- Hi all,I've been going through periods where my left hand and forearm have gone dead and useless. I'm unable to use my hand for even the simplest task and it's supremely upsetting. I saw a nerve doctor, whatever his title really is I'm not sure, and...
- Hi, I've got fibromyalgia, as well as chronic pain in my back, and take Lyrica for my fibro. I haven't had much pain relief from this med and I just wondered if anyone has any ideas on other meds for fibro and how they've worked for you. I need some...
- Right now I am suffering from a nerve problem that has me worked right up.The hospital is just about tall enough for me I guess. I suppose I should let them work on me first though. I just don' t want to go into the hospital again It depresses me...
- HI, I just wonder if anyone out there has any idea whether numbness in the arms and legs can be a part of fibromyalgia or if it's something new I have to worry about?
- Hi,What vitamins and minerals would be good for joint pain? I suffer from it because of my fibromyalgia and it hurts like hell. Right now I'm taking D and B complex. Anything I should add?
- Has anyone else out there bought full life insurance on the chance that they might end their own lives? I've got it and it's paid for fully, though I don't have any plans to use it for that reason any more. It's good to have it mind you. Just...
- I recently had to have a cat scan done on my chest and the upshot of it was that they said the diagnosis to be ruled out was metastasizing cancer. The doctor I was to see to talk about the test never got a copy until I happened to bring a copy my...
- In a weeks time I get the results from a chest and abdomen cat scan I had recently. I'm still in pain from my hernia surgery and I'm going to learn if I have cancer.I found out that I had a shadow or polyp on my lung, my doc used both words so...
- For the last god knows how many years I have felt like a lost soul but having just read Kat's post about incorporating the pain I have and problems of bipolar has really resonated with me. As hard as it seems I plan to try to just get my head around...
- Hi All,I just wanted to thank you all for your responses to my posts and let you know what's going on. As I said I go to 50mcg patches of fentanyl in about a month but I should have been more clear that this was my choice since the drug had stopped...
- I've been on Fentanyl patches for at least four years now and I'm at 75mcg down from 100 and I'm going through withdrawl. It's lasted now for over a month with pain and with physical illness. I'm going to be moving to 50 in about a month and I know...
- Hi, My doc and I have lowered my fentanyl patch from a 100 too a 75 hoping to go even lower later on but almost right away I'm in agony. My knees and low back and ankles are in constant pain. We're also dropping down my gabapentin levels because...
- Hi,Well, I've gone from the 100mcg/h fentanyl patches to the 75's and my body is aching like a SOB. I'm on percocet 5/325 and I looked it up and found that you can get it in 7.5's and 10's as well. I hope my pain doc will raise my dose of that until...
- Is anyone else on magnesium pills out there and what do they do for you for pain management? I'm slowly moving down on the strength of my opioid pain med because I've built up a tolerance to it and my pain doc suggested them as well as epsom salt...
- I've been on fentanyl for years now and it no longer seems to be working very well for me. I also take percocet for breakthrough pain and it does nothing for me at all. I'm going to ask my Doc to change up my meds but I"m not sure what I could go...
