I have been doing a lot of research on <a href="http://www.savvypatienttoolkit.com/fibromyalgia_chronic_fatigue">fibromy algia</a>. I found many things that may help including a page that compares fibro with chronic fatigue. This page also talks about <a href="http://www.savvypatienttoolkit.com/fibromyalgia_chronic_fatigue">fibromy algia symptoms</a> which is helpful in letting your doctor know what is really going on.

Have you though about trying Guaifenesin? Google "fibromyalgia guaifenesin" and read about Dr Armand's treatment. I am trying it now and so far i am willing to continue... I am trying to eliminate all salicylates (e.g. aspirin and certain plany derivatives in many common products) and concentrate on letting guaifenesin eliminate the stored phosphates from my body tissues.

The one thing I can honestly say is thank God I do not have Fibro because at times just having Phnamonuia boughts with my lungs sence I found out how bad that they are get me down latly so bad at time to the point that it has to bwe right next door to bad before I even know I am sick so it is a great thing I do not have fibro. Even the neck pain latly I been having I need shots for that they are trying to get medicade to pay for if i had a ach like that like I have seen my mom go through latly I have a feeling I would never stop bawling if I had that on top of it so I can see exactly whatr you guys mean qwhen you talk about pain. I have had 2 in the last month boughts with phnamonuia again. The last round I got a shot of Rowsephan that is a antibiotic in my hip that can be took I.V. Form but they said they wanted me on a med by mouth 2 times a day for 10 days that should end about Thursday I hope so I hope this fixes that mess this time for good. Hope this time all stays well with you all as well At least for the winter months because you both dont need to be driving on slick snowy roads this winter trying to get to a doctors.

This is really interesting.

I've had fibromyalgia for five years and the weird, intermittent sacroiliac pain for about 6 months.

It is on the right side and sometimes extends around to the front hip bone.

But I found a really good chiropractor who has all but made the sacroiliac pain go away with chiropractic adjustments and a couple of specific stretching exercises that I do 3-5 times a day.

Get better soon your not suposed to be feeling bad during the holidays. Thats just taking up my old habits. Sorry minor joke there about my old habits of getting sick during holidays. My sick spells have not been to bad latly sence they found out about my asma I think thats how you spell that sorry No P.D.R Dictonary to look it up. Anyway Im hoping to get together with a bunch of my friends next weekend and go fishing and if luck holds I will get to see my neice Marry in Gatlinburg on the 25th of October. She picked red as her color to decorate with. Seems she likes red as well as her Aunt does. Get better soon.

Only One comment to this that I can think of that would be a great idea for that monster. It needs SHOT! And You Might want to have the shoulder x-rayed to make sure its not accidently maybe out of place. My mom once was throwing wood from the back of a druck once and puld her shoulder out of place like that from a fast monthion kind of like that once. it can happen and you not know it at first. Just A idea.

My mother and I both suffer the fibro rollercoaster. I find it necessary to take naps frequently. My mom is always telling me to "get up and move around" to stay awake. No offense to my mother, but I would rather nap. I know because of the chronic fatigue associated with fibro, my house suffers a little when it comes to cleaning. It is not a pig sty by any means but it is cluttered. The pain keeps me awake at night at times, so I do need that little "nap" during the day. Especially when the weather is wreaking havoc on my body.
I know there are people out there that do not believe fibro exists. If they were in our bodies they would definately have a different view on the disease. Maybe it won't kill us. But there are days I hurt so bad I wish I were dead.

You bet we're a pair, dear. And I still say it goes back to sometthing we agreed on from the start. Going through all of those pains, and the others, and the fatigue, together, knowing the other understands and things require no explanation, beats the heck out of both of us going through it alone.

Bless your heart, hubby dear. I do know about that burning sensation. And the tingling, numbness, shooting pains, stabbing pains and throbbing ones. Aren't we a pair?

Hey there. No recent entries. What's up with that??????
