    Possible symptoms

    My pain started with both ankles aching and "burning" in January and a few days later my thighs ached liked I had done a workout yet I hadn't. I hadn't been on the treadmill because I thought that is what caused my ankle problems. Then I started with the tingling and numbing sensations in my...

    New member from UK. Topamax or Topamirate

    Hi all I am from the UK and have had a lot of problems with Lyrica/Pregabalin mainly a lot of weight gain. I am in the process of changing to Topamax /Topamirate.

    weaning off cymbalta

    I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia few years ago. My doctor told me to take Savella, that didn't help me at all. So the doctor prescribed Lyrica, and that didn't help me either, I got sick from taking that medication. The last thing he told me to take was cymbalta 60 mg, once daily, and it...

    We have been unable to find a physician who takes the condition seriously. By that I mean no one cares to do anything but write for medication to the address symptoms. My wife has tried lyrica, Savella, neurontin, you name it. All have made her feel worse. She has used tramadol, Tylenol 3...

    Fibro Flare

    I believe I've had fibromyalgia for about 5 years but it intensified about 2 years ago. I was finally diagosed about a year ago. I've tried Lyrica (which made me gain weight) and Cymbalta (which threw me over the edge emotionally). I've been treated for depression since I went in to a...

    New to this forum but not to fibromyalgia

    I was diagnosed almost 3 years ago with "probable fibromyalgia". Nothing like a definitive diagnosis huh? I have pain mostly in my legs...a deep ache accompanied by tingling like my legs are 'asleep'. They feel cold but are warm to the touch. It is difficult to walk and my gait has...

I've had signs for about 10 years, but over the past two I have really seemed to be struggling. 2 years ago I was diagnosed with Polycysticovariansyndrome and endomitriosis which also both cause chronic pain. 3 years ago I could...
