Heat bothers me tremendously. Summers are pure torture . It completely wipes me out for even a short amount of time exposed to heat or sun, and high humidity seems to double the negative effects. Even when the temps inside the house are warm it makes me extremely irritable. And if I know I...

I wanted to add that I am not opposed to going to other locations close to those areas. So if you know of someone even in an area not listed above, throw that at me too. Thanks

Looking for a doc you or someone you know has had personal experience with. I can travel anywhere in the regions of or very close to Harrisburg Hershey Reading Lancaster Lebanon Philadelphia Thanks in advance,

Thanks so much!

For a doc in an area or is that against forum rules. I am on a phone and searching is a pain too. Lol:) I saw the doctor area but what that seemed to be was every doctor in every one of my areas with no specific personal experience attached to them. If I can, I am willing to travel from...

Hi forgot to come back here. Thanks!

I am glad to hear you say it is worth the pay. It felt so good to get everything done that I did!

Lol it does feel better when it is clean. I have to figure out how I got that illusive night of sleep. I keep trying to replicate with no luck. I would love clean a lot more before it gets completely out of control again :lol:

So sorry to hear you are having a rough time. Sleeping is an issue for me. It is very frustrating and I am sure depressing combined with the pain. Is mariposa talking about a biomat? I borrowed one from a friend one time and they are pricey but I did feel a lot better all over and slept...

This past week I finally got one good night of sleep in I can't remember when, then the next day...you can guess. I felt half way decent and went flying around my house picking up, cleaning, organizing. Now I am back where I started and tired as ever. But things were in such a mess I needed...

I dont use pain meds as I have a high pain tolerance and I do a lot to. That being said, it doesnt mean I havent done a lot to get to this point. One thing that helped me the most was to get a temperpedic knockoff mattress from walmart dot com. The difference in my pain in the morning has...

I have been using self care methods and seeing a massage therapist for some time to deal with the pain. However, that being said I have a pretty decent pain tolerance, but then again most fms folks probably do too. When we had a bathtub, (only a shower now) I took epsom salt baths That seemed...

It's a crap shoot for me. I just woke up from a nap and super groggy, other times I am slightly refreshed. I have never had a nap and popped up saying wow I feel better though. Lol. Wish that were the case. I try to take a nap every day as it seems to help more often than not.

I haven't seen a doctor of any sorts except a massage therapist, a midwife for the birth of my son, and a chiropractor here and there until this past winter when I established care with a new doctor. How would you go about discussing fibro/cfs with a new doctor.:shock: I kind of have a little...

This may or may not help you, but maybe it might help someone who reads. I have dandruff and know that is part of my problem with the itchiness. Using tea tree oil for years and hasn't helped with the itchiness. Some time ago I read to try coconut oil. I melt the oil (usually I can just sit...
