Hi all, just wondering if anyone has had high levels of inflammation? I did blood work on Friday and it was 15.7, it should be less than 6. Is this a problem for anyone else?

Anyone here have problems with upper abdominal muscle that rolls randomly? I have to physically hold it in place as it tries to roll from right side to center and back again. Coworker has physically seen it. Usually happens if i bend the wrong way or try to get up from recliner. Hurts like hell. Takes my breath away. Doesnt happen everyday, but after it does it really sensitive for about a week. I have to be real careful how i maneuver or it will roll again. Have been checked for hernia and… read more

How many people suffer from lack of empathy or even belief from family members and neighbors? I've had so much issues dealing with the diagnosis all on its own at only 20, but to have people criticize me on "faking" my illness and even going as far to saying i gave up my child for drugs. I break out and have lost a lot of weight, so people assume I'm on something rather then my illness being an affect. Anyone else ?

I am on Prozac and Neurontin for Fibromyalgia and CRPS. I have recently (within the last couple months) become sick every time I eat meat. I realize I should go to the doctor but it usually takes a bit to get an appointment, and I'm sure they will want to run a million tests. Being a human pin cushion with tests run all the time, I'd like to avoid as much as possible. So I was just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced anything like this...

I have been experiencing an intermittent sensation of having a thick tongue causing me to jumble my words , interrupt my speech and at times I bite my tongue. I can’t see any difference in my tongue. I do not have excessive drooling.

I know a lot of us struggle with chemicals such as perfumes etc but does anyone get smells occurring that nobody else can smell at all?

A recurring one for me is a mint/menthol smell, nobody else smells it but it stings my nose, eyes, throat etc

I have pretty much stripped the house and can’t find this smell and nobody else smells it. It’s almost as if it’s emitted from my body as it gets stronger when I get hot but still nobody smells it!

Help 😢

I will get very itchy in different parts of my body for no known reason. I also have experienced burning circular rashes on my right arm and an oblong rash on my right shoulder. They take a long time to go away and they leave scars. The weird thing is these rashes so far have only happened on the right side of my body. I'm not on any new medications and I haven't changed my laundry detergent. I was just wondering if anyone else experiences mysterious rashes and itching?
