    So much worse around my period

    Sorry for just seeing this, but no a physician would have to subscribe it. I am just now looking into supplementation for some of my symptoms so the responses above are helpful too. :) I do take magnesium, I'm not sure if it helps with the pre period symptoms or not, but it does help my legs...

    So much worse around my period

    The muscle relaxer sometimes helps my headache and sometimes not. Either way I usually have to go lie down. Baths help too.

    So much worse around my period

    Hi Clare, I'm 38 and my symptoms started about 5 years ago and one of the first things to go wrong was that the two weeks before my period became unbearable. And I'd never had any problems. Now I am in pain pretty much from ovulation to menstruation starting again. I do lots of gentle...

    Dealing with doctors (specifically my Rheum)

    No I am not. Thanks for checking! I am on cymbalta (started last fall) but I have had these instances off and on over the last few years. My original thought was that maybe the cymbalta is making it worse. Rheum doesn't think so. I see my primary in the beginning of September, so hopefully we...

    Dealing with doctors (specifically my Rheum)

    I had my tilt table test yesterday and I'm not sure if they will diagnose me, but my HR went up to 160 and I almost threw up and almost passed out so they put me back down the last ten minutes. I wasn't aware they give nitroglycerin during the test! (and I had researched it pretty thoroughly and...

I thought it was because of pandemic/2020/ my mom dying etc...and it's not that all that stress didn't affect it...it was just I started to not be able to voice...

    Dealing with doctors (specifically my Rheum)

    I thought you'd like to know that I saw a nurse practitioner today (my PCP is on vacation) and told her my symptoms (after I checked out DI above) and she immediately was like "have you ever been diagnosed or worked up for POTS?" She ordered a heart monitor and a tilt table test! My EKG was fine...

    Light sensitivity

    Thanks! I have thought about it but got overwhelmed when I read people's responses to them online! My friend has a pair that he wears to our game night at a friends house (we both have trouble with the light there; he's got chronic migraines, and I get really bad tension headaches). Sometimes...

    Dealing with doctors (specifically my Rheum)

    Thanks Jay. I have my regular appt with my PCP in September so I am just going to keep track of my blood pressures for a few weeks and cut back on caffeine. It definitely seems to be making things worse. I also have all kinds of problems in the deep part of summer usually, in general i feel more...
