Success With Neurologist?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has the Neurologist done specific testing? Has she/he set you on a path that your GP or Rheumatologists have not?

The Rheumatologist in my medical group doesn't treat FMS, as it's no longer considered an autoimmune… read more

Has Avoiding Nightshades Worked For You?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have started a nightshade elimination diet a week ago, and despite some painful days after being active, there seemed to be a positive change. A week doesn't give me any sure conclusions, but had less heartburn, fog, and arthritis. Last night a roommate made oxtail soup, and I asked him if it had any nightshades and he said no. After eating a good bit of it he mentioned the peppers he used and I realized my diet regimen was blown
Today my back is completely stiff and arthritic and… read more

I avoided nightshades for a while but it did nothing. I love alot of them and use them to roast because of my diabetic gastropareisis. Makes no difference for me.

Is Anyone Using DHEA To Help Alleviate Symptoms?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I read that DHEA can help lesson pain. Has anyone else tried this and if so is it working? I already take mega doses of Vit D, Vit B, Q10 and Magnesium and also wear a magnetic bracelet! Will try anything other than the usual fibro "meds" at this point.

I went almost two weeks with jaw and ear pain.
It’s an awful feeling of helplessness. I did use Advil and Tylenol (using the hopscotch method). It would ease the pain for a few hours.
