- I have an almost four-year old who has recently been complaining frequently (like daily, several times a day to different people) that she doesn't feel well, and/has a headache. I am able to determine quickly that there is nothing really wrong and...
- I have been having worse fibro symptoms before and during my period since it started back in October. I am used to that, and it has improved a lot since getting a good combination of meds and coming off birth control pills.My question is this. The...
- It's nice to have a place to vent where people understand. Especially because today is one of those days I feel like screaming, NO ONE UNDERSTANDS!!I way over-did it yesterday, and of course paid for it today. Extreme fatigue, lots of pain, just...
- So I had two rotten nights of sleep in a row so of course now I am in a bad flare on my days off. :( The skin on the back of my arm has been hurting, super sensitive almost like when you have the flu or a sunburn. This is not new for me, comes and...
- I just need to vent. Typically my husband is awesome.....he helps out tons with what I can't do, and picks up a lot of my slack when I am not feeling well.However, on weekends, especially when we have my step-daughter, it seems like he does a lot...
- I was diagnosed with fibro a month ago, after months of post-pardum joint pain, followed my muscle pains. Every time the fibro flares, usually around my period, my right knee swells. Not terribly, but noticeably. I am wondering why it is...
- I am quite astonished at the number of websites, doctors and products that I have come across in my fibro research that claim they have the "secret" to "curing" fibro. And to be honest it all looks like a bunch of boloney. Are there really that...
- I am new to this board but been on DS for awhile. Let me give brief background.I moved from NY to IL four years ago to be with my husband. Left behind my whole family (mom, dad, sister, grandparents). My parents are divorced and both remarried. ...
- Anyone try this? Was it helpful?Going to ask my chiro about it. I am having a lot of symptoms of what seems like sternocleidomastoid issues.Thanks.
- Just got my diagnosis today....rheumy was able to pretty much rule out Lupus and RA for now. So it's down to fibro.He gave me Cymbalta to try during the day and Flexaril for evenings to relax muscles and get good sleep.Hoping to be feeling better...
- I am new here, no diagnosis yet...so far drs have said maybe RA, maybe Lupus, but no answers. Was reading on fibro and sounds like I may have it.How did all of your pain start? How did is spread? I am really interested in hearing different...
- I am not yet diagnosed, but have some weird AI thing going on. Dr thinks it might be lupus.Anyway, I just got out of the shower and noticed a red, blotchy rash on my right knee and thigh (right knee is my worst, most swollen joint) and on my chest....
- I am going to be having extensive blood work done in April, including ANA. For now, my rheumy has me taking 600mg ibuprofen every 6 hours in the week before and during my period, since this is when my symptoms are worse. I am wondering in this...
- Just need to vent a little.....I have been increasingly tired the last week or so. Exhausted is more accurate. I sleep well every night, usually 9-10 hours, (thank god my little one sleeps 11 hours!!), but I wake up just as tired if not more tired...
- Did any of you ladies have a negative ANA result soon after your symptoms started? If so, did it eventually turn positive, and how long did that take?My symptoms started in October after the birth of my daughter and have gotten progressively worse....
