    Hello there, I am brand new here and I hope not to make any faux pas during my 'initiation' phase. Lol!

    Interesting Talk with Pain Doctor

    So yesterday morning I had a second appt. with my new pain doctor to assess how I was doing. I told him my goals were to get as healthy as possible so I could go back to work (which is financially necessary). In the alternative, I explained that I may have to file for disability. He asked me...

    What works to calm you down?

    I take epsom salt baths and listen to music. I think the hot water calms my muscle spasms. I do light exercises that I have picked up from physical therapy. That stretches everything and seems to help me sleep a little better. If I don't I can wake up very stiff. I drink uncaffeinated green tea...

    A Complainer

    I have never liked going to the doctor and usually only go once a year for an annual physical/check-up. I have 'complained' in the past to my family physician about muscle soreness, tiredness and stiffness. I was referred to a rheumatologist who barely did a thorough exam. The points where he...

    Any thoughts on antivirals

    I was thinking of trying antivirals again, I tried them a few times years ago based on a theory from my dentist when I told her about my muscle pain and how it related to my gingivitis. I only tried them a couple of times and was very skeptical. It just popped into my head today as my gums are...

    Lesson Learned!

    Well. I have learned not to mess with a good thing! Last month I went and saw my doctor and asked her if we could try Lyrica instead of Nurotin which I have been on for a little over a year. She agreed to switch the meds up.... okay this is what happened :oops: ..... After a few days of taking...

    Help!

    I was diagnosed with FM in 2007 by my PCP. He has been treating me with different things over the last 7 years. We are doing Lyrica right now and for the most part it has helped, but I have been feeling worse and worse for the last 4 months or so. I am also prescribed muscle relaxer and...
