    I need advice and guidance

    I joined this forum and group because I feel like I'm starting to graduate from the denial stage of what I'm starting to acknowledge as my long term life affecting issue. The pain started about 2 years ago. I was in an interesting and challenging phase of my life and had a bad habit of self...

    Kratom---Beware

    There has been some recent activity here about the benefits of kratom, specifically from one company and one new member. I have to speak up. Be aware that this is not approved by the FDA for human consumption. It is derived from a plant in Thailand where it is used as a substitute for opium...

    Anyone trying to live without prescription drugs?

    I took Lyrica a couple years ago for 3 weeks, but stopped due to the side effects...dizziness and constant sleepiness. Now my pain is intense again and my doc prescribed Cymbalta. Sounds like the side effects can be pretty bad with this one too. I really don't want to start taking it. Is...

    Meds for Pain

    For my fibro related pain, I currently have been taking Tramadol 100mg 4xs daily and Tizanadine 1-4mg, they are scored, as needed. I also take Cymbalta 60 mg once daily. Anyway, to get to the point, the medication no longer seems to manage my pain. I've been taking the medication for over a year...

    worried

    I'm worried about getting a flu shot. Many of you have talked about having large swellings at the site of the injection. I have some new (new to me) autoimmune disease that they haven't identified yet. It causes extreme swelling. My GP said he thinks it has to do with my synovial tissues...

    How Fibromyalgi affects my day?

    It is a huge pain in the neck - no pun intended. All the drugs make me sicker than the fibromyalgia or prove to be quite useless. I'm finding that healing meditation & Qigong are about the only things that have made a positive difference. My internist is completely onboard and I don't see the...

    Chiropractor

    I met a Chiropractic doctor the other day and she said anyone with FM, RLS etc. should definitely see a Chiropractor. FYI, I also have RA. Has anyone tried this? she seemed to think that she could get me off the FM drugs by working on my spine. Thanks

    Enbrel or Humira?

    When I saw my rheumatologist last week, she said she wanted me to read up on Enbril and Humira. For goodness sake, they both can make you susceptible to TB and Enbril can also make you more susceptible to some types of cancer. I don't know what to do. Who wants to take a drug like those...
