fibromyalgia

Avatar f tn Thank you so much for this link. I was diagnosed in 2000 with Fibromyalgia but suffered many years before being diagnosed. I was diagnosed with PTSD in 2003. I always thought the two were connected. The constant vigilance, insomnia, and muscle tension since I was about five has surely caused this condition. It was encouraging to see that studies are proving what I always suspected about why I have this debilitating condition.
Avatar f tn Thanks for this. I'm in the UK, and we don't really have a problem with Lyme Disease as far as I know, but I'm seeing my GP at the end of the weeks so I'll ask him if I've been checked for it (I have had about a leg full of blood taken over the months...) and if it is active in this region.
Avatar f tn As the US has known more about Fibro longer than the UK,can anyone give me advice on what helps them.I get severe head,neck and back pain..plus many other areas of the body.Any meds from doc do not work and i just get sent to pain clinic and specialist etc etc over the years..but my pain is getting worse!I am reasonably active but I do not work as i could'nt.My headaches are very severe,at present I get cranial osteopathy and try to stay healthy and sane. The staying sane is pretty hard!
Avatar n tn Hi All, I hope you all don't mind me posting this as I know I should see a doctor. However I'm scared and just wanting some opinions from people who know what it's like to suffer from Fibro daily. I'm a 30 yr old female who has just given birth to a beautiful baby girl 5 weeks ago. I have been suffering from a considerable amount of fatigue, muscle spasms,Painful muscle cramping and tenderness that radiates all over my body.
806806 tn?1239513014 ve been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Chronic fatigue, adrenal fatigue and a pituitary microadenoma. Oh yea, depression too. I feel like **** at least 90% of my days. I get overwhelmed very easily, any stress to me can put me down for the day. Stress to me lately can be the phone ringing too much or traffic etc. Is there anyone with any advice on what to check or questions to ask. I'm wasting away.
Avatar n tn Does anybody get numbness with their fibromyalgia? If so, please can you explain where you get it and how long it last for? Do you get any other symptoms with the numbness? The reason i ask is for the past week i have been experiencing some numbess in my arms and legs along with pinching type pains in my back and neck.
Avatar f tn Iam a mother with 2 young children and I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 4 years ago. Since then I have been suffering with extreme pain that never lets up. I am curious if anyone else has ideas on which medicines work better for pain. I also suffer from depression and anxiety issues. I also have difficulty sleeping, I feel so alone, because neither my family or friends understand my problems. They think I do not really have medical problems. I appreciate if anyone replies!
Avatar m tn I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia but am not sure if this is the true situation or not. I am 25 years old and want my life back! I paid to have a Lyme testing with Igenex in California, not cheap!
Avatar f tn It talks about lyme disease and how many people in the UK have been misdiagnosed as having CFS/ME, when they actually had lyme instead ! http://www.prohealth.com/fibromyalgia/library/showArticle.cfm?
2010625 tn?1329372056 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.
Avatar n tn Has there been a link found between congenital toxoplasmosis and fibromyalgia. I have both. My eyes were affected and I suffer from mood disorders, and a host of other health troubles. I am 44. And so I need brain scans to see if I have lesions? Just wondering.
522415 tn?1242937755 We had a group meeting last year and the president of the UK Fibromyalgia group came along and told us she was now symptom free! But this is a diet that you will have to stick to for life. As your health improves you maybe able to slacken it a bit.
Avatar f tn Have they checked you for the fibromyalgia pressure points? Many times, fibromyalgia is a result of low thyroid. Have they checked all your thyroid panel? I think I know what narcolepsey is, but I have no idea what cataplexy is.

Avatar n tn I do have a cap on the left canine...but I still have feeling in that gun area. I suffer from Fibromyalgia and have had quite a few root canals and crowns due to the pulp area NEVER calming down after dental work. My dentist {who is a family friend...feels this is a neuralgia problem and could last for weeks or could be gone tomorrow. He feels the nerve endings are aggravated. Why I haven't a clue. I am concerned that the numbness is spreading. he says the gum tissues look good.
230948 tn?1235844329 Hi professor nicloson and others I have been ill for nearly 3 yrs now i have had a vague dx of fibromyalgia but my GP (i live in the UK) feels it is not this and has booked me in to see a neuromuscular consultant in a few weeks time.
551343 tn?1506830518 OK I get really confused about the pain found in MS, some neurologist still say there is no PAIN in MS, then on the news in the UK there is this lady who went to court about assisted suicide as she wants to be able to go to Switzerland for assisted suicide and not have her husband arrested, WHEN THE PAIN of her PPMS gets too much for her to bear. Then there is the pain in Fibromyaligia and M.E. When I talk to people who have FM & M.
