Oh honey that is just awful, I do hope it is only paranoia and not a real problem. have you discussed your disease and diagnosis with your boss? This might help her to understand you better and to accommodate you a little. Our labor laws are such that you can only lose your job if you are found...

Heidi, I sometimes gets chest pains too. It almost feels like you have swallowed wind and it is stuck somewhere. When this happens it is quite painful to breathe and you feel short of breath. All that works for me is to go caveman and burp away until it all feels better. It could be a side...

I sometimes have this weird taste in my mouth, just before my IBS flares and I have a mild episode of concentration loss and irritability (almost like some of you might describe the fibro fog). It is somewhere between metal, wet dog and cow behind. (sorry a bit graphic, but this is how close I...

Jowjo, the painful scalp and back of your head could be the sinusitis affecting a nerve. It depends on which of your sinuses have been infected, your sinuses are all connected to your ears, and there are a lot of nerve paths close to our ears, if the infection have spread that far, the nerves...

My daughter's teacher have recently been diagnosed with fibro, and she is going the holistic healing route. She can not take any pain medications it diminishes her concentration levels and reaction speed. They have changed her diet, and she uses an alkaline powder do decrease the acidity of her...

Here I thought it was only me that gets irritated by the smallest of things. I have a very sensitive nose and even the smallest of smells can send me over the edge, and turn me from the most normal person into a terror. Some of the other things that irritate me is scratchy or uncomfortable shoes...

I had to visit the dentist just last week, to replace some fillings that just fell out of their own accord. I initially thought that the two were not related, but as I read your posts this relation seems to be the case. My teeth were fine until I started getting sick, now it is a major...

I am so glad that this is working for you. I hope the effects stays and do not dissipate when your body gets used to the medication. It is so difficult to find something that works, that it is quite a disappointment when it stops working. Please keep us informed on how this changes if it does.

Thank you guys, my problem is I cannot take any additional hormones like the pill etc. It affects my IBS and depression too badly. I am not keen on surgical intervention either, as this just adds to my problems. Two tots and a sick mommy does not go down well. I am very sensitive to medication...

I did some research on Lyrica and coughing even bronchitis are listed as a side effect. The itching and irritation on the other hand might be the start of an acquired allergy, you really should consult your doctor about this especially if it continues with the new medication.

I prefer the strawberry shakes, but get the bodily ones too. I have a sugar testing unit, and my results came back normal every time I tested. Some other possible causes for the shakes could be: medicinal side effects, low blood pressure, n nervous disorder, tension, a drop in body temperature...

A pregnancy can go both ways, the hormones can make you feel better or it can make you feel worse. I had it bad, as the hormones made my IBS flare constantly. Consult your doctor first if you plan on getting pregnant as some of the medication can be harmful to a baby. My sister have to stop...

Sula, I hope they make your diagnosis soon. The relief of finally knowing what the problem is, helps you cope with all the tests and trails to find the solution. The finding of the best medication is by all means a trail and error process, it is difficult to go trough but in the end you find...

Lilly-mae this might be what they call a tension headache, the only relief for it is to sleep it off. Try to keep your stress levels as low as possible, as this is the root cause of tension headaches. You should consider some activities like crafting, or some exercise to relieve some of your...

This might be a sensitive subject to some of you. I had the worst ever menstrual pains this past week, so bad that I just dropped everything and went to bed. The pain medication would not even help, nor a worm bath or a hot water bottle. This set me to thinking and mostly wondering. 1. Do...
