I hae been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and all that my doctor tells me to do is Exercise. Nothing is working and I was wondering ....can you tell me anything that would help with my fibromyalgia. Some of my symptoms are severe Fatigue, severe muscle soarness, headache, flu - like feeling. I already tried Lyrica and couldn't take it so could you tell me anything that I could ask my doctor about that maybe would help be to feel better??
So many on the Fibromyalgia forum talk about Tramadol not really being very effective for their FMS pain. I tried it and hated the side effects. I tried anyway for a while, but I started getting itchy all over when I took it. It turned out that I was allergic to the stuff. I wonder if it's worth reassessing how well Tramadol does or doesn't work for the FMS?
Is there a connection between fibromyalgia and the ability to manage dental pain during procedures?
I had to have some cavities taken care of last week - the dentist had to do four rounds of novacaine in addition to the topical analgesic and it had no effect on the nerves. He even gave me the maximum amount that could be administered.
I'm also curious if there is a link between tooth decay and fibromyalgia.
I got x-rays and was diagnosed with degenerative arthritis in my big toe joint and on 9-18-13 I started taking Meloxicam (Mobic). The 1st two nights of taking Meloxicam I felt achey at night and had a fever of about 100- 101. That went away for a while, but then started happening again now every night from about 10-1-13 to now 10-11-13. I get a slight fever at night (100-101) and sweat bad all night long. Bad enough to where the sheets are wet. I usually lose about 3 - 3 1/2 lbs.
I have had both 800mg IB. And 800mg Meloxicam and one thing I know being on numerious medications for the past 10 years due to bad car accidents, is that your body will build a tolerance to all medications I'm no Dr but my best advice is to consult your Dr about alternating between both so that way your body doesn't build a high tolerance and they stop working altogether.
Has anyone heard of Meloxicam helping with w/d from opiates, such lortabs? I went to the doctor for some issues that I had been having and decided to reach out to my doctor for help getting off these bad boys. He perscribed Meloxicam to help with some the withdrawal symptons. I have to say this stuff, which is just an anit inflammatory will helps with the symptons. It eleminates the hot, flush feeling which is most annoying. It really does help.
I have gained a considerable amount of weight will taking Meloxicam. Once I stop taking will the weight come off??

Patient comments:
Woke up one morning about 7 weeks ago with a single inflamed taste bud (Circumvallate) and a minor sore throat.
My biggest concern is my morning stiffness, fevers, symmetrical joint involvement, the lack of muscular symptoms as well as other Fibromyalgia symptoms such as tender points, the walking issues since the meloxicam was taken away, and the lack of improvement with the new treatment for the new diagnosis. As of right now I am taking Tylenol-Codeine (for pain), Gabapentin, and Baclofen (for sleep). I was also just prescribed Savella for the pain.
I thought it was the start of some horrible disease until I thought to look up the side effects of meloxicam. I quit meloxicam and started feeling better after a couple of days (it take a few days to get out of your system because it has a relatively long half-life). After about 2 weeks I'm pretty much back to normal. I hope y'all eventually recovered as well - that was scary!
Hello Flowr,
I understand your hesitancy to take Meloxicam. Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) with analgesic and fever reducer effects. It's often used in Arthritic and inflammatory conditions. However any NSAID comes with concerns - including OTC NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen.
Several years ago Glucosamine & Chondroitin was popular with medical providers. It was hailed as the new and one of the best "treatments" for restoring cartilage and reducing pain.
Her knees have been swollen ever since and she has arthritis in the left one. It is now almost January (7 months ) later and we are still dealing with this with NO answers. She is on Meloxicam daily to manage the pain. She will have a good two or three weeks then a bad few days then the cycle repeats itself.
She had strep throat Nov 16 which she took all the medicine and the symptoms went away.
m already a member of the Anxiety and Depression forums. After two months, almost, of tests and seeing various doctors and specialist, I've been diagnosed with Osteo Arthritis in the lower back and right hip. For this I've been prescribed Meloxicam/Mobic for the pain and inflamation. The data sheet that came with the prescription details some pretty nasty potential side effects. I normally don't have too much trouble with meds but this stuff is potent.
Have you tried antiinflammatories for regular pain and toradol for bad pain? Many of the medication they prescribe for fibromyalgia is non narcotic , but I can't recall the names off hand. I know many are on nuerotin for pain, but not sure it thats addicting. I know I was not much help, but wanted to tap in to say CONGRATS on all those clean years. Hope you get some long term relief.
