Avatar m tn I heard that it was banned in Canada for causing heart attacks so I asked to be taken off. I also have reservations about narcotics and just can't afford most meds on my Social Security Disability. (My husband divorced me when I got sick). I an on Topomax which helps a lot but is no wonderdrug. Following a good organic diet for borth migraine and fibromyalgia helps and avoiding stress. I have blackout shades in my home and NO FLOURESCENT BULBS!!! Warm baths are great.

It is the best way to stay informed and make sure that your physician is informed.
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?

237053 tn?1258828426 Not all rhuematologists are diagnosing and treating fibromyalgia. In fact, not too long ago.... a rheumatologist was outraged because he thought that neurologists should be handling fibromyalgia patients. I have to agree with him because fibro is a CNS (central nervous system) disorder. However... most physicians only know how to treat part of the problem and order prescriptions. The fibro/CFS experts have their recommends (which are not Lyrica) listed on our health care pages.

Avatar n tn My right knee, both hips and my arm joints are completely stiff. I have a cracking popping nose in my joints. My concern is that now I am noticing that my feet and ankles are swollen. I do my best to elevate them, but I do sit at a desk for most of the day. I also live in a hot and humid climate. I've been quite slim for years and I am suddenly feeling extremely bloated, and swollen like I am retaining water all over. I take a beta blocker for irregular heart beat.
Avatar m tn Here in Canada there are no Labs that are capable to do proper Lyme and Mycoplasma testing, but it can be done though IGENEX in the States As for you twilliams, you will be able to find an LLMD in Columbia MD easier than us in Canada. Just do a search for LLMD or go to the ILADS website. You must approach this with caution, as the politics surrounding these issues, resemble Dark Ages politics- suppression, oppression and corruption.
Avatar f tn I did respond to ur other post and did give u a link to a list of Drs in Canada for u to use to research Drs...... Lower back pain can related as tethered cord is a related condition and will affect the lower back....... Do look at the other thread u posted on for more info I posted there for u,.
Avatar m tn We do have a list, but it is small in comparison to the USA one....but there is one for Canada....keep in mind, u may not find a Dr in ur area and have to travel as we do here in the USA as well....and u need to research each Dr on the list as the lists are not referrals nor endorsements....the list is compiled by the members here of Drs they have been to, treated by and liked. Use the Main list in the Health pages as it has a link to the list for Canada. http://www.medhelp.

Avatar f tn I noticed a short list of suggested doctors specializing in Chiari in Canada. My adult daughter has been diagnosed with Chiari and lives in Ottawa. Is there a good neurologist and/or neurosurgeon in the Ottawa area that anyone would recommend? I noticed an Aug 6/10 post from someone who mentioned they had a good neurosurgeon in the Ottawa area but the name wasn't noted. Thanks very much in advance!
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.
1488606 tn?1288192638 I'm in Canada and the previous posters are in the USA, I gave you the info based on where i came from. Sorry if it didn't help at all. :-S I hope you can get approved if you need it.
Avatar f tn Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum. There are a few older threads where the members have named Drs they have been to, treated by and liked....we do like to remind you that the names being on here do not indicate they are true Chiari specialists OR does it indicate an endorsement of the Drs. Please research Drs and educate yourself here on the forum. Below is a link to several older threads on Drs from Canada: https://www.medhelp.org/search?
