    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...

    Please explain to me a flare

    I haven't been diagnosed yet, but I do have a referral to a rheumatologist. The down side is I can't be seen until February 1. I am not entirely sure I have fibromyalgia, and maybe I am in denial. It just seems like from what I read, most everyone has it much worse than I do pain wise. I have...

    Fibromyalgia disbelief

    I haven't been diagnosed yet, but I have a referral to a rheumatologist this coming Tuesday. My referral states: possible arthritis or fibromyalgia. I have been asked by friends and family before if it could be fibromyalgia. Every time I looked it up, I didn't think so. Mainly because I don't...

    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...

    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...
