The evidence that men get fibro too is to great to ignore. Here's an article that talks about it a little bit .I'd get a 2nd opinion by another Dr. before you rule it out -maybe a naturopath or rheumatologist- someone who is more understanding & knowledgeable about your symptoms, and you may...

I've never been able to stay on any medication long enough to know whether they are helpful, my side effects are too severe. Amitripoline is the 2nd thing my Doc gave me to try. I lasted 3 days then had to stop, not sure how to describe it other than I felt drowsy but got anxious, and felt...

Thanks terbaer, it is good to remember that we're not alone. I've been learning to cope and see the positives more in my situation more lately. Symptoms or no symptoms, I've still got a life to live. I hope and pray that you find relief and ways to cope. Thanks again

Agreed fibetoronto most Dr's are way too quick to dish out drugs instead of trying to actually get to the causes of our symptoms. Keep me posted on how your testing goes. I'm also doing some different tests with my naturopath, waiting for the results. In the mean time, I cope as best I can...

No Rottiedog, I haven't tried the autoimmune diet. I have done an elimination diet before, but that didn't seem to improve my symptoms (except I did less headaches). Have you tried it? And if so, did you find it helped?

Today I tried a sleep pill, and it only made me dehydrated, anxious, and drowsy (but not able to fall asleep). Last couple things I've tried have been equally ineffective and had bad side affects. I'm just so sick of convincing myself to try something that I think/hope will make me feel better...

She should be honest with herself. If she is barely getting through each work day and feels like her health and her work is suffering because of overdoing it at the job, then I would say that she should stop working. I am in a similar place to your friend, after a year of working where I was on...

I have a problem: I am drastically sensitive to any stimulants. I've always been very affected by even tiny amounts of caffeine (although that didn't stop me from consuming a lot of it in college, probably to my detriment). The "high" really brings me up, but with that I also get very irritable...

You are def. not alone, tiredofitall. As a 25-year-old, I feel your pain and I'm sorry that it's been so bad for you. Good job on quitting smoking, I think the less things we come to rely on as crutches to get us through, the better we off we are. A few things that work for me are consuming some...

Wondering if anyone has ever used the drug naltrexone? My naturopath was telling me about it. Apparently at high doses it's used to combat narcotics abuse, but at lower doses is supposed to really reduce pain and help those with fibro with no side affects. Curious if anyone has tried it or had...
