fibromyalgia
Hi kit... I hope you will consider creating a Health Page. When you are having a good day, but of course !
And does anyone know of tendonitis and fibromyalgia connection. I got tendonitis throughout both arms and next thing I am told I have fibromyalgia.
I have been diagnosed w/ Fibromyalgia but I think it was incorrect because I have a highly elevated SED RATE and moderately elevated CK level. This has happened aapprox. 3 years ago when CK level was extremely high (<700) and normal SED RATE. The first time it cleared up by itself in about 4 months, this time I've been going through it since February. Each time I am very weak, tired and have painful knee ankle, foot, e wrist, fingers,elbows. ANA and RA is normal.
Does anyone know Dr. Harold Bowersox? Apparently Dr Bowersox used to work in the town where I work . Recently ads in our newspaper have started showing up stating that " You can be cured from Fibromyalgia!!" Dr Bowersox has written a book that I have ordered but as a person with Fibromyalgia and a nurse this ad sounds too good to be true. I right away discounted it but have talked to some people I work with who remember Dr Bowersox and say he was a good doctor?????
Help me!
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.
My Primary Care Physician suspects that I have Fibromyalgia, and I am not certain. I would like to go to a Dr. who deals regularly with this disease, to be able to know why I have so much pain throughout my body.
I know of one Dr. that I heard about through a patient of his, I overheard her talking about her Fibromyalgia, and asked her who is her Dr. She told me Dr. Elliot Kopp, in Raleigh. I am just not sure who to go to, can you help with that?
I know within the USA the National Fibromyalgia Association has a list of doctors who treat Fibromyalgia in each state. You do have to sign up, but the sign up is free. Their website address is: http://www.fmaware.
I have a severe case of Fibromyalgia (+CFS+RA), 10 yrs now. Same symptoms as you've described+ then some. Full on migraine is worst, cluster migraines &/or chronic headache too. If it is sinus it's chronic - follow Dr advice above and consider a neti pot also (chemist/health food store) adding celtic sea salt and bicarb soda (1/8 teaspoon each) into 300ml of boiled water. Cool to tepid and irrigate each nasal passage twice daily.
I was diagnosed almost 20 years ago by a rhumatologist (sp? - fibro fog). When I am in need of help, every complaint is "it's your fibromyalgia" and even when I was disabled on the job, was told it was "mostly fibromyalgia" and not injury so only got small settlement. The PA said "your fibromyalgia should be calmed down by December, (5 months from when statement was made).
The first thing you have to do is find a doctor who isn't a total idiot (yes, there are lots of them out there). I suggest seeing a neurologist or a rheumatologist. Rheumatologists are the ones who (supposedly) are the most qualified to treat fibro. My fibro dr. knows her stuff about my condition and the first thing she did was identify my tender points. if you don't know what those are, any fibro website can describe them.
My mother has been getting constant pains moving around her body within the abdomen, the chest and heart, arms, legs, back, base of neck, head, hand, fingers, wrist and now just recently it has began spreading into her eyes. She cannot sleep at night because of the constant pain. Everyday is getting worse and we've run out of options. Dont tell me to go talk to my doctor cause we are there every other week and he tells us the same thing, "Fibromyalgia".
Any one that reads this post can search my name on this forum and see that there are many. I have a neuro appt on Thursday. This will be the third neuro. My last one wanted to jump directly to a spinal tap after my last round of brain and spinal MRIs were normal. Never mentioned a EMG/NCS, or any evoked potential testing, so I decided to move on. I don't know what I have, just that I am completely miserable, everyday, with this razor burn feelings that I fell throughout my body.
I am writing on behalf of my sister who has been diagnosed with a SEVERE Vitamin D deficiency. She has every symptom of fibromyalgia and was actually diagnosed with it during a process of elimination a couple of years ago. She is now wondering if there may be a relation between fibro and vitamin d. At this point, she feels too sick to research this so I am searching for answers. Her symptoms include joint/muscle/bone pain, chronic fatigue, edema in her feet and ankles, and flu like symptoms.
I just recieved my kit today and was wondering which testing I needed to select. This is the very first Lyme testing I am having done. Do I just selsct the complete Lyme Panel or specific tests. Each test is rather expensive and I'm not sure I will get any insurance coverage so I wanted to be selective. Thanks for the input!
Yes I'm impatient and I'm wanting to go to target and get the gender kit. Has anyone tried it and results were accurate? ?
Had a normal period, had another that came a week early, decided to get the ovulation kit.
