It is the best way to stay informed and make sure that your physician is informed.
Avatar f tn IMO --- In my opinion = ) I'm not sure why my link was deleted. If you would like to check out my website, please check out my profile. I do post all of the latest fibro & CFS treatment plans (recommended by the experts). A lot of these treatment plans include supplements and that is something that many physicians do not prescribe for their patients.

Avatar f tn 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.
554442 tn?1221235225 Great fibro info ! Here is what Dr. Mark Shaw (author of "Beat Fibromyalgia and Fatigue") says about the possible triggers. I know I read the actual research study on this as well: Fibromyalgia/CFS can be caused by a whole range of factors. All of which, it is most likely your doctor or practitioner will not be able to diagnose.
Avatar n tn I work at a private research site that does multi-specialty research, and it would seem that people would be interested in participating in a study that offers a totally novel drug for fibromyalgia, in its last phases of research before it hits the market. however, we are having difficulty finding patients and I was wondering if this is partly due to fibro patients having negative experiences with doctors. anyone?
Avatar f tn Since we have conditions that are relatively new and often misunderstood in the medical field, there are many members here who do their research and share that information with the other members.
Avatar f tn You have been prescribed the standard treatment method for your situation; if there are newer treatment options your Oncologist would be the best source of this information. Treatment plans are formulated specifically for each patient based on the complete history and Pathology of their cancer. Regards ....
1522259 tn?1291211339 I am a 25 year old female that was just recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia about a month ago (early November 2010). I now believe that I have lived with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome since I was a young adolescent. After my son was born in May of '09, I had an explosion of horrible, debilitating symptoms that left me unable to function in my everyday life.
Avatar f tn I research fibromyalgia because I have it and I am a site leader on another site constantly. My husband has Crohn's disease along with other things that go with it but he is allergic to Remicade. I have never seen anywhere that Remicade was used for fibromyalgia or CFS/ME.
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.
Avatar f tn At first she said I had RA, which would explain my joint pain and low white blood cell count, but now she says I have Fibromyalgia because the tests for RA came back negative and my hands don't look like RA hands. I tried to tell her from the research I've done I can have sero-negative RA which would mean that I would be less likely to have the nodules she is looking for but doctor's know best apparently.
Avatar m tn I've been suffering from random pain AKA fibromyalgia since 2012 and after few years of research and dozens of tests & visits to doctors in 3 different countries I found the treatment that worked in my case and in several other cases. I now want to share my findings with you. What/Symptoms: chronic random pain and odd sensations all over or throughout the body AKA fibromyalgia More about these symptoms you may read in a previous post https://www.medhelp.
428506 tn?1296557399 Hi ! I'm sorry to hear about your possible fibro diagnosis. I can't answer most of your questions, because I don't have fibromyalgia (at least not primary)... but I'm sure our other members will chime in and be able to share their experiences. In my opinion...the best physician for fibro or CFS... is one who knows about these conditions and reads the latest research on these "syndromes".
937868 tn?1570328281 Today’s most exciting research implicates oxidative damage as an underlying problem in fibromyalgia and calls for more research into the use of antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids to fight inflammation and scavenge free radicals. Many studies have found oxidative damage in people with fibromyalgia. In addition, levels of superoxide dismutase, an internal antioxidant, are reduced in women with fibromyalgia.
20100145 tn?1490172960 I've been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for over 10 years now. I've had health problems my entire life. I've been all over Louisiana to just about every Dr for everything but cancer and prostate checks. How many of you really understand what fibromyalgia is? Have you just come to terms with the diagnosis and accept the situation because of exhaustion from all the labs, x-rays, drugs and what pure misery that you are going through? I know exactly what that's like to go through.
Avatar f tn Two years ago I came down with a mild flu which I passed onto my mother, at the end of it's duration we both ended up with Fibromyalgia, did my mother catch Fibro from me or is it just a co-incidence and seeing as we got it from a virus should we both get tested for the XMRV virus
Avatar m tn I found this new research by Dr. Catherine M.Pittman - one of the foremost brain researchers in the country, to be interesting. We are finding through both animal and human research that the medication class of benzodiazepines may actually prevent learning, both neuronal and cognitive and may prevent long term anxiety recovery. Our work has shown that the neuronal process for learning and also the process for unlearning (called extinction) is slowed or prevented by this class of medications.
