- I've heard about people who have cancer that spreads to many places in their bodies. I just have to wonder sometimes about this body-wide pain and spasms that we get with Fibro.Sometimes I just feel sure that I have cancer because everything hurts...
- I've been getting these pains on both sides of my chest ( different times ), but in exactly the same spots every time. Of course, chest pain freaks me out. I always recover from them... they stop eventually. But it's every day for.... years(?)...
- How many of us have or have had thyroid problems? I started out with hyperthyroidism and was diagnosed with Graves Disease. After trying the meds for awhile my doctor "killed" my thyroid.So now I'm considered "hypothyroid". Taking Synthroid.I've...
- How many people have chronic fibromyalgia? I seem to feel worse every day with fewer rests between pain and new symptoms. I saw my rheumy last week and he just agreed that fibro can get pretty bad for some folks.I'd like to hear from others who...
- Ok, I've done a lot of reading on Prolia and found most people had bad experiences with it. Some did fine and hurray for them. I'm scared to begin this drug.So are there any "good" meds that don't have all these side effects? As of right now I'm...
- I know this sounds plain stupid, but can we eat sauerkraut? I ask because I see a lot of people drink cabbage juice. I know kraut is fermented, which changes cabbage properties, but I've had a little bit and it hasn't bothered me... yet. In fact,...
- Do you all know where your tendons are? Do you know which muscle is which or each organ? My doctor told me to "rub a little of this on your tendons". What the heck? I don't know where my tendons are. There must be a million of them.That was the...
- I saw my Rheumatologist today and was so very disappointed. He's a good doc and very thorough in his exams. But.. he doesn't say one word while he's examining so I never know what's in his mind or what he's finding or not finding. He usually...
- Guess I'm making some progress. Not getting much heartburn anymore. But I'm getting that same old pain in the center of my chest (between the girls). I'm still taking Zantac.Is this common among us gastritis patients? Does anyone know what I'm...
- Does anyone ever lower your dose of Zantac from 15 to 75 when you are feeling better? I have done this before without any bad effects. But thought I'd ask the group. Sometimes the 150's make me pretty groggy. But both doses seem to help. I...
- When I was first dx with Gastritis my doctor told me it was the type that could turn into an ulcer. Can anyone expand on this? Are the symptoms different? I was doing so much better for awhile, but now things are a little crunchy again. Not as...
- What does everyone prefer for constipation or incomplete bowel movements? I've taken Miralax for years, but it's beginning to kind of bother me. I also have Gastritis.Sometimes I just alternate between fiber and Miralax. Any thoughts?
- I've been reading about people who have "flares" so I started wondering if Fibro is or can be "chronic". Mine seems to be in a constant loop, never ending pain, additional problems all the time. I'm sure my MS plays a part in this. Just trying to...
- I am so happy to see that a lot of people are avoiding the standard meds the doctors like to push for Osteo. My bone density is bad, but I just can't bring myself to use those things like Prolia etc. I know some people swear by them, but the...
- Can physical activity such as lifting, running the vacuum, cooking, general driving and basic cleaning or working on things kind of kick up Fibromyalgia? Seems like I always feel better if I walk around, but worse if I over-do it, even a little. ...
