    • Hug

      From DixieBlue October 12

      Haven't seen you in quite a well! I am hoping that means that you are much better and out living a relatively normal life. Since I haven't heard from you, I am removing you from the list in the hopes that you don't need this kind of support anymore and have found the support you need elsewhere. If you want me to add you back as a friend , just let me know and I will do so!!!

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I'm 48 and I was diagnosed with FM about 2 years ago. My days and nights are painful, sometimes bearable, most of the time not.

      Treatments

      Acupuncture Not Working
      I had 6 treatments and I only noticed a difference after the 1st time.
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      I've been taking this for about 4 years. While it doesn't take the pain away completely, sometimes it takes the edge off.
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      It takes the edge off but doesn't completely take away the pain.
      Ultram Somewhat Helpful
      takes the edge off. Even though I'm on the ER it doesn't last but about 4 hours at a time.
    • Close Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

      I have had IBS all my life but never knew what it was until a few years ago. I have not found anything that works during an IBS attack

    • Open Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      Since I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia I noticed that I am so tired most of the day. So tired to the point that I find myself falling asleep sitting up. For being so tired and sleepy most of the day you would think I would sleep well at night, wrong. Quite frequently I feel like I just don't have any energy and I'm just dragging my toosh around.

    • Open Chronic Pain

      I hurt every single day. Sometime I can tolerate it, but when I have a flare up the pain I feel goes beyond a 10.

      Treatments

      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      I'm taking Vicoprofen which is Vicodin/Ibuprofen. It takes the edge off but doesn't take the pain away completely.
      Oxycodone Not Working
      Didn't work for me at all.
      Darvon Working / Worked
      I was given this for breakthrough pain. Works pretty good so far.
      Ultram Working / Worked
    • Open Osteoporosis

      I had a bone density test last year. They diagnosed me with osteopenia, especially in my hips. My mom had osteoporosis extremely bad, so bad her vertebra's would crumble. My sisters also have osteoprosis so I guess its genetic. I just hope mine doesn't get any worse.

      Treatments

      Boniva Working / Worked
      Worked fine as far as I know.
      Calcium Working / Worked
      Works fine as far as I know.
      Fosamax Working / Worked
      I just started this one because my insurance company offered it to me at a lower cost. Have no idea if its working or not.
    • Open Menopause

      I can't remember when I had a hysterectomy, I'd say about 5 years ago.

      Treatments

      Estradiol Working / Worked
      Worked great for a couple of years then stopped working.
      Estratest Working / Worked
      Helped a little. Wasn't comfortable taking something with testoserone.
    • Open Restless Legs Syndrome

      My legs constantly hurt. Sometimes its just an ache and sometimes it hurts enough to cry. On bad days I move them for hours.

      Treatments

      Requip Working / Worked
      So far so good, its working. Yipeeeeee!
