Avatar f tn At this time, there is no "cure" for fibromyalgia - one main reason being is they have not determined exactly what causes fibromyalgia. There are many thoughts and ideas on it, however, nothing has been scientifically proven/discovered. There also are no specific blood tests, scans, etc., for diagnosing fibromyalgia = there ARE certain critieria that need to be met before a true fibro diagnosis.

Avatar f tn At the moment there is little evidence that the XMRV virus actually causes the most obvious signs and symptoms of FMS. If this virus is similar to other retroviruses and causes immune system problems, then your symptoms may actually be caused by other co-infections or opportunistic infections that are present because of immune system problems.
Monster The descriptions of fibromyalgia symptoms read to me like a newspaper horoscope: the number of symptoms described can apply to just about any ambulatory human being. The typical medications indicated seem to antidepressants and pain relievers. Please give us the Clif's Notes version of fibromyalgia and if diagnosed, what are the treatments.

Avatar f tn You could have Fibromyalgia or an Under active thyroid (Hypothyroidism) have a look on the Internet and you will find most of your symptoms are listed in both of these medical issues. I suffer from both and there is medication and treatment. An Underactive Thyroid can be tested for in a blood test and you can get a hormone replacement and you are usually on it for life. In the UK this prescription is free.
Avatar f tn Chronic fatigue syndrome, mental stress are few conditions which can mimic fibromyalgia. Muscle weakness, pain ,burning pain and fatigue are few of the common symptoms of fibromyalgia. Medications like Duloxetione, pregabalin and Milnacipram have been approved for treating fibromyalgia.Duloxetine, Lyrica, and milnacipran are medications that are approved specifically for treating fibromyalgia. The goal of treatment in this condition is to improve sleep and pain tolerance.
Avatar f tn Low Vit B causes neurological pain and low Vit D causes bone pain. Combined the two can cause over all general fatigue and low feeling. Wait for the results. If they are low then correct supplementation will help relieve the symptoms. Also get a complete profile to rule out anemia. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

I live in Eastern Kentucky and I was wondering if there is any Fibromyalgia specialists around or close to kentucky? Do you have excessive weight gain with Fibromyalgia?
1075109 tn?1281835691 Better to ignore these labels and deal with whatever the real underlying problem is. Fibromyalgia is a collection of symptoms without a known cause, though there are a lot of theories, and I have mine, but it usually comes with emotional difficulty of one kind or another, usually anxiety and depression. If it's hard to treat, a hack psychiatrist will call it bipolar 2 when his treatments fail, as of course they very well might if the underlying cause is fibromyalgia.
Avatar n tn Fibromyalgia can last forever. There are treatments and even possible cures out there (research protocols). Fatigue, dizziness and so many other symptoms are common in fibro patients and in fact, 29% of fibro patients have a positive ANA titer. I hope that you will consider joining us on MedHelp's fibro/CFS board. I'm the Community Leader there.

302488 tn?1337551241 Hepatitis C treatment is extremely toxic. Sure I felt like I had fibromyalgia too after treatment. Hepatitis C treatment really weakens your muscles. Your body has many in the strangest places. This effect blew my mind at how sore I was. Before treatment I was exceptional strong and it's take the better part of two years to feel like my hips weren't going to pop out of their joints. Hepatitis C treatment seems to bring out the weakness in your body.
