I've wondered about this issue for sometime now but didn't know how to word it so it makes sense. I know we all have trouble with our sleeping at night
Finally I thought, " just say it like it is" so here goes. Every day when I realize that dusk is coming,.I start to actually get anxious and dread seeing the darkness come. This wasn't too bad in my early diagnosis but in the last year or so it's turning into a fearful, anxiety filled drama. I know I'm going to have trouble with sleep, and it's… read more
Fibro is why I retired.
Is there anything u can do to help fibro fog?
I don't know. I had it for many years and then I woke up one day and I didn't get it anymore. All the other symptoms of my fibro and fatigue were there as before but the fog was gone. I don't know… read more
Curious if there is an antidepressant that helps people the most with their moods?
Refried beans works for me as well. Pinto kind.
I just got diagnosed a few weeks ago with Fibromyalgia. I have had scalp tenderness on and off for years. I've talked to a few of my doctors about it. No one has given me answer.
Such good advice. I try to take care if I have any problems. Thank you
I do have IBS. WOW. They reclassified it. Yes, most people have no idea when I say I have Fibro. But some do. IBS comes and… read more
Does anyone here suffer from IBS, this is as bad as any of my other symptoms. OMG HELP!!
What helps me, when necessary, is chewing just 1/2 of a *Pepto Bismol Tablet. This helps to "harden things, Just A Bit. But not too much. I don't do this, too often. But if things are WAY, out of… read more
Does anybody else have swallowing problems, where when you eat and go to swallow food gets stuck in your throat, food won't go down, not even with water, and can't cough it up! It's happened several times to me. Was wondering if this could be something like MS, or Lupus, or was just wondering if anybody else has swallowing problems? Any information helpful! Will need to go see the Dr anyway at some point!
I read about this problem on the fibro information page. I can't remember what it said but fibro can affect your muscles and your swallowing.
I suffer with fatigue more than pain, or maybe I manage/cope with the pain better than I cope with the fatigue.
I have well-meaning friends who say things like “how’re you sleeping” or “have you tried lavender?”... etc and I get so frustrated that people don’t understand, it’s irrelivant how much sleep I’ve had, it does not refresh me and I’m still fatigued, day in, day out, no matter what I do or don’t do.
One description I’ve come up with is “it’s so tiring to move and my body feels so… read more
The best way I describe chronic fatigue is I feel like I was just administered anesthesia! I have fibro also so I'm in pain 24/7. Sometimes I can push through the pain but I have not found anything to… read more
I saw many doctors, have been diagnosed with Fibro. I have tried every specialist recommended from Rheumotologist to pain managements. I've been on so many prescriptions with no benefits. I quit a job that I made a career of for 24 years due to my many health issues, memory lapse, and being so sensitive to noise & crowds. (Total opposite of the real me , or how I use to be). I tried to apply for Disability, but was denied . I hired a Disability Lawyer, and still have been denied. The reasonings… read more
I am in the process now with disability. It is a struggle and the amount of specialists that I have seen has given me so many answers. I did not realize that PCP really are not experienced with many… read more
Has anyone found that their fibro has got worse over time?
I got better after 5 years. Not cured but better. Probably the most helpful thing is I take trazadone for sleep. Getting 7 hours of sleep most nights is huge!
