Does anyone else find that aside from the chronic stiff and soreness, in some ways their pain tolerance is weirdly high? I’m told that a lot, a recent example was having to get a wisdom tooth pulled, and because I hate the after effects of freezing I said just try and pull it without any. The entire dentistry staff seemed to find this absolutely unheard of. The tooth was very loose and took under 30 seconds to come out which I had figured so I didn’t see the big deal. Other than that my… read more
I think you’re exactly right. So much tuning out that our systems are constantly in that mode, hence why we have high pain tolerance in some respects. Yet in others we are far more wimpy than the… read more
I have you name it, all the bad symptoms of fibromyalgia & I'm not able to hold a full time job. I have had this for 24 years now. I also have severe depression because I have lost my purpose of raising 2 daughters that are adults now. How do fibromyalgia people make it financially by themselves?
No husband, knew how hard it is to get on disability. Then got custody of my grandchildren and needed to work to feed them and keep a roof over their heads. It wasn’t fun and very stressful, I do t… read more
I found a question and answer on Google that just doesn't make sense to me. First I read that it may be different in different people,, meaning (?} that it could be autoimmune. Then it says Fibro is not autoimmune, which I thought it is. So, here's Google's answer.
Is fibromyalgia autoimmune or neurological?
They may be different in different people. Current research suggests involvement of the nervous system, particularly the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Fibromyalgia is… read more
From what I understand it is not autoimmune. It is neurological and muscular. But, I am no expert.
How can I update this information on the Provider Directory? I don't have her new location I just know she's not in Langhorne, PA any longer.
I just wanted the information on this site to be accurate. I'll probably just take my name off as using her as a doctor. Thanks
My husband and I are starting the IVF process and I want to know if I can pass fibromyalgia on to my kids? and if I do become pregnant will my fibromyalgia get worse?
I agree, find another rheumatologist! They’re the ones who know all about this disease. Are you sure he’s not an MD? ❣️
The dr that initially diagnosed me with fibromyalgia is no longer practicing here. Every other dr I have been to says it is fibromyalgia and or inflammatory arthritis and want me to try different meds. I feel like a lab rat. Can anyone recommend a dr?
Hi @ Monicaholton. Hope by now you've found someone. I just use my interalist family doctor here in Clermont. And recently a pain doctor.
I'm desperately searching for a doctor who deals with fibromyalgia. The rheumatologist who diagnosed me originally is no longer practicing. I was referred to a new doctor (just out of residency) and she didn't seem very knowledgeable regarding FM.
I was evaluated by a neurologist and he was at a loss. MS was his specialty and he ruled me out for that
I'll have to look into the others. Thanks so much for the help
Do you suffer from visual troubles? I experience slightly blurred vision, difficulties in accomodation and above all impression of eyes hopping from word to word when reading instead of gliding as usually. Since combined with very tired eyes and feeling exhausted. Is this common in fibromyalgia?
Did you get the double vision too? I hate this symptom with a passion, but can self correct my focus quickly.
Isn't this absurd that our teeth ache when all is well with them or without them..
I was hoping to not be on gabapentin forever, now I don't know 😕..thank you Bobbie 3 for getting back to me. Hugs 🫂
Yes, at least once a month. I have been in the ER twice thinking it was a heart attack. Many of my friends that have fibro also deal with costro.
