Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn hi. you might get more help if this wasnt posted in the dental forum. my mom just started taking cymbalta its an antidepressant but it seems to help her pain. i am not sure if its been approved for fibromyalgia but her dr had read a few articles about how it might help so he told the insurance company it was for depression caused by her pain so they would be sure to cover it. if your current dr isnt up to date with treatment options i would go to someone else. good luck!

Avatar m tn Quite high and warrants treatment if it [treatment] will make you feel better cos wellness is ultimate. I will go for test to determine my baseline and start treatment (entecavir or TNF). If treatment does not yield result after 3 or 6 months, I'll stop. Most of us have strings of malaria in this part of the world (Nigeria) and we rarely even complain.
Avatar n tn s, xrays on back and nothing shows up. Blood was checked by rheumatologist for everything he could think of and nothing showed. The pain/discomfort went on for about 5 months , may -september. I never had pain elsewhere and was not very tired. From october to end of february, I have felt fine. I'd say my energy levels havent always been great for as long as I remember but I can still run 5 or 6 mile runs almost 3 times per week. I am most concerned about fibromyalgia at this point.
646598 tn?1223708455 Has anyone tried Celexa or any other anti-depressants for their Fibromyalgia? I was told it was approved this past June, of 2008, for the "treatment" of Fibromyalgia. If so, did it help any?
Avatar f tn Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by widespread pain in your muscles, ligaments and tendons, as well as fatigue and multiple tender points — places on your body where slight pressure causes pain. Fibromyalgia is more common in women than in men. Previously, fibromyalgia was known by other names such as fibrositis, chronic muscle pain syndrome, psychogenic rheumatism and tension myalgias.
209591 tn?1267414714 I can see where it's been used off-label for experimental treatment of certain immunologically-related disorders. I have not heard of it previously, nor tried it. Yes, please do let us know how it works for you. I hope that it will help. Take care.
Avatar f tn Doctor finally listened and believe I do have fibromyalgia. Every trigger point she touched made me wanna jump out the chair. She said the anxiety medicine she has me on should help with the fibro...does anyone know about this??
Avatar n tn Have they found out the cause behind your fibromyalgia? Unless the correct cause is diagnosed, treatment will not be optimum. Where is the pain located?
Avatar m tn It is a Rheumatologist who you must see for a fibromyalgia diagnosis and if positive,consequent treatment follows, prescribed normally by the Rheumatologist. There is no effective standard medical treatment for fibromyalgia other than symptom management, by the way. The suspected side-effects of the acupuncture cannot be attributed to the treatment itself, as it cannot be verified. Those " strange" side effects could be easily caused by stress alone.
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 !
