I'm having a flare. I don't think I need to describe how I feel - you've all been there. I got up this morning, per usual, and did my morning Range of Motion Yoga (that I made up for myself). I put on a Tiger Balm patch (which doesn't help, but hey, I'll try anything) I took 2 tramadols I...

i've used it but it didn't work for me. One of my issues is muscle spasms/cramping. For whatever reason, when the needles were applied, it would trigger various muscles in my back to spasm. I have also tried massage, cupping, scraping and .... dry needling. I have to say the dry needle worked...

I’m having a flare in my left side upper back/neck. It’s like a burning pain and I can’t get comfortable. I didn’t sleep at all last night. I feel panicky and hopeless and i don’t know how to resolve it. I’ve used dry heat and moist heat. I’ve taken Valium and tramadol (not at the same time)...

Well, poop. I was hoping you experts had a magical solution. But then again, you'd probably be millionaires if you did. I had to stay at my parents' house for a few days to help my mom post-surgery. Their kitchen is being remodeled, so there was no stove, no sink, etc. Stuff was EVERYWHERE. So...

Hi All, I got a major flare going on. Right side of neck/upper back is basically locked up tight. Can't turn my head, lift my arm, or basically move. Here's what I'm trying so far: Tramadol CBD Rx Ibuprofen Moist heat What else can I try? I called my dr to get Valium and a steroid pack, but...

I was recently introduced to CBD oil at the cannabis doctor's office. I was sure it was going to be a very expensive disappointment. But HOLY S%*!T!!! This stuff really truly actually works! I could not believe it. I have had this knot spasm in my back for YEARS. It hurts to take a deep breath...

Is it just me or does anyone else feel like they spend their entire day just trying to find a comfortable position to sit or stand?

Hey all, Once again, you are all on point. Thank you so much. Sometimes just a little perspective helps. I like the of the chicken/egg concept because I often wonder that too. "Is fibro making my body fall apart slowly? Or do I have fibro because my body is falling apart?" I know I didn't...

Hey Diamond, You busted me! No, I haven't had the tendonitis officially diagnosed. I mean, I have in the past (shoulder) but all the new stuff cropping up has not been seen by a doctor. The hazards of being my own armchair doctor, right? It's just so hard for me to wrap my brain around. Like...

BLARG! Now that I got that out of my system, I want to first thank you guys for helping me prep for my new rheumatologist. I made notes and she took the time to really talk to me. Well, as well as a doctor can talk to their patients, I guess. Anywho, I guess my real question is about...
