong. Severe pain is surely a sign of a problem. Good luck with whatever it is causing this, and please let us know how you make out.
681148 tn?1437661591 briefly addresses a connection with Fibromyalgia and Hypermobility Syndrome, which often involves hip and shoulder dysplasia (also discussed separately in the book). He mentions a study in which 40% of pediatric patients with Fibro also had hypermobility. Another study showed hypermobility was more common among adult women with Fibro. So, I would say it's probably not uncommon at all. (I have no other percentages info).
Avatar m tn But given different benchmarks as below 1. Wikipedia and body.com say ars temp can be mild but freedom health says ars fever are high temperature 2. Wikipedia and many websites say acute hiv symptoms occur 2-4 weeks after exposure but body.com says ars can occur upto 2 months. I agree that symptoms are variable. Shall anyone give clarity on above.
Avatar f tn I have read a lot about "invisible cuts" permitting the entry of HIV. Take a look at wikipedia and masturbation. It states that "tiny mico tears" can allow for HIV to enter the body. Is this bs? Or true? Under what circumstances is it true?

This part of the migraine is called a Migraine Aura. You do not need to have a headache to have a migraine.
597183 tn?1226814437 Probably a stupid question, but I read on Wikipedia that if you have >1000 PVCs per day, it can cause enlargement of the heart? Just worries me a bit, because I probably definitely have over 1000 a day.

Avatar f tn I have fibromyalgia and so does my mother. From what I have learned it can stay the way it is now for the rest of your life or it can get worse. Try to stay on a daily routine sleep when your tired and don't overdue yourself, the best you can do is take good care of yourself hoping to help it not get worse. Very true, as bad as it gets for you.
