543791 tn?1216381777 I've seen a few posts about how to help your family understand Fibromyalgia. I decided to write a little letter in my journal if anyone would like to read it. I think it was some what therapeutic for me to write, and I hope it may be something that could help those struggling for validation and acceptance. God Bless you all, I love being part of this community, you're support has been more than helpful!
Avatar n tn There is no mention in any significant source about association of Benign Fasciculation Syndrome (BFS) and Fibromyalgia. There may be a possibility though, as some authorities claim a viral etiology (cause) for both these conditions. Hope you feel better soon!
Avatar m tn They claim to have a therapeutic vaccine V5 for Hepatitis B. As stefano170669 said, they never published in a respectable journal. It is a very strange company.
Avatar f tn Keep track of any thoughts of that nature as they are of concern and if they do occur it would be best to inform your psychiatrist. In the meantime find something you do enjoy that is positive to occupy your time. Also keep in touch with friends and family even if you dont feel comfortable discussing what's happening specifically. Its always good to have a network of support.
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!

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) November 28, 2013 Patients with life-long infections of the hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses tend to develop Fibromyalgia (FM).
Avatar f tn I want to know w/out seeking help via a counselor or therapist, if keeping a daily journal would help cope and rid these anxieties that i've been feeling since May 2012? I have seen been seen by my doctor and was medically cleared. He suggested perhaps therapy or counseling would help, however, one is not afforded at the moment. What other remedies can help me deal with this as time goes on.
Avatar f tn Is there a connection between fibromyalgia and the ability to manage dental pain during procedures? I had to have some cavities taken care of last week - the dentist had to do four rounds of novacaine in addition to the topical analgesic and it had no effect on the nerves. He even gave me the maximum amount that could be administered. I'm also curious if there is a link between tooth decay and fibromyalgia.
Avatar n tn One of the symptoms we suffer with is jaw pain and teeth pain. You can go to my journal pages and see what we have gone through the past year. Lyme disease will make you magnesium deficient. It is worth looking into.
644974 tn?1312758070 Are you trying to write a journal through the Journal interface or through the Tracker interface? On My MedHelp, on the Journals panel, you should see a link that says, Write a new journal entry. If you click that, you should see a form that has text boxes for Title, Journal Entry and Tags. Do you see that?

799468 tn?1237578886 There are thousands of people out there with condiditions that need traacking and discusing with other who have the same conditions as they do. I would like to see trackes on serure disorders, fibromyalgia, GERD and metaplasia (something I know nothing about but really need to.
Avatar f tn My ligaments were large and arthritic and wrapped around things so he had to take them down a bit. He said that arthritic ligaments can be a sign of fibromyalgia(?). So if I still have pain I will get that checked out. Not one headache yet! My tinnitus is almost gone! My neck is stiff and very sore, but they don't want me to do much more than movements I can tolerate until the staples are out (9 more days). So I consider it a success at tis point.
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.

Avatar n tn I am only 25 and have all the symptoms of fibromyalgia, CFS and MCS. I am unable to get out of bed some days but because of my young age my doctor is not seeming to take me seriously. He tests my thyroid and iron levels and many other things, but has not sent me to a fibromyalgia specialists. Also I have not been able to get disability cheques, so I am on government assistance:(. Does anybody more experienced have any advice for me? This can be quite stressful.
1290770 tn?1272075535 Why do you say you're a self proclaimed hypochondriac? As for the cymbalta, I took it with no problems & iI have a very long history with bipolar disoder & depression. It didn't make me feel any more suicidal than I had before. The suicide risk is typically higher for teenagers who take the antidepressants. As for continuing the yoga, go for it. Moderate exercise is beneficial for fibromyalgia.
Avatar f tn There are many other treatments for both migraines and fibromyalgia. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia years ago. I was like a cripple trying to get dressed. Taking a small dose of Trazadone helped me some. Over the years, I kept increasing it which cured most of my symptoms. There is a new fibromyalgia med called Savella which I read praise after praise on another website. Also anti-depressants can serve as pain killers.

Avatar n tn Sally, ultrasound treatment for fibromyalgia would not work. Fibromyalgia is a widespread disorder comprising of several symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disorder, widespread muscle and ligament/joint area pain, depression, cognitive disorder and so forth. I am a sufferer of over 30 years. I know well the risks involved with NSAIDS.
