Avatar f tn As far as I know, antiviral meds are the standard treatment for EBV. Btw, there are some studies that suggest a low-grade chronic EBV infection may be related to fibromyalgia. Not saying that's what it is, just adding some food for thought. Might be interesting to see if antiviral treatment would make any difference in your fibro.
Avatar m tn 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 June 2008, a second drug, Cymbalta, which was previously approved for treating depression, was FDA approved for treating fibromyalgia as well. In 2009 the FDA approved milnacipran (Savella) for the treatment of fibromyalgia. Perhaps mention these to your doctor at next visit. Best wishes!

Avatar n tn To the person who suggested swapping out brown rice and quinoa for cauliflower or roasted peppers -- calories aren't why we gain weight. Metabolism is. Without some form of complex carbohydrate such as quinoa or brown rice or many others, we have no energy to burn. And if this person does have fibromyalgia, peppers are a pro-inflammatory food for many people -- they're in the nightshade family.
7450908 tn?1390996321 I was diagnosed with fibro about 18 years ago. I've been using Lyrica & was using Cymbalta for a while as well.

I'm on low income & I'm telling this medication is getting so expensive that I have a hard time affording to buy just a months worth at taking one a day. At certain times of the year I have to take more than one a day. Is there a more natural way to deal with fibro?

Avatar f tn I haven't seen anyone suggest Fibromyalgia. It takes about 2 years of tests out the wazoo where they all tell you all your tests are normal. Then they tell you it is all in your head. So they have a shrink talk with you. After the shrink says this person seems fine to me, then finally someone will finally say must be fibromyalgia.

Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at age 15, and it truly has been a touch road to walk down. I tried every medication they were willing to write, and nothing ever seemed to truly help. Then, I began seeing a new doctor, and what he told me to do was the most shocking, and absolutely amazing thing in the world. What was his treatment plan? "Smoke a joint.
