Close Fibromyalgia
I am Woman That Never Stops...a name gifted to me because I always stayed so busy. Now I find it hard to get out of bed on some days. I have the same story that many of you have...misdiagnosed for years, different meds, different and sometimes torturous treatments. The last pain clinic doc I went to diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. I tried the chemicals but they didn't set well with my body so I am using acupuncture and other traditional medicines to try and fight the FM.
Treatments
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- Working quite well for me. And my GP supports and works with my acupuncturist
- Ambien Not Working
- Horrible nightmares, difficulty with breathing.
- Cyclobenzaprine Working / Worked
- Years ago...but not at this point.
- Cymbalta Not Working
- I got all the side effects with none of the benefits. Emotions all over the place and very intense.
- Elavil Working / Worked
- At the beginning.
- Heat Somewhat Helpful
- Lyrica Not Working
- All the side effects with no benefits.
- Neurontin Not Working
- TENS Not Working
- Ultram Not Working
- No effect at all. Recently read that with FM the brain doesn't produce the opoid receptors necessary to make Ultram and other opoids work.
Close Diabetes Type 2
Diagnosed years ago with adult onset...family history. I have been pretty successful in keeping my sugar under control but I grew up in a diabetic household so it makes it easier.
Treatments
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- I eat mostly whole foods and it really does make a difference.
- Glyburide Working / Worked
- Beyond working now
- Metformin Working / Worked
- Seems to work well for keeping my glucose under control
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Walking and doing tai chi...trying to get up to 30 - 45 minutes in order to get the lipids moving so that my body starts to process the fat it has stored up.
Open High Cholesterol
When they first checked my cholesterol, it was so high it didn't even register. Now this is for a person who doesn't eat any fat, no chicken skin...none of the "bad" stuff. And if I go off my meds, my cholesterol goes right back up. So I guess its a life of pravachol for me.
Treatments
- Pravachol Working / Worked
- got it down to the high side of normal
Open Hypothyroidism
I have multiple health issues but I think I have had problems with my thyroid for a while. I have suffered from unexplained hoarseness and coughing for years. My GP has suspected my thyroid but none of the blood work ever shows anything. My acupuncturist picked up on it and has treated me for it and has me taking Thyro Forte which has made a big difference in my life.
Open Trigeminal Neuralgia
Just recently diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. Having a rough time dealing with it. I thought it was just an ear problem at first. Then the whole side of my head began to hurt and the skin became so sensitife to the touch.
Treatments
- Acupuncture Somewhat Helpful
- Between that and some herbs it has helped but it seems to be flairing up again. So I have an appt with my DO the 3rd of July.
