    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I have been struggling since i've been a teen with severe fatigue,chronic muscle weakness,heaviness,body pain, headaches and have been to every Dr. and had every test possible. All Dr.'s I've seen have told me I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue and it sucks living with it. It has affected my life, my marriage, I'm a mom to 5 girls all to my husband and they are energetic I can't keep up. I would love to meet people like me and make friends to hang out with- walk, jog and get more active.

      Treatments

      Effexor Not Working
      I was switched to effexor xr for depression and have been on it for 3 years. it doesn't help me with the fibro pain or fatigue.
      Heat Working / Worked
      I am very sensitive to cold, my muscles become stiff and joints hurt like hell. Heat in the summer bothers me but the heat feel good on the muscles and I also go to a tanning bed for heat to help with sore muscles and joints. I know tanning beds are bad but i don't go everyday.
      Vitamin B12 Somewhat Helpful
      I take a handful of vitamins everyday and have to or i can't function. super b-complex, b-12, b-6, zinc and calcium
    • Close Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      I have been struggling since i've been a teen with severe fatigue,chronic muscle weakness,heaviness,body pain, headaches and have been to every Dr. and had every test possible. All Dr.'s I've seen have told me I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue and it sucks living with it. It has affected my life, my marriage, I'm a mom to 5 girls all to my husband and they are energetic I can't keep up. I would love to meet people like me and make friends to hang out with- walk, jog and get more active.

      Treatments

      Klonopin Somewhat Helpful
      doesn't help with my chronic fatigue but helps with dealing with anxiety and panic attacks.
    • Open Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

      hi everyone, along with living with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue everyday of my life- i had a diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome by 2 different doctors. when i hold my arms up, i have no pulse and my shoulders and arms feel extremely heavy & fatigued all the time. They assumed i may have an extra rib compressing on the nerves. at this point they just send me to an exercise/rehab therapist and nothing has helped. does having TOS make your arms feel extremely tired and heavy?

    • Open Migraine Headaches

      I have fibro and chronic fatigue and get Migraines quite often that leave me very sick and dizzy and horrible head pain. I'm having an awful day today. I have slept most of the day. I took 2 motrin earlier. I still feel very off balance sick to my stomach, dizzy and my head is hurting everywhere!! I can't tolerate it.

      Treatments

      Aspirin Not Working
      Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Somewhat Helpful
      Caffeine Somewhat Helpful
      Tylenol Not Working
    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      Treatments

      Celexa Working / Worked
      WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS BUT NO LONGER HELPED.
      Effexor Working / Worked
      HAVE BEEN ON EFFEXOR XR FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS AND SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY ONE THAT HELPS ME SOME ALONG WITH OTHER ANXIETY TREATMENT. I LIKE THIS ONE BEST DUE TO NO DRAMATIC SIDE EFFECTS LIKE OTHERS IVE BEEN ON.
    • Open Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)

      I have many illnesses.I suffer every month with severe PMS to the point where 2 weeks before up until I get my period-I feel a rage & such anger over little things and my mind wonders & I think is my husband cheating, can I trust anyone,I isolate myself and feel so miserable & sleep for hours on end.Sometimes double up on klonopin because of anxiety. Sometimes I feel suicidal. I feel so alone. My Dr. has not diagnosed me with anything other than fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, bi-polar and PMS.

      Treatments

      Oral Contraceptives Not Working
      Zoloft Not Working
    • Open Congenital Heart Disease
      Type: Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA)

      I am a 37 yr. old woman- 135 lbs. and recently found through an echocardiogram done by a cardiologist that I was born with a heart defect. I have a PFO a hole the size of a pencil eraser. I've been struggling my whole life with chronic fatigue,weakness,muscle weakness,also have sinus tachycardia that was found by my family dr. after wearing a holter monitor.
