This is my first post. Woohoo! ;) I have Crohns disease & since my last surgery 2 yrs ago I've been going downhill. It was a long recovery of 6 wks and then I got bronchitis. Since then I have daily aches, exhaustion, recently started migraines with aura, stiff neck, sore neck, and hip pain. My...
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...
My neurologist told me that my headaches stem from stress. When my neck gets tense, it goes up to my head. It's a fibro thing, he says. I never thought of it that way. Anyone else have chronic migraines? If so, what do you take for them? I was prescribed Imitrex.
I've always been shy, have had depression since probably middle school. Always was getting sick when I was younger and even now seem to be moderately sick a good deal. My shoulders and neck always feel very tense and I get a lot of migraines. I have stomach issues (something maybe IBS related?)...
For the past week and a half I have had stomach cramps (mostly right above my left and right hip bone). I hadn't started my period so I thought it was a little strange (I normally only get cramps on day 1 or 2) but still wasn't too worried. Well now a week after my period started I still have...
Do any of you know a good pain management doctor in the DFW area (specifically McKinney, Plano, Allen would be great, but I'm willing to travel further into Dallas)?
My doctor has been great until recently. He has been weaning me off of my hydrocodone that I have been on for a bulging disc in...
My pain started a year and a half ago in my hands, then my feet. 5 months later I went to the ER with chest pains and was diagnosed with chostocondritis. 3 months after that the horrible migraines started, then the neck pain, then the throat, more chest pain, breast pain, and stomach issues the...
So many of you have experience with medications and as i have posted my fibro has become much more severe lately...lots of extreme stiffness with a kind of burning tightening band that makes my upper arms shoulders and legs rigid.
If i go to reach for something it pulls all up the arm neck and...
Hello everyone,
I am completely new to all of this (fibromyalgia). I have some questions and hopefully you all can help me. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 2 weeks ago by my pain management DR.
He put me on Gabapentin 600mg / 3 times a day. It seems to "help" but does not completely take...
Good morning everyone! :razz: I am newly diagnosed with fibromyalgia and feel a little relief knowing that there is a reason for all my discomfort and symptoms. I know that stress really intensifies my symptoms... severe brain fog, anxiety, tingling of feet hands and tongue, dry eyes, chronic...
