Has Anyone Ever Tried Cryotherapy?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

My daughter-in-law has fibromyalgia and just started doing cryotherapy (cold therapy). She said it helps her a lot. I don’t think I could do it because I’m very cold sensitive due to fibromyalgia and hypothyroid and I tend to get itchy and red from the cold. Has anyone else ever tried this?

Cryotherapy
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Just an update to the question I asked last week about cryotherapy
I talked to a women that has a pretty bad case of fibro that lives close to me. She told me that going to cryotherapy has improved her symptoms by about 50% and she has been able to get off all of her medications. So I read as much as I could about it and decided to take the plunge. Saturday was my first treatment. It would take to long to write exactly what it is but it's like taking a three minute cold sauna. When I got out of… read more

Feel Like I'm Losing My Mind
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have trouble with words my brain will think one thing and my mouth will say another but I won't even realise until someone points it out and the other day I was helping my 4 year old learn to write but everything I wrote down the letters got jumbled up no matter how hard I tried to concentrate (I know how to spell the words) is this a fibro thing or am I genuinely starting to lose my mind now 😕

Same thing here. I have both fibro fog and chemo fog. I don't know what might come out of my mouth.

Has Anyone Heard Of Or Tried Cryotherapy?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was just told that it is a treatment featured on the Kelly & Michael Show that has been shown to be super effective for Fibro patients. My sister is so convinced that she is actively seeking a way to get the treatment for her RA. I did not see the show. I am just getting ready to research it myself and thought I would start here.

Does Anyone Suspect That Drugs, Benzos, Opiates Etc, Taken In Quantity Over Time May Possibly Bring On Fibromyalgia?

I received Demerol, Valium and a muscle relaxant.

As a nurse I have given those meds hundreds of times. You will think that I didn't follow these people. In a small hospital you see people over and… read more

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Do You Get Sore Throats/swollen Glands? Or Fatigue Only?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia back in 2007, however my fatigue gets worse every year to the point that it is now my most debilitating symptom, so I always wonder if I also have CFS, but I don't get the symptoms of sore throats or swollen glands. Please tell me your symptoms and if you were diagnosed with or without the sore throat/swollen glands issues. Thank you! God bless. 😊😪💤💤💤
