fibromyalgia blog

This is not a question, but I wanted to post my blog on here for other people to read if they wanted to. I had a hard time finding a chiari blog that was kept up to date and was current, so I wanted to start one not only so that i could have record of everything, but also so that other people could read my story and see that they are not alone in this fight. This is the blog I started in April.

I think this is the blog you are talking about. It is excellent. You can see there are many, many pages of valuable information. Plus it is written very well and has some humor too. http://hep-free.

had bone spur on shoulder, tendonitis bursitis,arthritis it would pop and lock up, went to chiro for ultra sound and tens treatments, it helped but i had bone spur removed got frozen shoulder, using tens and u/s it helps me. so this may help you? i shop here holistichelp.net /blog/fibromyalgia-relief-the-natural-way webmd.com /fibromyalgia/features/diagnosing-fibromyalgia-common-misdiagnoses lgmedsupply.com/mustun.html vitaminshoppe.com/ bobredmills.

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.

I am 25 years old and am being treated for osteoarthritis (fingers, knees, elbows and toes) and mild fibromyalgia. A friend of mine told me about the hypermobility type of EDS. I do have loose ankles that like to give out on me, flat feet, easy bruising, scoliosis, irritable bowel syndrome and hyper mobility in my toes, elbows, fingers and thumbs (they extend farther than they should). However, my skin is not elastic or velvet like. Could this be EDS even without the skin abnormalities?

Hi, I'm a nineteen year old girl. I've been experiencing pain all over for quite a while now. When I say all over, I really mean all over! Every day a different area hurts, like stabbing pain or pressure, with only a few areas that hurt every day without fail. Recently I've been experiencing a loss of appetite. When I think of food, it's nauseating. When I'm actually hungry, I become nauseated after the first bite or two.

I have also been diagnosed with asthma, acid reflux, celiac intolerance, fibromyalgia, and severe chronic constipation. In 2000 I had a series of surgeries which did not help. It is now being discovered that all of the other conditions are connected to the untreated AS. Does anyone know more about these connections? My rheumatologist says she has never heard of a connection between AS and bowel problems but I am finding it all over the internet.

This is so interesting..especially to me as a person with "possible Fibromalgia".

I'm a 45yo female diagnosed with PTSD, Panic Disorder, Fibromyalgia, and depression. I recently lost my grandma, who raised me most of my childhood so I could get away from abuse of all types. To make a long story short, I've overcome a lot in my life and I've been cleaning for 8 years now. I started having panic attacks about 4 years ago when my mom died of cancer.

I've had Fibromyalgia since I was a teenager and I have gone through one pregnancy already, but at the time I hadn't been diagnosed properly for the ailments that I have. It's now round two, I am pregnant again, and I'm wondering about good suggestions to help maintain lower levels of pain. Last time I was put on bed rest at 8 1/2 months and that was torture for my sciatica nerve. I'm trying to stay active and strong.

1. exercises - which mental or physical exercises do you do that help you the most 2. medications - which of the meds/vits etc.that you take do you believe helps you the most 3. strengths - where do you get your strength from to get through your toughest days 4. goods - do you feel any good has come from fibro (ie: i found the artist and much more in me) 5.

hang in there.i too have been on pain meds for years.ive only just recently joined this site but can tell you the people here have alota good advice.for me the first step i took was cancelling my next pain clinic app. an let them know i was gonna try to not be on them anymore.as i said in my first blog here,i still had a few left when i did that an that i knew when i got sick i was gonna ask myself Why the hell did u do that?sure enuf thats wat happened. that was the addict talking.

The question of endorphin deficiency is interesting. There's a blog on the internet that is about that and the author says that some people have good success with Low Dose Naltrexone. I've tried it and it definitely increases endorphins. It's not a magic fix for mood disorders, but it might help some people. Some who use it for Fibromyalgia and MS say it helps with pain. Check it out.

Other posts on this site are helpful, feel free to look at them but my blog is easier http://all-n-your-head.blogspot.com/ So I've been undx for about 2 years, my life isnt the same. I am only 21 years old and have a beautiful 8 mnth old but can not enjoy life. I have lost friends and messed up relationships because I cant do what I used to enjoy. tingling in my face, scalp, neck, hands.

I had lyme disease that the doctor thought was later stage lyme, Had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, probably after the first lyme was ignored, and now years later I had microscopic colittis. I have severe degenerative arthritis that is destroying my spine. I think everything goes back to lyme disease. I only had the 28 day antibiotic treatment. Please help me if you have any ideas.

I'm frustrated! I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia many years ago, but think it's something else. Eyesight problems, hearing problems, kidney problems, back pain, joint pain, abdominal pain and swelling, and just about every symptom of MS. Negative ANA. Just need someone to talk to! Any advice/support is greatly appreciated!!

I really liked the black guy who sang Deligha ( remember he had the cute baby at auditions) what is his name I hope he makes it,.,I like the blind guy too...and the little country girl with blonde hair...willl blog more after the show tonight...gotta love it!!!

Hi guys! I just got my diagnosis from Dr. Rekate from the Chiari Institute, and boy am I happy! He basically listed all of my symptoms even crazy ones that don't make any sense and gave it a name. It's called Sara Syndrome, its Ehlers Danlos, Fibromyalgia, Cranio-cervical instability, Chiari, and Dysautonomia or POTS all wrapped up in a neat little package.

I was reading through this blog for the same reasons it seems you are. I don't have the extremely severe symptoms others mention, but suffer "enough" to cause problems functioning from severe fatigue and brain fog, sometimes muscle or joking aches and pains. Over 20 years ago my blood panel showed EBV antibodies, but not active. I had been diagnosed with severe clinical depression, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, etc.

1. exercises - which mental or physical exercises you done that have not helped - or made worse 2. medications - which of the meds/vits etc.have you taken that you feel have not helped at all 3. frustrations - when do you get most frustrated with your body, yourself, others(ei dr, family etc) 4. bads - what and/or who do you feel has least helped(hindered) you in your fibro journey 5.

640 is considered high. I even read one blog by a rheumatologist that said it is unlikely that if a person has that high of a reading , it is unlikely that they DON'T have an autoimmune disease. However, my ENA was negative. I had these tests back in March of last year and they were exactly the same. I have wide spread muscle pain, joint pain and extreme fatigue ( these were what sent me to the dr in the first place) trouble walking, and going up and down stairs.
