For migraine try a cup of water mixed with a whole lemons worth of juice and a tsp of pink himalayan salts. Helps half the time. Also try food elimination. Food elimination got rid of a friends severe and debilitating migraines for good

This is interesting.

I had pelvic pain for 10 years, told painful periods. Had loads of scans even taken into hospital for a week as I was in agony - again told painful periods and ovulation.

2016 - finally a consultant had a look inside - both my Fallopian tubes were blocked both ends and ballooned up with fluid - the consultant was so shocked how bad the PID was he showed me pictures!! Plus I had endometriosis, adenometriosis - he said it was probably an infection that hadn’t been treated roughly a decade ago - he said he could see why it had been so painful.

Hysterectomy followed at 36 no more children for me devastated.

During all this other symptoms started and everything got worse after the hysterectomy.

Now I’m completely broken - still wil chronic pelvic pain and fibromyalgia.

This is the first thing that I have seen that has connected the two things.

Do you have any more information on this? Can I ask where you found the information out?

Thank you 😊

Fibromyalgia And Chronic Pelvic Pain In Women

Pelvic disorders not only cause pain, they also contribute to loss of intimacy, anxiety, depression, and unwarranted guilt. We may not all experience the same CPP, but we do experience the same effects: interruption in normal healthy sexual relationships, difficulty sleeping, and disruption to our quality of life.

The Complexity of Chronic Pelvic Pain
Chronic pelvic pain can develop following acute or chronic irritation due to various causes, including:

Vulvodynia
Interstitial cystitis (also known as painful bladder syndrome)
Reproductive organ problems – painful menstrual periods, pain associated with uterine fibroids, ovulation, ovarian cysts, uterine tissue abnormalities, reproductive organ abnormalities, and pregnancy related problems.
Pelvic inflammatory disease
Pelvic congestion
Chronic infection
Sterile cystitis (urgency, frequency, urinating through the night, painful urination, bladder pain, pressure in pelvic area, lower abdomen and back, bladder spasm and other symptoms in the absence of infection)
Vaginitis (inflammation of the vagina)
Uretheritis (inflammation of the tube that carries urine out of the bladder when you urinate)
Rectal pain
Myofascial trigger points in the pelvic bowl muscles and attachments that mimic symptoms of vaginitis, uretheritis, and cause rectal and other pelvic floor pain
Urethra and rectal sphincter dysfunction
Irritable bowel syndrome
Scar tissue
Cancer
Pelvic floor muscle function, bladder and bowel function are an integral part of our daily physiological functioning. This lends to an urgency in understanding and treating problems appropriately.

Chronic pelvic pain and FM share overlapping abnormalities, such as:

Allergies
Autonomic nervous system disruption
Centralization of pain
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
Immune system involvement
Joint Hypermobility
Migraine
Myofascial pain from myofascial trigger points
Sicca syndrome (explained by my rheumatologist as Sjogren’s Syndrome without antibodies)
Sleep disruption
Systemic lupus erythematosus
Temporomandibular joint disorder
Trauma, emotional and physical
Therapies
Like FM, CPP can be constant or come and go in flares. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and can fluctuate in intensity. That’s why it is important to identify perpetuating factors to both CPP and FM. They can perpetuate each other. Managing known overlapping disorders, paying attention to posture, mental well-being, sleep problems, and other things we have identified is important. The more overlapping conditions that exist, the more complex the clinical picture, but this is not a reason your physician or you should give up. We can contribute to unraveling the kinks by indentifying and managing aggravating factors that are within our control.

I use to get sever tiredness and a painful jaw when I took imitrex. I take fever few now for migraines which seems to help with no side effects for me.

I'm allergic to this drug sadly I had to take it to find out! Ended up with the paramedics at home as it felt like all my muscles were contracting me into a ball, I was in so much pain, this was before my Fibro diagnosis, trip to hospital & drs told me to stop immediately and the effects would wear off after a few hours or days in my case!! I'm just wondering if you're having a similar reaction if it puts you into a flare? ((Hugs)) xx 💜 xx
