- I have just read a book that I recommend to everyone; particularly to anyone having a really rough time. It is called Man's Search for Meaning. Here is a link. http://www.amazon.com/Mans-Search-Meaning-Viktor-Frankl/dp/080701429X
- Here's a recap for those whose memory is as bad as mine...I have been taking naltrexone in addition to Cymbalta and Mobic and the naltrexone gave me lots of energy and also decreased the remaining pain in my hip so that I can now sleep part of the...
- Now my fibro doctor is also telling me to start zyflamed, a natural antiinflammatory, and wean off Mobic. Says Mobic is really hard on the kidneys. That it is meant for short term, not long term. "Naturals" terrify me unless they are in their...
- I am doing very, very well and I want everyone to be as pain free as I am. If I think of my improvement as adding up to 100, I first got20 from meloxicam40 from Cymbalta (30 mg morning, worked after 3 or 4 months)20 from milk, gluten, additive...
- https://www.dropbox.com/s/sbsl6juz0jo1wrg/What%20Primary%20Care%20Physicians%20Should%20Know%20About%20Fibromyalgia%202.docxFor newbies. I found this very helpful.
- In a post i came across two people who thought at one point that they had bone cancer. Me too! It was the only thing that I could think of to explain what I was feeling.How many of you had the same thought? Did people look at you like you...
- There is a very interesting article in Elle magazine this month about a woman who was very ill and for the longest time could not find the cause of her illness. It turned out to be an allergic reaction to genetically modified corn. Two of her main...
- I just watched a Nova documentary on genome sequencing (laundry would bore me to tears if I didn't have something like that at the same time). A couple of posts brought up research.Does anyone know of any research on the genetics of fibro? We know...
- I have realized that necklaces make my upper back hurt -- within three to five hours, depending on hoe heavy.I am starting to suspect that earrings make my jaw hurt (unless hey are feather light).Has anyone else noticed the same? Anyone else want...
- I have a very difficult time remembering who's who. Sorry. It's not lack of interest. It's me, some of our unusual user names, and changes in the pictures. But, the recent question about mynameisd made me wonder about the grandma whose picture was...
- Who has this also? The symptoms of AS and fibro have so much overlap! I imagine that there is no reason that we could not have both. After all, fibro is a deficit in the body's ability to regulate itself, so here is one more area of...
- My memory isn't getting any better and I think maybe I already posted about this, but here it is again because I think this could be helpful to all of us. I know it will be therapeutic for me.Exclude the nasty, mean people. For the rest, I think...
- https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41273321/What%20Primary%20Care%20Physicians%20Should%20Know%20About%20Fibromyalgia%202.docxI am re-posting this link because I found it very useful and we now have people who are new to the forum.
- I have seen quite a number of posts by people upset by the lack of understanding of nonfibro people and I don't want to appear insensitive, but can we expect anyone to understand? When I first got my symptoms I was totally sure that I was dying...
- The post on Hashimoto's and the responses made me think about this and i want to know what everyone thinks. Here is a way to look at fibro. This speaks to Maika's point that people differ on the best way to understand things, to Leo 's point about...
