    Birth Control & Fibromyalgia

    Hi everyone, I'm 23, diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in September 2023, and I've never been on birth control but am considering starting. Did anyone have any adverse side effects from being on the pill as a Fibro sufferer? Might it worsen pain or other symptoms (brain fog, mood, sleep, etc.)? Any...

    @dorlanski Hi! You might want to checkout the other sections on this forum like "Medication" or "Symptoms". Unfortunately I don't have experience with naltrexone

    Does medication help

    I developed Fibromyalgia in Jan 2023. I saw a general doctor who gave me Gabapentin to try. He didn't diagnose me with Fibromyalgia or anything yet, but he suggest I try it to see if my symptoms were nerve-related. I said OK. Gabapentin improved my back pain but did nothing else for the rest of...

    Anyone wake up with numb nerves?

    I definitely agree. I don't live in the U.S. so there aren't many fibromyalgia specialists where I live. I just see neurologists. The downside is definitely bias and misunderstanding the disorder. But because of this I don't let the doctor's words really get to me. I came to the conclusion that...

    Unexplainable Tremors - Anyone Else?

    Thank you so much for your response! This is so comforting to hear. You did mention that you also experience such symptoms during extreme physical or emotional stress, so I'm glad it's not a permanent thing for you either. Yes, I had to see a neurologist I've never seen before because my usual...

    Anyone wake up with numb nerves?

    "Fizzy" is the same word I use to describe what I think you mean. When I've had a particularly exhausting day and I lie in bed at night, I feel a dull "fizziness" in my limbs, especially the legs. It's not quite ticklish but it's almost there. Although, that's not what I feel in the mornings...

    Anyone wake up with numb nerves?

    I mentioned it to my doctor before but he had no explanation for it. Sadly, I've seen two neurologists and they still have some biases and stereotypes about fibromyalgia that makes me feel like my concerns are dismissed. "It's all in the mind" is usually their response for new symptoms I...

    Unexplainable Tremors - Anyone Else?

    Hi everyone, one month ago I experienced hand and arm tremors that lasted for an hour. They started right after I experienced extreme nausea and dry-heaved several times but didn't vomit anything because I had an empty stomach. This was the first time I'd every vomited or even dry-heaved in two...

    Anyone wake up with numb nerves?

    No problem! I'm comforting answering any questions about my experience about Cymbalta. You're right, there's a range of opinions and varying experiences with it. I'm grateful to say Cymbalta significantly improved my quality of life. The only side effect I had in the first couple of months was...
