Avatar f tn Thank you for your response. Actually we had different insurance at the time of my previous New York surgery. Our prior insurance was very helpful due to the fact we had everything documented that no one else was able to help. Since we switched insurances, not by choice of course, the new group is saying it is out of network and so on.
Avatar f tn They tend to get so many requests that they review and call those they feel they can help....if they do not feel u have chiari u do not get a call to come in. That is what I was told almost 3 yrs ago.

Monster Many patients with fibromyalgia feel that their joints are swollen, although there is no visible inflammation of the joints (arthritis). ### FIBROMYALGIA TESTS — There are no specific laboratory or imaging tests used to diagnose fibromyalgia.

937868 tn?1570328281 A review of dozens of separate studies found that the central sensitization associated with fibromyalgia may be caused by stimulation of pain receptors in the muscles that causes changes in the spinal cord and central nervous system. These changes are strongly dependent on nitric oxide. A hypothesis presented in one journal proposed that abnormally elevated levels of nitric oxide within the central nervous system generate high levels of peroxynitrite, an oxidant product of nitric oxide.
1036535 tn?1278502599 I had my LP done Thursday. It's Monday and I'm slowly recovering from headache. Made it through a meeting w/ son's principle, though I had trouble focusing. Luckily we will meet again at beginning of next school year, too, so I will hopefully be more clearheaded for that one! Is drowsiness and dizziness normal when headache lets up? I'm pretty sure my test will be negative. I've been regretting the decision to do it since the day after, when I started feeling bad.

Avatar f tn Hello, Magnesium deficiency is connected to bone and muscle issues, as well as many other conditions. It relieves the pain, and maybe it can also prevent and reverse this problem, as it has for other health conditions. Here is a review of magnesium from vitamin website: "I take one magnesium citrate pill a day and my hip arthritis pain completely goes away. It works in hours, not days or weeks.....
Avatar f tn t imagine ANY job you could possibly do with your limitations, and I think that very much needs to be reiterated. It sounds to me like you got a very prejudiced review by people who have probably seen far too many fakers...or at least have decided that they're all fakers.
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 f tn I am 25 years old and am being treated for osteoarthritis (fingers, knees, elbows and toes) and mild fibromyalgia. A friend of mine told me about the hypermobility type of EDS. I do have loose ankles that like to give out on me, flat feet, easy bruising, scoliosis, irritable bowel syndrome and hyper mobility in my toes, elbows, fingers and thumbs (they extend farther than they should). However, my skin is not elastic or velvet like. Could this be EDS even without the skin abnormalities?
193609 tn?1292180293 All the cardio machines have a 13 inch TV on them, and have the Dish Network! I love working out there and their weight machines are great! I also just started Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred! that 30 minute video will kick your butt!! I recommend that to anyone that gets bored after a while...this video is short and to the point!!!
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 f tn That got me appt with a rheumatologist which resulted in me learning I was low on Vit D and possibly had Fibromyalgia. Got a second opinion this year - rheumy #2 says definately not Fibromyalgia - she believes it is neurological. So after 4 years of pain and uncertainty I found a new GP in Dec 2009(not an easy feat in Canada) and she says she thinks it's MS. I get into a neuro in Feb and have my MRI and now I am off to see Neuro #2 to hear what he thinks and if he can help me.
Avatar f tn I had my tests done two days later and another consult that same week to review results and talk about further options. I went in very overwhelmed but left feeling far more educated on the infertility process. Good luck to you!
5520965 tn?1506009040 You mentioned, in another post, that you were thinking of seeking an out-of-network referral to Stanford. I think it might be time to pursue that. I think that if you were getting what seemed to you to be adequate care, that your anxiety would be greatly alleviated. I notice, in looking over your previous posts, that a prevalent theme is anxiety about your lack of access to expert care.
Avatar f tn MRI was on neck and brain, no chari according to the MRI report. Like I said, as of now, we have more questions than answers. I haven't been told much of anything other than I don't have fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel or ms after the neurologist did a nerve conduction study. How do you find someone who deals with it? The ones on your list are out of network on my insurance, and for right now with the rising medical bills, my husband wants to stay in network.
