I live in Loves Park, you’re not the far from me. How’s the weather treating you?
Does anyone know of a good doctor who treats fibromyalgia in the Chicagoland/surrounding suburbs area?
Wondering if there are any existing support groups in the Arlington Hts, Palatine, Buffalo Grove area for fibromyalgia? If not, would anyone be interested in such a group? Libraries have rooms you can be reserved. Any thoughts?
during the summer months, we are going to change the group to once a month because people are busy and some fibro folks can't deal with going out in the heat. So starting in June, the group will meet… read more

Hi all,
I took my first dose of Lexapro 10mg yesterday night (for anxiety and fibro) and I could not sleep whole night. As soon as I closed my eyes, random thoughts kept coming. and also in the morning I had stomach pain, slightly blurry eyes. I am not sure whether I continue taking it and these side effects will settle down in a few days or I stop it. I have high anxiety and had my first panic attack few days back.
Appreciate your feedback........
Hate Lexapro. I was always hungry and had to stop taking it due to extreme weight gain. As soon as I got off I was no longer hungry and eating all the time. That was my only side effect.
Any tips? I'm getting over a major IC flare-up, and although things have settled down pretty well, I am still being troubled by bladder spasms. I tend to get 2 or 3 close together and then go a few hours without.
Sometimes they are super painful (like really bad period cramps or early labour pains!) but sometimes I barely feel anything. It usually results in a leak, sometimes just a little one and sometimes a big gush.
I do have some nerve damage, so this isn't entirely IC / fibro related… read more
I am taking 5 MG of Cyclobenzaprine twice a day, which helps with my bladder spasms. If needed, I can take it three times a day. I saw a urogynecologist for the bladder spasms and go back once a year… read more

What do you do when your paychologist agrees with yoy that your pain is physical pain, but all medical test come back normal?
My fibro symptoms showed up months after any extreme stress and lack of sleep. I honestly think fibro is an autimmune reaction instead of just a brain nerve/chemical reaction. Sure that maybe a… read more
Hey
I just moved to Los Angeles from Denmark and are looking to try some new treatment for my Fibromyalgia. In Denmark they don't know much about Fibromyalgia which is why I am excited to try new treatments in LA. Does anyone know a good doctor in Los Angeles who knows about fibromyalgia treatments? Maybe someone who has knowledge about LDN. Has anyone tried LDN and does it work?
Rebecca :)
Both acupuncture or cupping didn't do much for me .
