After years I asked my Doctor what she thought about medical Marijuana? Surprisingly she thought that it was a good idea. It’s the only thing that gives me a few hours of escape from my pain, depression and all of my Fibromyalgia companions that don’t allow me to live any resemblance to a life with quality.
I did that for about three years bit then I started to feel paranoid and had to stop.
I have such a hard time explaining the pain, it moves to different body parts, and some days it is worse than others. It started on the tops of my feet a few weeks ago, lasted a few days then moved to my ankles, them thigh area, now my entire back/trunk area is hurting. It is such a weird sensation to try to explain, clothing hurts, the wind on my skin hurts, this is just getting ridiculous. My rheumatologist told me I need to see my neurologist.....
My skin hurts head to toe and never stops. I certainly understand
Fibro causes many different problems for different people. At one time I had 17 specialists who were coordinated by my wonderful primary care doctor ! That was about 2007. My primary care doctor got… read more
I'm newer to fibro and was wondering if people can be more specific when they say "pain". I'm having a hard time accepting this diagnosis. I have sharp- bee string like pains/ needle picks, burning, very heavy arms and legs and sore muscles. Tingling/vibrations. Aching hands/feet/ shoulders, wrists. Its just so many symptoms!!
For me, I have all over pain 24/7 and the achy muscles and itching all over. It's pretty severe. I've just accepted that I cannot change it and deal with it the best way I can. I have no pain meds due… read more
Does anyone here have to have a blanket on them to sleep even when it's hot outside due to your skin just being so sensitive you cannot sleep, (when you do sleep), without it? It can't be too light of a blanket either for me. And it doesn't matter if it's 100* out. I still need it to be able to sleep.
I am the same way I use a weighted blanket and it helps me.
Can't seem to find doctor who believes fibromyalgia is a legitimate condition and all I get is abuse and neglect. I feel like I need an advocate to help find resources but none seem to exist/be available.
I had a rheumatologist diagnose me, but they said they didn't treat it and refered me to a pain mgmt specialist. I was lucky because I was already seeing that clinic for chronic nerve pain and the Dr… read more
Medical research has found a connection between bipolar people and fibromyalgia. Both hard to treat separately and together it makes quite a mess. Which is what I am going thru now. My medications don't play nicely together.
The vit D thing has been a huge problem for me for years as my body just will not absorb it at all. I think my last test showed me at 10. Really much non-existant. Reading that certain foods with fat… read more
Does anyone else with fibro suffer with a very weak bladder
Me too! I have bladder leakage, I have been to a urologist. Apparently I have a mildly dropped bladder that mostly was caused by childbirth.
Does anyone have any success with natural ways to lower blood pressure and what has worked for you?
I take ultimate flora 30 billion.
