Avatar f tn Hi kristin That sounds like a positive neuro appt. That's interesting info about fibromyalgia and it must be reassuring that your neuro is so knowledgeable and supportive.

Avatar f tn I started with 2000 IUs a day but my D levels only went up to 27 in early July 2010 and then down to 24 in late July 2010. So, I then upped my dose to 3400 IUs taken 3 times daily to maintain a steady state and by October 15 by levels had reached 30.6 and I was starting to feel a bit better. I then upped my dose to 4400 IUs and the improvement in my symptoms (after an initial problem of bone/joint/nerve dysfunction/pain) continued. By December my D levels hit 41.

1570846 tn?1295829627 These conditions can often be linked to a number of other conditions like tethered cord and connective tissue disorders, even over diagnosed Fibromyalgia. These are very rare conditions, but not rare in chiari patients. Finding educated doctors and people for that matter is just as rare. It can be very hard to find doctors that understand what this is, and does to a person. I hope you seek a specialist opinion if you plan to opt for a decompression surgery.
Avatar n tn What can be done about the chronic Fibromyalgia pain when I am allergic to pain medicines or the pain relievers do not give relief.
Avatar n tn Doctors really don't know the correlation between auto immune disorders and fibromyalgia, but it's quite common for fibro sufferers to also have auto immune disorders such as lupus. Once they can really pinpoint the "cause" of fibro, they may also be able to tell what this correlation is.
Avatar f tn Wolfe now questions the validity of fibromyalgia as a disease. He considers fibromyalgia a physical response to stress, depression, and economic and social anxiety, and believes the associated symptoms are a normal part of everyday life. In 2009, he wrote, "the tendency to respond with distress to physical and mental stressors is part of the human condition.

Had seen a Rhuemy in 2010, and was put on plaquenil for " connective tissue disorder" for about a year. Helped with hair thinning and other symptoms. Since then, moved and took new job. Symptoms have emerged along with new positive tests- HLA-B27 positive ,Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide Antibody- positive, Creatine Kinase, 147 (high end of normal) and Ferritin very low 8. No word from the Dr.

201897 tn?1245842334 I'm a 50 y/o female in relatively good health. I have fibromyalgia and thyroid issues (non-autoimmune) but that's about it. I'm overweight but not obese (via BMI). I stay hydrated. No diabetes, no high blood pressure. My GP's office has one of those on-line portal things where patients can view their test results. I decided to take a peek and was looking at some past testing.

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 n tn 2 yrs ago I was tested for neuropathy and was told I have it from my hands to my feet. last week I was told I may have fibromyalgia. My question is can you have both of these? I also also shoe signs of diabitas I also have tested for COPD and i also have asthma.
Avatar m tn It is constant for the most part. I can tell you the day it hit was Dec 12 2010. I have had my gall bladder checked, upper-lower GI., hidascan, mri, catscan, ultra-sound and xrays taken. My appendix was removed about 7 years ago. The pain in my side sometimes begins a trickle effect that tickles my skin or causes me to be sensitive to having my clothing or bed covers touch the surface of my skin.
