I have been hearing people talk about a lack of oxygen to the brain being a cause of inflammation, etc. I've seen where some say hyperbaric oxygen can cure fibromyalgia. So as I looked for ways to increase oxygen to the brain (exercise is certainly one), I find where low blood pressure will decrease oxygen to the brain. Wow, I have low blood pressure. The other night it was 81/60, though it is usually 90/70. Do any of you have consistently low blood pressure? Cause maybe this is one path to… read more

I'd say it's the fibromyalgia as I suffer with extreme hot sweats waking up freezing cold as I am that wet head to foot, my hair will be drenched wet through and this has been going on for few years before being diagnosed with anything and before taking any medication ,
I have only been taking duloxotine For several weeks and I was the same before these x
Cymbalta was horrible for me- hot sweatie- I forgot what else it has been so long. coming off of it was horrid
I have struggled with my memory on and off for the past 25 years and always blamed it on my anxiety. More recently, I thought I might have dementia because my memory has been getting worse. It wasn’t until I read an article on fibro fog that I even considered it could be something else causing my forgetfulness. I honestly believe that for me, the fog is more debilitating than the pain and other symptoms I have. I am curious what everyone else experiences are in terms of fibro fog and do you… read more
I am also dealing with this problem
I told myself this year I am to take better care of myself!!! So far I've been very slow at it ( for obvious reasons) NO more excuses; I am my top priority!
So please tell me what it is that helps you feel better and relaxed or pampered??! Do you use expensive/quality shampoo conditioner??? Get you nails done??
Button line what's your "GO-To" for self care???? Beyond medication.

Does anybody know what kind of doctor I could go see if that would help with my pain management I swear I've tried everything and I can't find a doctor that will prescribe me tramadol .I have had addiction issues and chemical dependency in the past. But now they're saying it's a narcotic? It's ridiculous I feel like I have no quality-of-life. I'm 40 years old and have more problems than an 80-year-old. I don't feel person should have to suffer. Does anybody have any suggestions?
My doctor also wants to take me off of tramadol. It is the only thing that makes my body ankle to move. I don't understand.
