Avatar f tn Thanks for the response I wil ask my PMP next time I see him if these meds are available in Canada yet. Does anyone know what has been safe to use during pregnancy? We have been trying to conceive our second and are afraid that this might make symptoms worse. Does anyone know?
Avatar f tn of Drs they have been to, treated by and liked, It is not an endorsement of the Drs to have them listed NOR is it a referral..PLEASE research ALL Drs before going and research your condition so you will know when you have found the right Dr for you. Still have questions? Do not hesitate to ask....just know you are not alone.
Avatar n tn humid part of Canada. I think it is part of the FM as there is no other explaination by the docs. I have just started taking beta blockers for high blood pressure so I know it isn't from them. I don't know if this helps at all hope so.

Avatar f tn Hey Guys, I just found another great new link of physicians who know about fibromyalgia and treat fibromyalgia patients routinely. If you would like this link... let me know and I will zap it to you. This includes those members here who live in Canada as well !
1488606 tn?1288192638 Working in a restaurant I have met lots of people over the yars with the same symptoms as mine. One woman claims she is on disability for Fibromyalgia.....I am not ready for that yet, but was wondering if anyone on this forum is on disability for fibromyalgia, was it hard to get since most doctors think we are just crazy.
1205402 tn?1268220272 Hello again, I didn't realize you were in Canada. I am not sure if the NFA has a provider search for Canada- I think it's only for US residents. I apologize for the confusion. I would do what you can to try to begin the Cymbalta as well. It is an approved treatment for FMS here in the states, so chances are that your doctor already has it in his/her mind that you may have FMS.
Avatar m tn I found this new research by Dr. Catherine M.Pittman - one of the foremost brain researchers in the country, to be interesting. We are finding through both animal and human research that the medication class of benzodiazepines may actually prevent learning, both neuronal and cognitive and may prevent long term anxiety recovery. Our work has shown that the neuronal process for learning and also the process for unlearning (called extinction) is slowed or prevented by this class of medications.
Avatar n tn Fibromyalgia can last forever. There are treatments and even possible cures out there (research protocols). Fatigue, dizziness and so many other symptoms are common in fibro patients and in fact, 29% of fibro patients have a positive ANA titer. I hope that you will consider joining us on MedHelp's fibro/CFS board. I'm the Community Leader there.
Avatar f tn I'm just curious how many have been told by their doctors or neurologists that surgery, although an option, is not recommended? I was diagnosed in 2007 with a 13 mm tonsil. Until this week, i've been told that Chiari does not have any symptoms, that it's all in my head (duh), or that there is nothing wrong with me. All these problems have been chalked up to having diabetic neuropathy, carpel tunnel (which i just had surgery for), fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue.
Avatar f tn ve been diagnosed with Lyme Disease and some co-infections I seem to be running in to people that either have Lyme or know someone who does. This is in Canada. Most recently I ran in to an old acquaintance who explained that 5 years ago her son had a bullseye rash. They didn't know anything about LD then and assumed it to be a spider bite and did not recall an embedded tick. This lady herself had an embedded tick that doc removed, also a few years ago and only gave her a single dose of Doxy!
Avatar m tn Hi I am pretty for sure I have Fibromyalgia some of my symptoms include Soar and stiff muscles in my legs and I just have a Flu like feeling all the time and also the pressure points you have. I have those also. Does this sound like Fibromyalgia to you.
554442 tn?1221235225 Great fibro info ! Here is what Dr. Mark Shaw (author of "Beat Fibromyalgia and Fatigue") says about the possible triggers. I know I read the actual research study on this as well: Fibromyalgia/CFS can be caused by a whole range of factors. All of which, it is most likely your doctor or practitioner will not be able to diagnose.
