    • Interests

      Finding the answer to the pain would be my most sought out interest. The drugs help, but then I can't hold down a job as I am drugged out. So, interest #1 is trying to find the solution to easing the pain and holding a job. QUIT all drugs in December and working towars a natural cure. Still working!

      From DrLieurance May 22

      www.advancedwellness.us also go to youtube and see TheAWC and watch video on Asyra. NCR does help but it's not the total answer for most also must look into other stressors besides structural. We could do a phone consult. my office # is 941 330 8553 set it up through Pam.

    • Close Chronic Pain

      I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, June of 2005). At first I denied this and claimed I didn't have it. No known cause, no cure . .therefore no fibro for me. Well, I have something wrong with me. I can't think, I can't work, I live in constant pain for th emost part. Enough of that!

      Treatments

      Chiropractic Adjustment Somewhat Helpful
      b4 the fibro helped a lot. Since fibro, too painful to go most of the time, the other times I don't have enough gas money to get there.
      Lyrica Considering
    • Close Brain / CNS Tumors
      Type: Meningioma

      Hello, Dec of 2007 I have confirmation of a brain tumor in the meningioma in the left temporal lobe it is non-cancerous at this time. Size of a small jelly bean. I am scared also, as the operation requires taking a section out of the skull the size of a fried egg and replacing with plates and scrwews. Recovery time 4-6 weeks. I am waiting a few months to have another MRI. I have no idea how long it has been there, nor does the surgeon.

    • Open Hypothyroidism

      I was diagnosed in 2001 and have been on the medication since then. I get a simple blood test from my GP and that is that. I feel like crap and I am constantly cold. I wear a coat in the house. I wear long underwear and two pair of socks all day, with jeans and a sweater. Last summer I was Ok, but then I work outside a lot in the summer. I am never too hot. I have a appointment with the endroc. . . in June. I may have to seek a new doctor before then or the emergency room.

      Treatments

      Synthroid Not Working
      My hair is falling out in big clumps and my doctor won't listen.
    • Open Celiac Disease

      I do not Celiac disease, I have fibromyalgia. I am looking for information concerning foods and diets whihc help with fibro pain.

      Treatments

      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
      I feel less pain with fresh vegetables and fruits. I feel better without caffiene. Still tying the possibilities and detemining what is working and what is making me feel yuk.
