ibuprofen

I have been through hell and back with the debilitating pain of fibro and the fatigue. I couldn't work, get out of bed to take care of my kids, going to the bathroom took all my effort. I ended up on T3's, and a crazy dose of gabapentin, morphine and tramadol. I ended up staying on this for...

I took Lyrica a couple years ago for 3 weeks, but stopped due to the side effects...dizziness and constant sleepiness. Now my pain is intense again and my doc prescribed Cymbalta. Sounds like the side effects can be pretty bad with this one too. I really don't want to start taking it. Is...

I started having pain back in 2011 after I began a part-time job that was more physical than I had performed before. I was just into my 40s, so not a good idea I guess since all my jobs had been sedentary before. I was in decent shape though and it was just part-time, so I didn't think...

Winter is coming....ugh. Winter is when I really go down - I live in a very wintery, cold, snowy climate which is hard enough to stay motivated for anyone, esp. when it stays dark so long (in the thick of things we get light before 9 and dark before 5). I think it is the cold that gets me most...

I was diagnosed almost 3 years ago with "probable fibromyalgia". Nothing like a definitive diagnosis huh? I have pain mostly in my legs...a deep ache accompanied by tingling like my legs are 'asleep'. They feel cold but are warm to the touch. It is difficult to walk and my gait has...

Hello all. My name is Debbie and I have had fibro since my early 20's, was diagnosed at 30 and have had it for 30 years. I quickly realized, way back when, that there was a big stigma associated with it, so I stopped telling doctors, or anyone I even had it. I just dealt with it. I worked for...

Today was better than the most days. I took Gabapentin,800mg,Ibuprofen 600 mg and Flexeril 10 mg, It really seems to help but I had to fight the drowsiness. You know I didn't win that battle lol. I slept a long time today, the family had to order pizza,I find that we are ordering out more than...

Hi. My name is Linda and I'm 55. I used to be an employed engineer until this chronic pain condition killed my career a few years ago. I haven't been officially diagnosed with fibromyalgia but I strongly suspect that's what the rheumatologist will say I when I see him next week. It took me...

I learned this a long time ago, thank goodness....doctors spend so little time with us and we leave their office knowing almost as much as we knew when we went in. Firstly, request copies of your labs....learn to study them and understand them. Address the highs and low range labs...those...

I was looking at an older post with this subject and it is closed, so I could not add my comments. I take A.M. very seriously. I've been working with alternatives/complementary/holistic medicine for about 25 yrs..I do all I can to avoid conventional medicines...I just had to take a abx...
