Hi, Here are the details behind my question. I have been talking to various clinics who 'claim' they have had success with Stem Cell Replacement Therapy. I am very concerned that this might be a waste of time and, of course, a substantial amount of money. I started on a 65 day Juice/Vegetable 'Joe Cross' diet as I had watched 'Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead 2' and a woman on there maintained that the 65 day 'ReBoot' had cured her Fibromyalgia! I only lasted 2 weeks! I lost a stone but have put it… read more
Thank you for your response. I am changing my diet. No more Diet Coke, no more sweeteners or low fat yogurts. I am cutting out anything with Aspartemin in it. It's poison. Merry Xmas from Bip
If you have had shingles in the past can this be a trigger for fibro.
I have not been diagnosed at the moment but I'm showing all the symptoms. X
I had chicken pox as a kid and shingles twice as an adult. I got the Shigrex Vaccine, it is not a live virus and shouldn’t cause shingles, though it has swollen glands and joint pain. At the time I go… read more
I was diagnosed with this after EMG nerve conduction test.
Has anyone been diagnosed with this or have heard of it?
My primary care dr has never heard of it?
I have never heard of it. Googled and found that my autonomic dysfunction may be related to fibromyalgia. Thanks for sharing.
I had arthritis pain seen I was 29 yrs old and was just told that I have fibro this year. My joints and muscles get stiff and ache. I have arthritis 97% of my body. I also have nerve pain from all my surgeries I had. I'm trying to figure out if I do have fibro or not.
It takes a while to diagnose fibromyalgia if I were you the first thing I would do is go on Google and look at the 12 fibromyalgia points and see if it applies to you I believe now there are 15 and to… read more
Hi! Wondering if anyone experiences electrical shocks throughout their body? I get them so badly my body actually moves on it's own. If I get one in bed, my whole body raises off the bed. Once, while drinking a glass of water I got a shock and hit the glass into my teeth. No broken teeth...that time and I hate drinking out of plastic! :)
I went to a MAPS clinic, just once...and when I told the PA about the above, using the bed as an example, I was told it was probably static electricity in… read more

@A MyFibroTeam Member, Excellent advice! I just talked to my pain doc about the bursa shots and he mentioned exactly what you listed, but added "everyone is different, so try it and see what works… read more
Is it common to be numb all over including your back and head/neck area?
Yes. I have that happen a lot. Especially in my head and neck and face.
Yes. I believe it to be my diabetes; it could be both... SMH
I haven't found the right pain specialist yet to get a radio frequency ablation to try to avert having a fusion (long story) but I have needed Fusion for many years now but I keep hearing that people have to keep going back and getting another Fusion a year or so later because once you get one Fusion , it weakens adjacent areas. Also, for those that don't get a fusion even though they need one, what helps you with this horrible pain which for many also extends into the shoulder and the arm and… read more
Agree w/neurosurgeon, and cervical fusion isn't too bad... It's lumbar fusions that tend to put so much strain above and below the area fused causing problems. 😘
