fibromyalgia

1830047 tn?1321667793 NoLights, thank you for sharing your info. I never knew this about migraine. I always thought of them as only head related. I had for a while had tightening in my diaphragm for days with pain. At the end it would kind of explode upward and cause me to be in a fugue state, coherent but not able to communicate. Could that be migraine? It was always post stress. Buffy, any time I see a post I can relate to, it's you LOl. I take Topamax also. I have had migraines since puberty.
1413564 tn?1281822991 If you have any prescriptions, they told me I could take my ultram (I have Fibromyalgia) with the benadryl and nausea med (Have it for side effects of FIbromyalgia) and it works like a charm. Weirdest thing too, because I have had migraines for 15 years and this worked pretty fast and didn't make me totally out of it. It was kinda cool.
Avatar f tn There are many other treatments for both migraines and fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia years ago. I was like a cripple trying to get dressed. Taking a small dose of Trazadone helped me some. Over the years, I kept increasing it which cured most of my symptoms. There is a new fibromyalgia med called Savella which I read praise after praise on another website. Also anti-depressants can serve as pain killers.

Avatar f tn I also get migraines which start at the back of my neck and go up to the very top of my head. Mine last a couple days by the time they are totally gone. i cannot take migrane meds because of all the other medication I take. I take opiod painkillers for my condition so that's what I use for my migraines but it takes quite a while to work. I don't finish sentences and can't remember words but because I have fibromyalgia, they call it fibro fog.
Avatar m tn I also suffer from fibromyalgia as well as the migraines caused by my stroke. Trazodone has helped my fibromyalgia greatly. With your other pain, you could try to get some pain killers, except that any pain killer taken more than 2 times a week promote rebound migraines which are even worse. None of my pain killers have ever helped my fibromyalgia at all. Let me know more about you so that I might be able to help you more. I wish you the best.

Avatar n tn I have serious vision issues, pain, fatigue and lately cement legs that I am not sure what the heck is going on. Complicated migraines or migraines in general can and do cause certain vision problems. I am not a doctor but I know today my vision is more then migraines. We won't even get into my cognitive issues with brain fog! ;-) Found this thread and now I can see both this one and MS. Oh gosh did I answer the question?
Avatar f tn Well, I have Fibromyalgia, and most people with Fibromyalgia have to be concerned with possibly being diagnosed with MS--initially. Certain foods will still sometimes cause the painful parasthesia, but not always. I have eliminated the majority of the foods that I know cause this. If you have the functional bowel disorder that usually goes with MS, you will probably want to go gluten free and dairy free.
Avatar n tn I have a difference of opinion with my diagnosis from another specialist. Besides this condition I have suffered from extreme migraines and fibromyalgia for years. I also sometimes experience dumbness in my hands and feet. My hands sting like there are little needles in them. It hurts to even hold the steering wheel of my car. Are either of these a result of Autonomic Dysfunction?
Avatar f tn Dear Dr.... Hello again...I've been doing some more reasearch..I've been trying like crazy to come to some conclusion as to why I have been suffering with the chronic muscle pain in my neck and at the base of my skull and upper back. I've had joint swelling and stiffness.

Avatar n tn I recently have diagnosed with MS, chronic Fibromyalgia, myalgia, and Chronic severe Migraines. I am going to a pain management clinic. I get injections of Lidocaine steroids. So far I find they are not working and end up in more pain. then I should be. I've been told that I will be on some pain medication and steroids for the rest of my life unless I go into remission.. I'm take all kinds of vitamins as well.
Avatar f tn I also have fibromyalgia in addition to spine problems. I will be taken off of all anti inflammatories and steroids for a minimum of six months to promote healing and good fusion. If I take narcotic pain relievers, I find that it will trigger a migraine within a week. My current meds are Bystolic, Motrin ( will be discontinued), Zanaflex, Halcion, Benadryl, and Compazine. I also take supplements that include a multivitamin, Olive Leaf, Vitamin D3, Omega 3 Fish Oil.
Avatar f tn Fibromyalgia. Knee pain and clicking; Fibromyalgia. I feel like finding all new doctors and not disclosing my Fibromyalgia, just so I can get an oppinion not fogged by Fibromyalgia. How do you get a doctor to see beyond the Fibromyalgia, and take other concerns seriously.
Avatar f tn I have been tested for diabetes and my blood sugar is normal. My mother was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and CFS about 10 years ago and I know we experience many of the same symptoms. I mentioned this to my PCP but he didn't take the idea into consideration.

Avatar f tn I saw the Neurologist two months later (just recently the 18th of feb) She was surprised that the propanolol is actually holding off the migraines, with a few breakthroughs ( I had 4 this month already, last one lasted 5 days) So, she checked with another dr and stated I have fibromyalgia and concurred that is was ok to up my dose on the current medication I am taking so instead of 10 mg, 2x a day, she has put me on 60mg of the propanolol 1x a day(so far, so good).
969042 tn?1259067775 She doesn't get migraines, but for a healthy and active person she experiences unusual fatigue. She is starting to make links with food and physical upsets, she knows about her cats and dust. We have had poor success with doctors so far. However I like your suggestion from before about a naturopathic doctor, there are 3 in our city. Since I have IBS and gallstones and many food sensitivities do you think it's possible to be inherited?
Avatar n tn finally my neurologist diagnosed me with complicated migraines, and prescribed me topamax about a year and a half ago. Since then he has boosted the dosage twice, and now i actually do have headaches everyday and my back continues to hurt even though he told me i would be only taking this medicine maximum two years. The pain in my back and neck has affected me alot and gets in the way of alot of my activites. do you think the doctor is wrong? i have an appt with him on the 30th of this month.
