Fibromyalgia / CFS | Forum profile

Thank you both for your comments.  I too think that this PA may not be experienced enough.  I would really rather see someone who has had experience with Fibromyalgia and the different medicines to try.  When I called him he said it was due to coming off the Lexapro and I should try to "hang in there" until my appt on the 12th.  Of course if it's...

Hello Trisha57, Welcome to the forum. Pain and tingling can be a common Common cold symptom of Fibromyalgia not to worry about. It is always wise thought to have a doctor examine you to make sure you don't have something pressing on a nerve Nerve biopsy Nerve conduction velocity somewhere in your body.

I don't know where Prof. Nicolson is... but all of the announcements that MedHelp posted in the other forums have disappeared.

CassieB, What kind of blood work have you had done? Did they test you for Epstein Barr Virus? I ask because I have been through a battery of tests, kept telling my doctors that my fatigue was not normal, etc. I was told to go on anti-depressants but I refused. I knew I wasn't depressed, just abnormally tired. My pulmonologist finally tested me and said he was 99% sure I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. My primary agreed. After I bought the...

Everyone needs a chance to let their hair down and vent.  It's maddening what we have to deal with. If we didn't have a safe place to vent, I think we just might explode.  LOL

But i have noticed for the past year or so, i cannot do just one thing, i think i have a.d.d. i cannot concentrate on one...

Those that trust in the Lord shall not be disappointed. I tried the Lyrica thing.  Couldn't operate machinary or care for my family as far as that goes.  I take two ibuprophen and two tylenol when I'm hurting so bad I can't walk.   I also have lupus and was amazed how much better I felt when I was put on Plaquinel.  Vit D supplements helped (the prescrption...

Have you looked at the endfatigue.com website? There are all kinds of things which can contribute to fatigue and Dr Jacob Teitelbaum (author of Fatigued to Fantastic) is a respected authority on the treatment of CFS. I'm waiting for my improvement to start, but one of the key things he says is that everyone with a diagnosis of CFS should be treated for Candida. And there are a host of things he recommends as well as a free online...

I've never been tested for the Epstein Barr Virus.  But as I understand it over 70% of the population will test + for that test and theres nothing you can do even if you do test +.  I know not all act the same towards that virus also.  I dunno.... and I'm not a fan of Caffiene, it makes my shakey!
