fibromyalgia

326947 tn?1252591233 As you can see, there is a lot of information here about fibromyalgia, and one of the most recent articles has the answer to your question. The pain is NOT "in your head", like so many doctors have told their patients. The problem is that pharmaceuticals are dangerous, yet the pain is so bad that patients just want to be relieved of the intense pain and are willing to try just about anything, including taking the pharmaceuticals.

1627868 tn?1333886342 I am more confused than ever. This doctor is a pain specialist, but also specializes in fibromyalgia, is a physiatrist, and actually seems to really know his stuff regarding other diseases too. Neurological diseases. He has written many papers/articles that have been published and teaches at a medical college, as well as travels to other medical colleges in different states to teach seminars. First off, I will say I absolutely loved him!
627818 tn?1271777026 I don't know how many of you get the National MS Society newsletter online but yesterday's version had some interesting articles in it. There is some good research and clinical trials going on, so I thought that was encouraging! I'm sure you can go to the NMSS website - it is one those org ending sites, and sign up if you don't already receive it.

Avatar f tn I was misdiagnosed with a multitude of illnesses and fibromyalgia was among them. Many people believe fibromyalgia really is Lyme. I would suggest you go to the ILADS.org website and read different articles. In addition email them and ask for an LLMD (Lyme literate physician) in your area. They will be able to tell if you have Lyme and treat it. Good luck!

217229 tn?1192762404 Dantini, a Florida otolaryngologist who himself has fibromyalgia, says he believes that fibromyalgia is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, herpesvirus 6, or parvovirus. He says antiviral medications work in 70 to 75 percent of his patients, along with massage and other therapies. Using Dantini's treatment method, most patients see their symptoms improve by "about 20 to 50 percent during the first four weeks," the book says.

Avatar f tn I have FM for over 12 years now, I've read numerous books, I belong to the National Fibromyalgia Network, The Fibromyalgia Association, and follow the latest research on many aspects of FM. These include, medical and pharmaceutical research. There is NO evidence that people with FM have brains that age faster. There is a neurological aspect to FM that can affect our brains. Our neurotransmitters may not be firing right to put it simply.

462570 tn?1273632977 s not a possible option for Fibromyalgia since Neurontin is used off label for many things including Fibromyalgia and was once targeted specifically for Diabetic neuropathy. As far as the neurotransmitter and the cerebral and synovial fluid theory you speak of- are you possibly referencing the ideas about the Substance P in the brain and the theories surrounding the oversensitive central nervous system (CNS)?

Avatar n tn My rheumatologist said that all my symptoms point to Fibromyalgia except for the fact that most (about 90%) of my symptoms are on the right side of my body. The pelvic pain is not specific to the right side and I do have some aches and pains on the left side of my body but I mostly hurt on the right side. Has anyone out there that has been diagnosed with FM had a similar experience? I am desparate to get a diagnosis so that I can start some sort of treatment.
