Hmmm what does I thyroid panel look like? I have had tons of bold work done? I went to my gyn and she put me on a low dose of hormone replacement. The hot flashes went away after a few days.

I am just trying to figure out what the heck is going on with my body. I was originally diagnosed with fibro about 6 months a go, but then after blood work came back Dr said I could have lupus or Sjorgens. I have a high positive Ana and a high SS b ;he did a lot of other blood work and...

It sounds like it could be fibro , did they test for lupus and ms? Those are usually standard things they rule out I think? I would suggest helping a journal/log of how you feel each day and then present that to the Dr, that will help both of you see the whole picture.

I have had my fibro diagnosis for a couple of months now a long with a suspected lupus diagnosis. I have known for years that something was wrong and thought that it would be a relief to finally be diagnosed but... Well not so much. My last child is in school all day. This is supposed to be...

I have three kids,three dogs and have been battling fibro and lupus for many years although I was inky recently diagnosed .Things that help me:Decluttering, making the kids be responsible for their stuff and do chores to earn spending money; my irobot roomba love this guy, I have all dark...

My nuero basically wrote me off once he decided I likely have fibro and refered me to a rheumatologist. Every single rheumatologist in my town has bad reviews, and of course I got the one with the worst reviews of all. He only had three but they said he doesn't seem to like women, left almost...

We have one office in my town that specializes in fibro and one thing they do is test for a bunch of viruses and give antivirAl drugs if you test positive, I thought that was interesting. I have to get a referral from my PC though.

Ugh today is a very bad day. I have pain in my shoulders, that's my primary source of pain and neck, elbows, knees, thighs, feet and wrist just that basic run over by a truck feeling except this time the truck ran over me and then decided to back up and run over me again.:mad: I called the...

You can do it! I just hosted Easter for 20 at my new house. I was feeling exactly like you, and almost cancelled. Like you it was pot luck so I didn't have to cook a lot, just get the house prepared, tables set up etc, I did stress way to much and took more than a few pain relievers the day...

I hired a housekeeper for a year or so. But she quit because I kept canceling when I had a flare and couldn't pick up before she came over:-? I know, I know but I have issues:oops: But it did help get me in a bit of a routine. I have 3 kids so I have assigned them chores. I actuall have an...

Just piping in to say that I was put on doxy for a month for a skin condition and had the same thing happen. I felt better than I had in very very long long time for the first couple of weeks and then sort of went back to my baseline. I remember six years ago feeling awesome AFTER I gave birth...

I have never used marijuana, and am an almost 40 yr old soccer mom, in a non medical legal state. But after all the meds the Drs have put me in that have really bad side effects, I would love to try it. I have no idea how to " score" any and would probably have a panic attack if I tried, so I...

My insurance finally approved my sleep study. I go tomorrow night. They didn't tell me a whole lot except to wash my hair but not to put conditioner in my hair:-? Which is funny because I have super thick super long hair that is going to be snarled mess if I don't use some conditioner, and to...

Don't give up, at least you have the dream, like the pp said you can write anytime me, even if it's only an hour a week. I am sort of in the same boat. I got married and pregnant right out of college, I have never had a career, but have always stayed home and taken care of the kids and...

I have had symptoms of fibromyalgia for years. 10-15. It crept up on me slowly. First was the fatigue, but I had just had a baby so they ran a bunch a blood test to see if my hormones were out of wack, etc nothing showed up so they just told me I needed to let my body recover. I also...
