    Sleepless because of pain

    Hi all, My pain levels have been high enough to not be able to sleep through the night for a long time, so that is nothing new, but in the past month or so they have been so high that I can't stay asleep for more than 45-60 minutes at a time, at which point I am awakened by the pain, and I am...

    I must be cursed

    Well I went to my psychiatrist yesterday and he told me he is quitting his practice and moving to a different state. He at least referred me to someone else. This is the 4th doctor in a year that has left their practice. My rheumatologist left about a year ago, the doctor who was treating me...

    Gabapentin

    Well I went back to the doctor today and she gave me a prescription for gabapentin. Anybody else take this? If so does it work for you? I was told it "might" work but was reading about it and am really worried about the side affects. Normally I do not experience side affects from medication but...

    Sad State

    It is a sad state of affairs that in this country I can not find a doctor who will help me. My PCP is useless. I have called doctor after doctor only to be told no for one reason or another. One doctor takes my insurance but isn't taking on new patients. One doctor is taking on new patients...

    No more sex, please!

    Well I've had fibromyalgia for the past 6 years 1 month 10 days. I only feel getting worst and everything I try I have to say has only helped my drastic swelling. I would swell up to 20lb in one day to another but know it's about 5lb to 8lb. I feel this is a great accomplishment and I hope my...

    Rheumatic Fever/Inherited Disorders

    Thinking back to when I was a child, my mother told me that my father had something, and I remembered it as rheumatoid arthritis. As an adult, it never made sense to me, because my father into his late 70's would walk miles every day, lift things without a problem, never took more than an...

    Ok, I live close to Springfield, Il. It is a town on 117,000 residents. I looked up fibromyalgia doctors in this area and found about 10. I called each of them and was told they were no longer working at that facility. I looked up pain management doctors and could find none. I called my...

    Risks of cancer and fibromyalgia

    Hello, So my mother is the one who has fibromyalgia, she's been diagnosed in 1997. Recently, she went to see a doctor about a spot on her right breast, and he told her it was most definitely a cancerous tumor. She needs to confirm the diagnostic, but I wanted to know if the two are somehow...
