My Dr. and I submitted an appeal to the insurance company and because I am a medically retired civil servant another appeal to the Government, the Government ombudsman was unable to help and deferred to the insurance company. They replied that they are already meeting the minimum requirements...

I appreciate your kind thoughts and my heart goes out to you as I do know how impossible it would be for me to overcome the loss that you have endured. Thank you very much. I take Duloxetine for my Allodynia and it helps with my sensitivity to touch, it is also an antidepressant but I am just...

You are without a doubt a rarely fine, kind Lady. I am blessed to have crossed your path. Thank you for your very kind words. I appreciate your suggestion regarding how to get extra Fentanyl but I am afraid that it isn't legal though. I spent many, many hours trying to explain to my insurance...

I remember your (very distinct) name on a different Fibro site. If I remember correctly, it has been several years. Sorry for the delay but it has been a bit tough, the last few days. I surely send you my best wishes.

Hello and thanks for the reply, Life used to be much better, before my insurance company decided that they no longer needed to provide an effective number of Fentanyl patches. I have explained to them in so many conversations "how much time I now have to spend in bed". The truth is that they...

Hello Vicky, I used to follow your posts on a different site and got to know your story somewhat. I feel very sorry that you are in such a tough situation. I am very embarrassed that there appears fromall that I have read that people of my gender are as a rule much less supportive to their...

Hello Herrera, I have used the Savella for several years and received some benefit from it. I would definitely try it if I were you. For some it truly is a magic bullet. I had some negative side effects that I suffered as a male that wouldn't be the case for a woman. One wide spread side effect...

Hello Sabrina, I have been experiencing the same things for several years now. I get very tender to touch, occasionally I am so sensitive that I feel pain when my wife caresses my arms or chest. I did some research and then discussed it with my Neurologist and he explained that there is a...

My neurologist at my pain management clinic said that, lower temperature, as well as changes in barometric pressure cause flares. I became a winter bird in order to escape the rainy and snowy climate of northern Utah. It helps very much to be in the desert where there are few changes in...

Zolly, one of the most important things that you must always remember in your life. From now on, understand that there are 2 distinctly different types of people. The ones that bring positive energy and try to leave things better than they found them, then there are the negative ones that affect...

My first symptom, maybe 5 years before my Fibromyalgia diagnosis was a progressively more common tremor in my left hand. I have long since retired it from any duties because it has failed me so miserably. It always drops things, spills, can't type, operate a remote control, dial a phone, it's...

Re: marine phytoplankton claims to be "effective in treating" fibro: overly optimisti I have been suffering this condition for many years now and have heard endless promises of naturally healing herbs, superfoods, yoga, and so many other things over the years now. People do want to believe that...

As a young boy, I was adopted and had no contact with my fathers family until his death. At that time I met an elderly Aunt. At that time i had been diagnosed 5-7 years earlier. She has all of the same symptoms that I have been experiencing for those years. Neither of us had influenced the other...
