1536712 tn?1294043301 I've been suspecting for some time that the weather/changes in weather affect my symptoms. I've been far worse for the past couple of days than I was for a week or two before that - and it just occured to me that after having stable cold weather for weeks, we have had rainy weather for two days now. Milder and wet. Coincidence? Anyone else with the same experience?
Avatar n tn I am a 22 year old female and after doing a bit of research it sounds as though I have several symptoms that occur under fibromyalgia. I have had throughout my entire life a bizarre amount of muscle problems and pain. In recent times (last 5-6 months) I have had occasions where my body and skin hurts so much that even my shirt is hurting it. This isn't an everyday, or even every week, event but it has happened probably 5 or 6 time.
Avatar m tn Recently, I've noticed 8-9 floaters. Should I be worried? Is it going to get worse? From what I've read, floaters in younger people are located in the premacular bursa but what exactly causes it?

1290770 tn?1272075535 I was just diagnosed today with Fibromyalgia. The doc sent my blood in and will know by Thursday if everything else is eliminated, but she said she's pretty sure it's Fibro and "severe depression". She prescribed Cymbalta, which I started taking today (30mg for a week, then 60mg for two weeks, then go back to see how its going). Problem: I'm a self proclaimed hypochondriac, so after taking my first Cymbalta, I'm sitting here waiting to have a seizure or something.

1170694 tn?1285097509 What you describe can be a symptom commonly seen with Lyme disease as well. You may want to have this evaluated. Fibro is not commonly found in teenagers. But it can happen.

Avatar n tn My 16 year old daughter has been diagnosed with hypothyroidism (TSH 11.96) and was put on 75 mg of Synthroid. She has terrible fatigue, headaches and trouble concentrating. After 2 1/2 weeks on the replacement hormone her symptoms have worsened and now her neck is so sensitive that she can't wear shirts that have a collar. After repeated calls to the doctor he increased her dosage to 100 mg and told us to wait for the medicine to take effect.

Prostate problems and UTIs are more frequent in patients with Fibromyalgia . Hope this helps you . Take care and regards !

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 n tn He had no memory as to putting them there. Yesterday I put in some laundry and then later put my clothes in the dryer. I left the house. He then came home and did his laundry and when it came time to dry them he took my clothes out and put them in a basket without folding or hanging some of it up. I came in and asked who did that and he swore it wasn't him. I knew it wasn't me nor my wife so that left him. He swore up and down that he didn't do it.
