Wanted to say thanks for your input on the Fibro board :) I definitely get the tingling thing too...along with numbness sometimes. Guess it's all just par for the course and I'll just add it to all the other odd and goofy symptoms that go with Fibro! lol Have a great day :)

Close Fibromyalgia
I have had Fibro for many years now but the last couple have been the worst. I was only diagnosed at the end of last year because the doctors didn't believe me. It turns out I have also had Rheumatic Fever for about 10 years that went undiagnosed and is probably what caused my Fibro. I am only 28 years old so it is doubly hard because I live in a small town and nobody understands what i go through and/or don't believe me. I just went through my worst flare up ever which was scary.
Treatments
- Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
- Worked wonderful for about 3 months, one of the best I had ever took but after 3 months it just stopped working all together and I was having bad thoughts which i had never had before, increasing it only made the thoughts and negative effects worse.
- Effexor Not Working
- I had a bad reaction to it and after one day knew i couldn't take it. My body felt like lead and I couldn't even move.
- Heat Working / Worked
- I use a heating pad a lot, especially in winter. In winter it helps with aches and pains and also with temperature problems. It also helps to relax tense and hurting muscles.
- Vitamin B12 Working / Worked
- I take it on my own and haven't tried the IV therapy yet but the one I take is a B complex and it says on the bottle to help with metabolism and when I'm not flaring it really helps with energy.
- Paxil Too Soon to Tell
- So far it seems to be working. It helps a little with pain and so far a lot with depression except when I was flaring.
- Ultram Working / Worked
- Just started it. It helped me get through a horrible flare up. Not all pain is gone but I don't want to up it till I have to, it helps a lot and I seem to have more energy.
- Lidoderm Working / Worked
- It helps numb the pain and makes me feel really relaxed which is good but not for day time. Started using at night and it helps a lot and helps me sleep a lot better.
