Avatar f tn apparently you havent read too many of the threads. I've not see anyone give medical advise. we share our experiences. there are quite a few people on here who seem to know more about fibromyalgia and CFS then most M.D. most people on here do not want "sugar coating" but the truth and as sad as it is there are people with fibromyalgia and CFS that are in wheelchairs..
Avatar f tn I recently posted regarding some tingling and numbness in arms and B12 or diabetes was suggested. I have since started taking B vitamins and have been very careful about what I eat. I have also been exercising everyday. The numbness and tingling has gone completely away - however, I still have severe muscle pain in both forearms. Can this be related? It has only been 3 weeks since I started the vitamins.
1353650 tn?1429463374 My sister just got diagnosed with it and it has been causing her to have fibromyalgia and elevated liver enzymes. My sister also lost her gall bladder for unknown reasons. My mom has it but hasn't officially been diagnosed and suffers from elevated cholesterol and high blood pressure. She has always had mild pain and fatigue ever since her late 30's. She thought it was from work and getting older.
Avatar f tn fibromyalgia, bad gut health, menopause, mental health and anxiety as I’ve tried treatments for most but no luck.
Avatar m tn Following a good organic diet for borth migraine and fibromyalgia helps and avoiding stress. I have blackout shades in my home and NO FLOURESCENT BULBS!!! Warm baths are great. I've been watching some research at Stanford and hoping for success there. It's non narcotic and inexpensive. You can catch a youtube film about it by looking up stanford fibromyalgia. Good luck.

Avatar n tn I am 50 years old and was diagnosed with fibromyalgia brought on by menopause. I have gained weight and lost so much muscle. I am so motivated to lose weight but nothing works. I have turned to a vegan lifestyle, walk 2.5 miles a day, religiously count my calories, and drink at least 48 oz of water a day if not more. I lost 1 pound in 2 weeks!!! Can anyone relate to what I am going through and give me some helpful advice...please???
Avatar f tn It was extremely painful and it started when my sugar levels became normal. My sugar levels are fine now and I will never let them become out of control again. I did try capsaicin but it didn't help much for me. Thank you for your responses.
Avatar m tn No processed sugar ( White sugar) and no artificial Sweetners and so fizzy drinks that are full of sugar, preservatives and colouring.
Avatar f tn I also have Type II diabetes dependent on insulin injections. I take Lyrica and Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia. I would be appreciative of any help!
Avatar f tn It is very common to feel tired with chronic pain from the osteoarthritis and the fibromyalgia and you do need to pace your day so that you do not over exert and over tire yourself to the point of exhaustion. Easier said than done, I know, especially as you are working person. Hope you get sorted out soon. Best wishes.

Avatar f tn But clean up your diet (no sodas, caffeine is lesser amounts, low sugar, etc.) and see what improves. I hate to see people run to the doctor and slapped on a kazillion medications to relieve symptoms when diet change might have been the answer for them all along. No one likes the diet change, but many times, that will help the situation. If it doesn't, then go for the medicaitons. I hope this helps!
Avatar f tn Whatever it is, I hope you have someone who will do this for you. Warm baths, LOW refined sugar diet, SUGAR is toxic!!!!, and try to avoid emotional drama trauma at all costs. God bless.
470168 tn?1237471245 t the brightest in the world, but they care about their patients and actually spend time with you instead of trying to kick you out the door in 15 minutes or less. Oh, and I am on both a lupus med and a fibromyalgia med... I am taking Lyrica for the pain, which has been recently approved for fibromyalgia. It knocks a lot of pain out, but I warn you if you aren't on it... it makes you gain weight if you don't watch what you eat.
Avatar n tn HE PUTS LOUD MUSIC AND MAKES LOUD SOUNDS OF A SHIP HORN AND PUTS THOSE SOUNDS THROUGH A MICROPHONE, WAKES ME UP AND MY HEAD IS POUNDING WITH PAIN. CAN HIS NOISE AFFECT MY FM? CAUSE I GET WORST WHEN HE STRESSES ME OUT WITH THAT AWFUL SOUNDS HE MAKES.
Avatar f tn I have Fibromyalgia and can only work three days a week with days in between and have to sleep 12 hours and two short naps during the days off. This year if I do too much during one day, my upper back spasms into a neck/shoulder pain spasm and causes migraine, and I am bedridden. The only thing that provides relief is a hot bath and codeine and 2 muscle relaxants and one gravol. It has only been that bad for one year.
1353650 tn?1429463374 Thanks for all information I too have severe hypoglycemia I have fibromyalgia/ chronic fatigue and a lot of pain. I was a firefighter medic and working 30 plus years on the job a lot of orthopedic surgery and later was dx with fibro it has got to the point where the pain and fatigue is so bad its badly interfering with my daily life..
Avatar f tn My sister started taking Cymbalta for Fibromyalgia and her appetite dropped a lot, and just a few months later she was pre-diabetic. I have read some other people's comments saying that going on or even going off of cymbalta has really messed up their blood sugar. some people even say that it made them diabetic. so if you are on cymbalta, just watch out for some of the pre-diabetes symptoms and tell your doctor about any weird eating habit changes that happen.

Avatar f tn Abstract Abstract Criteria for fibromyalgia developed from the conceptualization and hypotheses of Smythe and Moldofsky in 1977 and gradually evolved to a set of classification criteria endorsed by the American College of Rheumatology that emphasized tender points and widespread pain, measures of decreased pain threshold.
Avatar f tn Hi all, I posted this question a couple of weeks ago and got good answers, but I am now a little confused as I have had blood tests done - blood sugar (fasting), B12, liver and kidney function, all normal. The pins and needles now come and go but the brain fog, (mainly not being able to finish sentences) is quite bad at the moment. I am due to have nerve conduction studies done on the 1st. Any ideas as to what could be happening would be well appreciated.
