Thanks Sherrine. I admire your fortitude!...
Thanks Sherrine. I sure wish I could NOT think about how I feel. It seems to hit me square in the face all the time. I DO work around my problems/pain. I keep busy and do stuff I probably should quit...
I had my 2 children when I was 37 and 39. Sometimes it's hard to know if some of my symptoms (especially osteoarthritis) are from getting older (I'm almost 70), or if it's all related to fibro. My...
I love my heating pad. It doesn't really help anything, but it's so comfy. I shy away from vibrating things, since so much of me vibrates all the time....
Thanks Luvzminis. Yes, I've taken many of the NSAIDS earlier in my life (40's and 50's), and now I can't take any of them. They immediately burn my stomach. I haven't read exactly why Cipro can cause...
Just curious if they have checked out your parathyroid function?...
It's curious how antibiotics affect people differently. I think using various ones for several months after I got influenza, then pneumonia, then ear infections, ruined my GI tract, and maybe lots of...
My IBS-D has flared up recently and I occasionally take the Pepto tablets (a generic form). I took a couple the other day. I woke up this morning with a fairly black tongue! I sorta freaked out at...
Hmmm.........I'll look into that, Ljm. I know that they have ATP supplements, but I guess I've been nervous to try them....
Has anyone here ever had a muscle biopsy? I've always felt that I had something like a deficiency in my ATP in my muscles. Would a rheumatologist be the doc who might investigate something like that?...
Thanks Luvzminis and Lj! The podiatrist ordered an NSAID/Gabapentin cream for my feet.....but I might try it in other places too. Lj.......I remember taking my kids on vacation when they were young,...
Thanks Girlie. That's good info to know. I, too, started on 100mg of it, but felt I was having side effects, which I couldn't deal with at the time......so I may not have hung in there long enough....
Hi James. I have always had hypersensitive hearing, but not to the extreme that you seem to have it. I have always been bothered by noise and that was a big problem in college, etc. Now I live out in...
Recently I went to a new podiatrist. She had custom orthotics made for me and now, since I seem to be having more and more toe pain which seems to be peripheral neuropathy related, she has ordered a...
Thanks Sherrine. I guess I just have to take a chance....and maybe go back 2 steps first, in order to go forward. I just wish my neuro system wasn't so darned over-reacting to everything. It makes me...
