Love dancing and listening to my i-pod. Very interested in fashion and can't help but pay attention to tabloids (don't know why). Love my ferrets with all my heart and value my family very much!

Sorry to hear things are not going well....constant pain is dreadful: heard a Radio programme saying it's a disease in itself. I have Flu - Doc. called yest. & am on Tamiflu (didn't cost anything, as I'm unable to take antibiotics. Right now, a dose of pneumonia might just cure me (for good!) - I don't wantto die alone though. Hope things get better for you. Catch you later. Love JaneD.

Close Fibromyalgia
Treatments
- 5-HTP Working / Worked
- I feel that this supplement used once before bed cuts my pain in half. It really makes a difference in my quality of sleep and also with my pain control.
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- Very helpful for releasing tense muscles and muscle knots. Feel this works better than chyropractics.(sp?)
- Biofreeze Working / Worked
- In an emergency muscle knot situation in my neck if I can self-self massage with this product or something similar I get good results to relive tension right away!
- Cymbalta Not Working
- Helped very much with pain control but suffered massive side effects: very severe constipation
- Effexor Not Working
- Helped again with pain . Very severe mood swings as well and was extremely likely to lash out at those around me. Very bad side effects as well.
- Botulin Toxin Working / Worked
- I am having injections in to my muscle spasm areas. Whole life change for me!Back to work and many less migraines caused by muscle spasms. WOW! I get them in my neck.
Close Migraine Headaches
Treatments
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- Works very well for my Migraines. Can abort a migraine once one has started. THat is rare for any drug I find.
- Aspirin Working / Worked
- Only causes rebounds for me...but if it the only option works best combined with a small amount of caffine.
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Am on a VERY STRICT avoidance diet. So much couldn't list here. Try the "headache cook book". Do follow the "blood type" diet best I can except food allergy foods.
- Axert Working / Worked
- Works okay but not as well as Imitrex. Not using anymore.
- Botulin Toxin Working / Worked
- HUGE success!Using currently , go every three months.
- Caffeine Working / Worked
- Small amounts help me very much but too much over a cut full can do just the opposite.
Open Schizophrenia
My husband suffers from schizoaffective disorder. He was diagnosed just this past Feb. (2008). This just after my chronic illness has left him as our soul earner and my caregiver for the last few years. Now finally I am doing better and then this. My poor husband.

Open Chronic Pain
5 yrs ago I started having muscle spams on my left side and started a major search into why i was shut down. nerve damage on my left side was found due to a iron overload disease that i have. now i suffer pain almost daily due to the muscle contraction from misfiring nerves and then migraines from there. It is a struggle to maintain.
