Hi, What are the symptoms present and what are the initial diagnostic tests done? Treatment options will depend on a variety of issues such as the the location, extent of the disease, symptoms as well as the results of other tests and overall health of patient. It is best that you discuss this with your attending physician for proper management. Surgery and chemotherapy ma be indicated. Take care and do keep us posted.

Have it checked out but again the doctor I went to and I believe a naturopathic MD and a good family MD will tell you to consider your symptoms even if the blood work comes back normal.

t want to burn any bridges by going through the wrong treatment at the wrong time. I feel we are at an advantage with a BRCA2 positive status and would like to find another way to exploit this. Should we try Angiogenic drug?More PARP?Monclonal antibodies?Biological inhibitors?Different chemo and if so what drug? I had also heard that there was the drug 6-thioguanine used to selectively kill BRCA2 defective tumors and overcome PARP inhibitor resistance. This is an FDA approved drug for Leukemia.

Gish is Las Vegas. I am experiencing symptoms more each day and am asking for advice as to what options are open. I am more fatigued, more nasuea spells, open rashes forming on my scalp, and a constant headache, and lets not even go with the muscle and joint pain. I was dx with Type 1A with Cyrobulinemia and treated for 48 weeks without success.

Hi, janie1951. I have had Fibromyalgia for 25 plus years, and each ache and pain and sleep problem was just chocked up to the Fibro. Recently I read an article about sleep apnea affecting women differently than men, just at the time my husband had his second sleep study done. When we saw the specialist after his test, I asked about my having a study done. I would suggest you do it right along with everything else.

I have recently been showing symptoms of Fibromyalgia and was wondering what helps the Fatigue and flu-like feeling that goes with fibromyalgia?

Welcome aboard, Suanne ! Recently a member asked our guest physician pretty much the same question and here is the link to that discussion: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/648144 I agree with Dr. Nicolson's response 100%. I am on a treatment protocol and there are many other chronically ill people on the same protocol, including fibromyalgia patients. We frequently communicate and share our success stories.

I normalized my cholesterol and BP levels within 8 months with diet and exercise and was able to go off Aceon. (I quit under medical supervision and subsequent 24hr ABPM showed borderline to normal BP, normal dipping at night, etc.) I know I cannot do anything about glaucoma if I do in fact have it. I just want to be 100% sure that any treatment that may be prescribed addresses the problem and won't make it worse, as I have read it is possible when NTG is treated.

Sandee1818 is correct, there are several approaches to Fibro treatment. I do not have Fibro but here are many here that do and will offer you good suggestions and information. There are 5 million ppl afflicted with Fibro. Alternative treatment for fibromyalgia include exercise (non-aerobic), nutrition, stress, massage, acupuncture, soft tissue manipulation, Pilate's and Yoga and those types of non traditional medicine are considered beneficial for some Fibro ppl.

But i experienced similar symptoms brfore starting v the treatment for hbv. 2 months after entecavir 0.5mg and vitamin d3 supplement (10000iu per day) i started feeling much better. However if you are on antiviral and you vitamin D levels are normal, then better to check with the doctor. These symptoms csn be caused by stress, anxiety, bad diet, less intake of water....

How are your lumps now? Has it shrunk since u started taking MTX and prednisone?

Hi I am assuming that you are talking about fibromyalgia which affects muscles and soft tissues of the body leading to chronic pain and fatigue. The treatment options are: Medications: • Analgesics : Acetaminophen, tramadol, NSAIDS etc • Antidepressants • Muscle relaxants. • Pregabalin Non Medication options: • Behavior therapy • Reduction of stress • Regular exercise • Healthy diet. You should consult your doctor about the medication and non medication options that are available for you.

Medical treatment comprises of OTC painkillers like Ibuprofen , Tramadol , antidepressants . Please consult a physician to discuss these symptoms and treatment options . Please take advise for the use of painkillers since you have associated PAD . Hope this helps you . Take care and regards !

re really healthy already and your Liver looks fine and you have absolutely no symptoms from Hep-C then there is no rush to treat. My Mom had a biopsy and everything looked fine except she had the Hep-C virus. My parents were both healthy when they found out they had the virus and their doctor did not recommend immediate treatment but left the option open of course.

BY THE WAY, IT WAS MY C6/7 I HAD FUSED AND I HAVE HAD NO RELIEF OF SYMPTOMS OR PAIN AND NOW THEY TELL ME MY C5/6 IS HERNIATED.

Is fibromyalgia and hypercoaguability related? I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia--(3 years ago)--but I also have a previous pulmonary embolism. The doctor who treated my P.E., said that she had to prescribe more warfarin for me than she ever had to for any other patient in her 20 year career. She specializes in treating post-operative emboli. Every week I had my blood drawn to gauge how much my warfarin dosage should be. Every week for months it was increased.

Hello Leila006, It is not uncommon to have overlapping conditions such as RA and Fibromyalgia. I have Osteoarthritis of the spine, nerve damage and Fibromyalgia, which is different than what you are suffering from, but I have known a lot of people who have had both problems together. I am just guessing from what you have written, that the Lyrica has made you very drowsy...right?
