fibromyalgia treatment exercise

Wondering if fibromyalgia may be a consideration. It seems to be a diagnosis that keeps popping up as a post treatment illness and worth discussing with you doctor.

Some options are - Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Savella. These are the only three drugs approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of fibromyalgia. Lyrica is an antiseizure medication, while Cymbalta and Savella are antidepressants. All three have been known to reduce the pain of fibromyalgia significantly.

boy o boy do I agree with VintageChicken. Your doctor sounds like a prescription nut!. Do you have a diagnosis? or is he just pulling the names of medicine out of his, ah, er, hat? I must say I've never heard of Gabapentin nor Zonegram. I'm sorry to say I have heard of Topamax-simply no place in Fibromyalgia treatment from every report I've heard, read, seen and made from personal experience. It cripples every mind that I've learned about.

I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, all that my doctor tells me to do is Exercise, and it's not working ( I don't really think she knows about Fibromyalgia). I was wondering if you could tell me anything that would help with my fibromyalgia symptoms. Some of my symptoms include: severe fatigue, severe pain and muscle soarness, headache, flu - like feeling all the time.

) With the extra malic acid and magnesium, fibromyalgia sufferers can handle exercise and still get out and about the next day. The combination magnesium and malic acid may also be helping the bodies handle physiologic stress better. (Caution: People with heart or kidney problems should check with their doctors before taking supplemental magnesium.) Antioxidants help reduce free-radical damage and fight inflammation.

I agree with Force, exercise has helped me more than anything. I'm 12 weeks post treatment. At times during treatment I was too weak to do more than walk to the bathroom, but I kept as active as the anemia would permit. Swimming was the easiest, That way I wasn't fighting gravity and did not have any joint-related pain. As soon as I finished treatment I resumed other exercise, starting with walking short distances and working my way up to a more vigorous program.

I went thru 48 months of treatment developed fibromyalgia and worsened joint and bone pain. I have lost a lot of dexterity in my hands and fingers don't have a lot of feeling at the tips, but that's from the treatment. Pre-treatment I had a lot of winter arthritis-like pain in my joints and hands. Don't know if this helps, but I'm new to this forum. Wish I'd seen it when I was on treatment.

As with many other medically unexplained syndrome, there is no known cure or universally accepted treatment for fibromyalgia, and treatment is typically aimed at symptom management. Developments in the understanding of the pathophysiology of the disorder have led to improvements in treatment, which include prescription medication, behavioral intervention, exercise, and alternative and complementary medicine.

You need to see a rheumatologist, a doctor who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of fibromyalgia.

My husband was just diagnosed as pre-diabetic and has CFS, chronic IBS and flares of fibromyalgia. We both were put on metformin, strict diet and exercise to help control our blood sugars and thyroid medication because we also have high normal TSH. We are both feeling much better and will feel like ourselves after a few months of treatment. Look into it because fibro could be caused by both of these conditions.

This may be a broad question, but what is the recommended treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

I had only once tested my hbsag quantity since my diagnosis two years ago. The test was done a few weeks ago and came out about 17000iu/ml. In other words quite high, that should warrant treatment immediately, in my opinion, though my dumb doctors won't put me on treatment yet. But I'm going to fight them and insist that I need antiviral treatment.

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.

I have now seen the rheumatologist and have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia can any advise me as to what help I can get as some days these pains can be life limiting am finding it hard to even peel potatoes need advice thanks

I have a theory about why exercise hurts us so much. Fibromyalgia is a central nervous system disorder.( this is now known) Exercise is a type of stress. Fibromyalgia and stress of any kind do not go well together. Exercise registers in the brain as stress and the brain sends out signals to the body to react to the stress( threat).Your body produces a sudden burst of cortisol, the "fight or flight" hormone.This hormone is not bad.

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

I hae been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and all that my doctor tells me to do is Exercise. Nothing is working and I was wondering ....can you tell me anything that would help with my fibromyalgia. Some of my symptoms are severe Fatigue, severe muscle soarness, headache, flu - like feeling. I already tried Lyrica and couldn't take it so could you tell me anything that I could ask my doctor about that maybe would help be to feel better??

t bother me. There are facts and the fact is that some fibromyalgia patients are in wheelchairs. The truth never hurts... only our reaction to it does.

I might have fibromyalgia so I don't know if this is part of that or if I am having some anxiety issue or both. My body hurts and feels numb at the same time. The numbness is kind of freaking me out. It makes the pain and when I touch myself just feel like pressure. I also wondered if maybe I am having some depersonalization issue as that can make your body feel numb as well.
