Yes, for me I had first costochondritis and thought it was a heart attack, then my doctor mentioned that since it’s constant (every single day for 4 years now), it’s Tsieze Syndrome

I recently consulted with a different rheumatologist who sent me to a neurologist and a pain specialist. The neurologist wants to do a sleep study. My problem though is the pain in my legs. I also have pain at times in my shoulders and neck, and I have arthritis in my right foot at the base of my big toe which is hurting a lot lately. In the past I have taken hydrocodone, but my former rheumatologist switched me to Tramadol. I was taking 300 mg per day. The pain specialist allowed me to… read more
I asked for a higher dose of tramadol until my surgery & after if they don’t send me home with any.
I was diagnosed with fibro in 2004 & neck issues got worse about 2007.
In conversations on this site I've seen some great navigation tips. Could we add the things we've discovered here so everyone can learn from each other?
For example search for the Q&A titled "Questions& Answer Links Tip" (which is a did-you-know about clicking the Q&A tab on the menu vs. the Q&A tab under your profile.)
My ex: when you have a question to ask, it seems you'll get many more answers by posting it on the Q&A board than by just posting it on your profile page.
Ohhh, Janet, that is a great tip! LOL 😆😆😂😂
Lately, a lot of us Fibromites have been thru so much negative, so I thought if we named just 1 provider, collectively we could reach 100,000 names. If we put a name here and under our providers list, we could watch it grow?? Anyone not in it we proceed with caution.
oh, you're very welcome!!!! Have a great day!
I am wondering if anyone has tried acupuncture for just general pain or only for specific area pain. Any recommendations for a provider in my area? How do you select a provider? Once you start do you have to continue to return for more treatments? Thanks for all your help!
I have had acupuncture with the lowest electrical pulses in my hand because it became " stuck" . Was very difficult to move. The treatment was amazing . It lasted for 8 months. I have to go back. I… read more
Can I please call on your wealth of experience and knowledge when I ask you what natural supplements do you take? I already take magnesium, vit B & evening primrose but I am thinking more about exploring and trying others. I don't know if this is the best approach to take, but I reckon if anyone can/will give me honesty in their answers, it's all of you. Right now I am open to all suggestions about supplements (I shall be exploring therapies another time, fairy steps). Thank you x
Taking Fibroprin Biotene, Magnesium & Tumeric, Vitamin D 5000 iu, Centrum Silver Vitamin
