- bone-chilling weather. Having a flare that started Saturday, and is really nasty today. I feel like I'm on fire. So miserable. *sucks thumb* We're in for five more days of this. Think my husband and daughter don't know what to do with me...
- We've all been there. Overdoing it during the holiday season. I am usually very careful about what I do, conserving energy and resting so as not to go into a flare. Between the lousy damp rainy weather, a cold, and pushing myself too much...
- I came upon this supplement by chance while talking to my boss about his lumbar spondylosis treatment. He mentioned that his doctor recommended taking it for the pain and inflammation. I did some research on it, and found it is also used to...
- Doctor has prescribed several SSRI's over the course of years for the fibro pain, all without much success. Always get extreme nausea and vomitting, so had to stop. Now we're trying Lexapro, 5 mg . . . lowest dose . . . and I am so nauseous now,...
- Let me first say that I think I saw this mentioned on this site, but can't remember for sure. Anyway, I ordered some yesterday - Morton's Epsom Salt Lotion. From my reading, it seems to give the best results and is scent- and additive-free....
- Had to do a major grocery shopping, and basically, all I did was hold on to the cart and point. It's the darned shuffling, stop and go that wears one out. I mean, I literally did nothing but walk, stop and go, and point. My daughter did...
- Okay, I'm not one to complain much, but these horrible weather patterns the last two weeks, and particularly an aggressive front that blew through here today, have my entire body screaming in pain. Even the hair follicles on my head seem to hurt. ...
- No drinking involved! My daughter and I went out to do some Christmas shopping and buy ingredients for making cookies yesterday. We expected to be out a maximum of three hours.Left the house at 11:30 am and headed for the credit union so she could...
- I'm up now because my legs are driving me crazy. Have the moist heating pad on them. This condition seems to have started when my rheumy upped the dosage of amiltriptyline. I also had a birch beer with dinner which contains caffeine. I very...
- I'm laughing and crying at the same time. Our daughter had to have her wisdom teeth removed yesterday, so I took a day off to bring her there and be with her to help her through the next three days. I generally take very good care of myself, know...
- My internal medical doctor has recommended that due to my age (62), I get one. She is aware of my fibro, and works with my rheumatologist. Before I decide, I've been showering go the Internet and medical journals for in-depth information on...
- Along with fibro, I also have mild neuropathy. Numbness, mild itching and tingling in my lower legs and feet, and some times cramping of calf muscles and feet.For the past two weeks, there has been an escalation of stress due to the holidays, and...
- When the pain was very severe in January of 2012 (woke up and barely move my right arm, and the pain was excruciating), I called my chiropractor, who took me in right away. He said it was nerves in my cervical spine, probably my upper thoracic...
- sorry for myself. *sucks thumb*I'm not a complainer by nature, but I seem to have hit the trifecta of crapola today.My 96-year-old mother-in-law is staying with us for ten days so my brother- and sister-in-law can go away for a vacation. There's a...
