Avatar n tn I was under the impression that she should stop synthroid two weeks before the treatment. We live in Japan and the doctor doing the treatment is in Hawaii so there is a communication problem - we are going through a nurse here in Japan who communicates with the doctor in Hawaii.
Avatar f tn t go into all my details, but after 2-3 years of odd symproms and random/chronic muscle pain my neurologist has suggested that I have fibromyalgia. She said I should discuss it with my famil doctor at my next appt, which is in July. Both doctors have run me through countless tests to rule out other neuro and autoimmune diseases including MS. My family doctor really felt like I may be depressed.

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 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.

533101 tn?1213174914 Hi Lani, I had Avastin as part of my first line treatment with Taxol/Carbo. I did not have any significant side-effects from the Avastin, just some neuropathy from the Taxol. I hope this works well for you. I have also had Doxil and found it to be the most challenging due to skin problems.....I am a fair-skinned, redheaded haole girl!!!!! Lived in Pearl City and Aiea during the 70s and was in the first class at Pearl City High. Ended up graduating from HBA. Many fond memories of Hawaii.

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 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.
Avatar f tn ve seen more posts lately of those who have very similar symptoms after completion of treatment and most often the end diagnosis is fibromyalgia. It is a chronic disorder and there is really no cure.
Avatar n tn Today I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and hip bursitis and tendonnitus in my elbow area. I've had pain in my forearm muscles and joint near my eblow for a few months. It started on the left elbow area and then after about month it suddenly quit hurting and being sure and started up in the right upper are and joint near my elbow. Yesterday when it suddenly started up in my thigh, I thought enough, get to the Dr.
Avatar f tn At this time, there is no "cure" for fibromyalgia - one main reason being is they have not determined exactly what causes fibromyalgia. There are many thoughts and ideas on it, however, nothing has been scientifically proven/discovered. There also are no specific blood tests, scans, etc., for diagnosing fibromyalgia = there ARE certain critieria that need to be met before a true fibro diagnosis.
Avatar n tn I've been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. I've tried all of the meds they are currently prescribing for this. Has anyone tried alternative treatment for this? If so, did it work for you?
Avatar f tn I'm a 45yr. old female with Lupus and Fibromyalgia. I also have had a total hysterectomy in 1991. I take premarin for hormone replacement. Over the last 5 years or so I have noticed that the "peach fuzz" on my face, (blonde) was getting a little thicker. My hair was really short and my hairstylist at the time took clippers and shaved around the sides of my jawline near my ear lobe. I freaked out of course. He said it would not make it grow in faster.
Avatar n tn I have hep c and was told it can be cured just 8weeks of treatment.,but while getting treatment you cannot miss a scheduling or you will have to start all over from the beginning.I just wanted to know has anyone w/hep c ever hear that?
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 f tn By that I mean, If I was taking my pill normally at 9pm my time zone and it was 5 hours earlier in Hawaii, I took it at 4pm in Hawaii. Same difference in Europe. I took it as soon as I woke up (which ended up being an hour or 2 later than at home but that's not that big of a deal when you're on a combined pill, which I was). Does that make sense?
