1340994 tn?1374193977 So I would say that poor circulation causing hand pain or maybe other causes of hand pain also can lead to body pain. I will say I never had a diagnosis of fibromyalgia because when the areas of pain were counted (back in the 1990s) the number wasn't high enough. So not fibromyalgia, but I had a lot of pain and all these years later, after treating my problems, the pain is gone.
Avatar m tn Recently, a randomized controlled study found that increasing vitamin D blood levels from a mean of 19 ng/mL to about 50 ng/mL was associated with a modest decrease in fibromyalgia pain (a 20 point decrease on a 100 point scale). The study involved 30 adults (mostly women) in Austria with fibromyalgia.
Avatar f tn Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder that is characterized by diffuse musculoskeletal pain and sensitivity to mechanical stimulation. In this pilot clinical trial, we tested the effectiveness of low-dose naltrexone in treating the symptoms of fibromyalgia. DESIGN: Participants completed a single-blind, crossover trial with the following time line: baseline (2 weeks), placebo (2 weeks), drug (8 weeks), and washout (2 weeks).
Avatar m tn Study: Hepatitis Linked to Fibromyalgia; polyDNA Recommends Gene-Eden-VIR Against Latent HCV and HBV Published: November 28, 2013 7:49 AM A study published on September 25 in The International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine found that Fibromyalgia (FM) “prevalence was found to be as high as 25% in a single study of hepatitis B virus (HBV) carriers (1).” polyDNA recommends Gene-Eden-VIR to help the immune system target the latent HCV and HBV.
Avatar m tn You can have a polysomnogram or sleep test done to detect Obstructive Sleep Apnea, as this is independent of the problems you now have. But the chronic pain from fibromyalgia and herniated discs can also cause insomnia or sleeplessness. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
937868 tn?1570328281 A study found that women with fibromyalgia experienced a reduced flow of nutrients to muscles after exercise. Researchers speculated that this might be related to elevated levels of INOS, which stimulates increased levels of nitric oxide. A paper examining the recent theories on the cause of fibromyalgia hypothesized that oxidative stress may play an important part in the disease. The paper called for double-blind studies to be done on antioxidants in the treatment of the disease.
Avatar f tn While Big Pharma offers powerful, dangerous and largely ineffective drugs for the pain condition fibromyalgia, a new study finds the only prescription you might really need is a little yoga. researchers have found that yoga can offer a 30 percent reduction in fibromyalgia pain. That’s roughly in line with the “relief” offered by many drugs, and even better than some of them–with none of the risk.
1679858 tn?1346765181 Sleep study will NOT show CSF or blood flow issues. As for the pain, maybe fibromyalgia or Myofascial Pain Syndrome? just an idea.
6336938 tn?1380529307 Both are functional disorders. In one study, 32% of people with IBS also had fibromyalgia symptoms compared with 4% of people without IBS. Another study showed fibromyalgia occurring in 20% of people with IBS. And studies have estimated 32% to 70% of people with fibromyalgia also meet criteria for IBS. Regards.
Avatar f tn I haven't been given a diagnosis yet, but I am low on Vitamin D and now have to take vit D every week. However, my rheumatologist said he is ruling out eveyrthing else to determine if I have fibromyalgia. I have been dealing with muscle joint pain for almost a year, it's getting worse, and there's quite a bit more symptoms, but I'm not gonna list them all just yet. I was just wondering if there is anyone who has Fibro that DOES NOT have fatigue that much.
4861077 tn?1360156139 Maybe a sleep study thru a good drs office. My first sleep study said everything was fine. The second showed restless leg, some sleep apnea and unexplained arousals. The second was done at a site connected to a neurologist my pain doc insisted I see, but their office said they also have to repeat studies when the 1st seems fine. My pain doctor won that bet with me. And do you periodically get vitamin D checked? Hypothyroidism is a common problem. Drs checking only TSH are WRONG.
Avatar f tn I just wondered if anyone else had heard about such a study. I suppose I was wondering if the blood thickness was controlled, perhaps the fibro pain could improve. (Hoping for anything, I suppose.) I was asymptomatic during by treatment with anticoagulants. Zero fibromyalgia pain during those 9 months. Thank you for your reply.
Avatar f tn A discussion of fibromyalgia wouldn't be complete without considering what SV40, the monkey virus in the polio vaccine does to glial cells. Suffice it to say, SV40 doesn't just cause cancer. That's pretty much it's final stage, it does much more to get there.
Avatar f tn I am hoping someone reading this can give me added insight. The most recent problem I have been having is a sensitivity to pressure. And I haven't been able to get any answers. It's my right side mostly being affected. bra straps and waistbands really irritate me- and it's not pain. It doesn't hurt. It's the pressure against my skin. It drives me to distraction, literally. This started 6 years ago. I've been to my doctor, on multiple occassions throughout the years.
Avatar f tn I take Opana ER which is an extended release pain med and I take percocet for breakthru pain. I also take Lyrica for nerve pain, Trazadone and Flexeril at night to help with sleep and muscle spasms, and I am on Zoloft and bloodpressure meds. I went a long time with no pain meds then to Tramadol then to Lortab, etc.... I have very high pain levels on a daily basis plus I have a high tolerance to meds so the weaker ones never worked well for me.
Avatar m tn Did they conduct a nerve conduction study, and EMG, check for an endocrinological cause, send you to a rheumatologist to check for fibromyalgia? Did any doctor check the peripheral vascular system with a doppler study to see if your circulation is working properly in your legs? Peripheral vascular disease can be hereditary and I seem to remember reading it can strike even in one's teen years. If you have had a lipid panel that demonstrated high triglycerides, etc.
554442 tn?1221235225 meaning pain. Fibro does not cause joint pain or swelling. The pain from Fibromyalgia is produced in the soft tissues of the body, including the muscles and tendons. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/fibromyalgia/AR00056 Question: Why Don't NSAIDs Work for Fibromyalgia Pain? Why don't pain relievers like Motrin, Advil and Aleve work against the pain of fibromyalgia?
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia in 1998 following back surgery and chronic back pain and was prescribed Elavil (75mg at bedtime) and Zanaflex at that time. The meds definitely helped me reach stage IV sleep and my pain improved and has been under control for several years. I recently applied to participate in a drug study for a drug being investigated for fibromyalgia.

707563 tn?1626361905 I can see two things on the list that are probably culprits for the lack of sleep. Stress and pain (from fibromyalgia) I will be having an MRI for this on-going pelvic pain this Friday.
