Fibromyalgia Support Group
You're not alone in your pain. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. If you're trying to cope with pain throughout your body, sleep problems, general fatigue, or other common fibromyalgia symptoms, you're in the right place. The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
If not can you call 911 or have someone take you? I know you are concerned about your Cat but you have to take care of yourself.
Maybe you can leave the cat with your Vet? I am sure that they would help you. People are very kind if you reach out and ask for help.
LDN works slowly, so don't expect anything dramatic right away.
Immodium might at least get you to the lab (but you should take it at least 6 hours after the LDN). If you are very, very sick then, think about the ER. ERs tend to frustrate me since they just seem to get you well enough to get out the door, and they won't order the same tests your doctor is likely ordering. If you are sick enough to be admitted that is a different story.
I am so deeply sorry for your losses sweetie. Gentle hugs to you.
Your Blood pressure is really high. What did the Dr. say about it?
It also could have been high being nervous going to a new Dr too. That is called White Coat Syndrome. Google it and read about it.
Please call your Dr. tomorrow and let me know what happens.
Deep breaths....in thru the nose and slowly out thru the mouth.
I know it is so hard to relax when you are so worried about so many things. You are not alone and we are here for you. Try to figure out a way to get your blood work done. Even if you have to take your cat with you. Whatever works for you.
Stress can definitely trigger these kind of things, but it is also works the other way. if you feel miserable, that is stressful! Maybe you can take a warm bath and do whatever helps you de-stress. Hopefully, the tests you are going to have will lead to effective treatment.
I don't know about with LDN helps people with IBS, but I wouldn't be surprised. There are a lot of conditions that it seems to help people with.
Pepto bismol can also help with the diarrhea temporarily.
Take care good care of yourself for now. And I hope you feel better soon.
I agree with the thought that you need a full workup by a gastro - I don't know how much weight you've lost but 90 lbs would be a pretty scary weight for most people.
