    a new symptom of fibro - jaw pain!

    So weird that the two are related. I have had TMJ for 15 years.

    Feel ignored

    Couldn't have said it better. I learned early on to just say it's my back, or a migraine (which would be true), but anything beyond that is a waste of time in my opinion. People don't want to hear it, and it even bothers the people who do press for more information. "There has to be something...

    Pain/symptom question

    Aside from regular symptoms, the past 2 weeks i've had a specific problem area. It was on and off but for the last 4 days I've hadan extreme knot in my left shoulder blade which carries over to the left side of my neck. Can barely turn my head. I can actually feel the lump where the pain is...

    I feel stupid , embarassed and alone with fibro

    I feel the same way. I've experienced symptoms since I was 13 and am now 28 years old. It has gotten to the point where I doubt if any of this is real. I finally got a diagnosis after 14 years and went to this pain specialist that apparently doesnt believe in fibro, which has me questioning it...

    Fibro and addiction

    Sounds very annoying and irresponsible, and this is something that needs to be worked on for sure, but remember however frustrating her behavior is for you, what she deals with internally 24/7 is one hundred fold. The addiction is a response to the constant pain and discomfort. Whether it's a...

    Shakes

    PS i am not on any SSRI SNRI or nerve medication. Just Xanax and pain killers, so the link to serotnin seems unlikely. Also, i've been taking every vitamin possible and there is no difference whether I was on or off of Lexapro, Oxycodone, or Alprozalam.

    Shakes

    I get tremors quite often, and the more I read, the more surprised I am that it's not on the list of symptoms when i research fibromyalgia. It seems to happen when I'm over worked (I work long hours of moderately physical labor). I usually start to feel extremely tight in my neck, hands, and...

    Mthfr??

    Just got a few blood results back, lab messed up 2 of my 8 viles though. Anyone else hear about this MTHFR gene mutation? MTHFR produces enzymes from B vitamins, Folic Acid, I think. First i've ever heard of it, apparently it's very prevelant, something around 60 percent of population has a...

    Kratom: A Fibro Essential

    Glad you tried it Destiny. There really is no controversy, all media hype and fake products. As for liver problems, teylenol and other NSAID's are literally dozens of times more harmful to your liver than an actual overdose of Kratom. Actually NSAID's are more harmful to your internal organs...

    Kratom: A Fibro Essential

    Yes Kratom is an opioid, not an opiate (derived from poppy plant eg. Morphine, hydrocodone, oxycodone, tramadol). The plant mildy effects the u opioid receptor, however has many other alkaloids. I've been on everything from naproxen, to tramadol, to oxycodone, and everything in between. Kratom...

    Kratom: A Fibro Essential

    7 months ago i had never heard of Kratom. After trying a few samples from a friend that vaguely told me about it, i became an avid researcher and epxerimenter. Throughout the internet you will find wildy opposing views about this simple, mostly legal plant. One thing that is for sure is that is...

    Not fibromyalgia after all

    Sounds like a painful disorder, but at least it's not Fibro! Seems to be more localized to the back??? I just went to a semi famous pain dr. for a follow up after my diagnosis and he said Fibro was a bullshit diagnosis (even though he has it listed in his book). I'm getting bunch of blood work...

    Doctors & Pain Meds

    I cannot believe a doctor would not prescribe tramadol. I'm stuck at a point where I've been on pain meds for 4 years now and my dose has barely increased. I've spent time off and on medications but some tolerance just doesn't go away and am always picking and choosing which days i will be...
