fibromyalgia forum healthboards

with the recent XMRV findings, I wonder if it would be possible to separate fibromyalgia and ME/CFS (the recommended term for chronic fatigue) into 2 different forums. There are different issues between the 2 disorders.

s worth, I would encourage you to try posting your question in a couple other forums, too. I would try the Fibromyalgia forum and the undiagnosed symptoms forum. Maybe even the Rare Diseases forum. I think you'll have a better chance of getting your question answered.

So I went to the fibromyalgia forum and no one is there. People post like every other day or something there.

t have a neuro pain forum. We have a neuro member community, and an expert neuro forum, and even a Pain Management member community, but not a neuro pain forum. All of those forums are working correctly. Can you link which forum you are wondering about? We'll check it out.

Please consider googling "Co Cure's Good Doctor List". Also, we have a forum for fibromyalgia and CFS. I am one of the Community Leaders there and we would love to have you aboard ! Here's the link if you are interested: http://www.medhelp.org/forums/show/44?

what is fibromyalgia? i am curious. My mother n law suffers from it and i am just curious what it is.

Hi, new to this forum. I'm a Lean Type II Diabetic and don't respond to oral meds. I have been placed on Lantus and started that in Jan. 08. I run fastings in the 130s to 140s (on a good day I'll read out in the high 120s!) and depending on the time of month, what I have eaten and my pain level from fibromyalgia - my 2 hours are usually 140s to 160s. (Normally in 150s). My last HC1a was 6.1. Anyone else out there that is lean, type 2 and has to use insulin?

Can Fibromyalgia only effect the left side of the body? For the past year my health has declined starting from my ancle, spreading to my foot and toes to my calf and up my thigh to my arm and hand up to my shoulder, now I have plursey.

Hey Suzy. Welcome to the forum. Oxycodone @ 10mg injected will produce the SAME results as morphine for most people. I'm mentioning this to point out that these types of drugs are opioid drugs, potentially habit forming narcotic drugs. The fact that they are prescribed legally, does not make them any less dangerous than street drugs, other than the fact that their "quality" and strength are consistent with what they claim.

m seeing that there are many links between hormones and fibromyalgia as well as vitamin D and fibromyalgia. My vitamin D level is also low (17) , although I can't imagine why since I'm a dairy lover and get outside as much as I can. Just wondering if others have similar problems and questions? I can't seem to find a doctor now that understands any of this.

Hi I am pretty for sure I have Fibromyalgia some of my symptoms include Soar and stiff muscles in my legs and I just have a Flu like feeling all the time and also the pressure points you have. I have those also. Does this sound like Fibromyalgia to you.

you are correct. There does seem to be a connection to post Hep C tx and fibromyalgia however.

I suffer from fibromyalgia and neurophy daily. When the pain is severe I can hardly stand it. Are there any new approaches to this condition. I am taking vicoden, cymbalta, pamelor and neurotyn?

Does anyone who has been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia know of the best medication to take to help relieve the discomfort associated with this disease?

i have fibromyalgia amongst other complaints.fro about 2 years i have had a swollen abdomen-lumpy and tender which progressed to sore and protruding ribs.have had ct and mri scans which gave no clues.doctors seem to ignore symptons,now i have a feeling of tightness around my ribs and am sore all around them.it feels like ribs are digging in me.

there is a fibromyalgia forum, very helpful also

I just wanted to introduce myself and give you all a thank you...your posts and information have been informative. I have been "lurking" here for a couple of weeks, trying to find some answers. A little background: About 4 months ago, my daughter and co-worker started laughing at me after dropping my keys several times, one right after the other. I laughed it off, blew it off and didn't think nothing of it, until it started happening with more frequency.

I too have CFIDS/ME and on this forum, the majority of the subject matters deal with fibromyalgia. I too wish there was a separate forum which focused primarily on CFIDS/ME.

A was a regular on our MS forum, and starting the limboland forum was so needed - while some on that forum are still a part of us, I can totally see why it's important to not focus on one disease. I wonder if they will pop in and say hello too! I hope so :) To our limbolanders, I hope you take Mrs. A up on visiting that forum because we all need each other, and I'm sure some of you get sick of the MS focus now and again. Some new perspectives may be helpful too.

t bother me. There are facts and the fact is that some fibromyalgia patients are in wheelchairs. The truth never hurts... only our reaction to it does.

I'm sorry I haven't been on in a couple days; my life is pretty hectic right now....... I find that if I drop a few pounds, my pain is less, as well. Rest assured that you don't sound like a nut......... Looking over your post about arthritics and fibromyalgia, I hope you don't mind if I ask some questions........ What type of "arthritics" do you have? Do you have RA or osteoarthritis?
