Fibromyalgia

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

It must be the strain that I have, but my abx, Zithromax 600 mg tablet takes

care of my fibro. Weird huh,

Barb,

I think there is hope. A lot of fms patients also test positive for

mycoplasma infections. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and I

think i had a mild case of fms for years prior to that. I then tested

positive for mycoplasma and have mostly recovered with 4 yrs of appropriate

antibiotics. Read and print out everything you can from this researcher's

website. Then see if you can find her a doctor from the list here who is

familiar with mycoplasma to get her tested and start treatment.

Dear Barb,

Secondary fibromyalgia often improves with time on the antibiotics. We also

have a web page which you might like to read describing one patient's successful

approach to fibromyalgia - rheumatic.org/fibro.htm.

Seeing Dr. Mercola would be a very good move. From the sound of it, your

sister-in-law

isn't getting her needs met with this doctor she has. The infections need

clearing

up and, more importantly, the reason she is getting these infections needs to

be found. So many factors produce ill-effects in the body. The band-aid approach

she is currently getting won't help her.

She needs her gut flora levels checked, her hormone levels and candida levels

checked as well as allergies, just for a start.

Let us know how we can help with information,

Chris.

Hi, Bonnie.

Yes, fibromyalgia is treated with AP. I will paste an an article recently

posted by a member of the group. This is one possible explanation. Others

feel micoplasma infections are an important consideration. Both causes would

respond to antibiotics.

Hi Dwanna,

>> I have also had Fibromyalgia for the last 8 years, and I'm wondering

>> if

>> anyone on this list has it too. I seem to be finding a lot of

>> about PA that is similar to FM.

>

I was diagnosed with fibromyalga this summer soon after the RD put me on

meds for PA. Now I have a drawer full of drugs: sufsalazine, EPO and

Volteran for PA, Evista for bone thinning, Soma for muscle realxing,

Prilosec for my tummy, Ambien for sleep, Celexa for depression and

vitamins and calcium. I've read a lot of material but they have

differing opinions while we wait for the next announcement of a

breakthrough cure.

The fibro causes me much more difficulty than anything else, especially

the part that wraps around my neck, shoulders and upper chest --- that

sternocliedomastoid apparatus that holds the neck upright and attached

to the body. When fibro wraps itself around your neck, you learn so much

about how many small muscles are required to hold up one's head. It

wraps itselft up around the back side of both ear lobes and up where it

attaches to the base of my skull. Makes my ears ring all day and gets

louder toward evening making listening to TV an uncomfortable chore (my

ears are super sensitive to sounds right now and sometimes hurt like an

olde earache).

How do you handle the trembling? It's become rather distracting for me.

> The best treatments/therapies I've found for the FM are acupuncture,

> Yoga,

> myofascial release massage, and Ultram.

Aren't those all temporary treatments? I was given 2 pages of exercise

to do for my neck and back that help loosen the tight muscles and

relieve the awful headache so I can get back to work.

Take care and share your experiences,

Patty B in the Pineywoods of East Texas

I have both books and they are a great resource to own. They run about $20.00 each. Well worth it, especially since I am still in the learning process.

Again, be very careful when using herbs. I would not recommend using any

form of estrogen unless under a doctor's care. Estrogen used alone

increases ovarian cancer, breast cancer, false results on mammograms, and

many other problems. That is why estrogen is now combined with progesterone

for menopause therapy. There are still some risks. I would advise you to

search for these associated risks and read them for yourself. Unless a book

is written by a well known, and accredited doctor, I would take everything

with a grain of salt.

Dear Connie,

I believe Fibro can be a symptom of many different diseases. I was diagnosed

with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia for the last 22 years. It

turns out I have Lyme Disease. I think that most of these things have

bacteria involved.

Some people get onto the Anti-biotic protocol and recover completely. Others

require surgery to correct Chiari Malformation in the spine. This can be

diagnosed with an M.R.I. scan. Some people have a genetic illness called

Familial Mediteranean Fever which can cause Fibro symptoms. This is

treatable with a drug called Colchicine. I know of others whose Fibro got

better when they corrected thyroid problems. You really need a good doctor

and you need to work out what the root cause is to get the right treatment.

When did your illness begin? Can you remember what started it? Have you been

bitten by a tick? Have you been tested for Mycoplasma Fermentans? Did you

get Glandular Fever?I can forward you more information on any of these

subjects if you like.

Stay with this group. I am sure you will get some answers.

Wishing you health.

Rosemary Trudeau.

I have chronic pain (not so bad since the weight loss) and my PCP told me

she did not want to diagnose me with Fibromyalgia (I have no reason why,

she got a call and was not able to get back to me to answer it and now

she has left family practice)...I wonder if it has to do with insurance

and if I could be excluded if I had to get new coverage... I am not

sure.. I did find out that I have arthritis in my neck, hip, and fingers

(my chiropracter (sp?) X-Rayed me and found it). It is not constant, but

when it flares up or if I sleep on the wrong side too long, it hurts like

heck!!! My hubby acts like it is no big deal, but he gets serious when

his back goes out on him!!!

It has been MANY years since I was diagnosed. I went to many, many different

doctors to try to rule out the source of the pain and many different tests.

I'm not sure how the diagnose it now. Definitely talk to your PCP about it

fibro?

[Guest guest]

,

I was told, years ago, as was my mother, that we had fibromyalgia, and we

probably do, as it's simply a catch all for muscle pain and fascial pain,

(underlying tissue of muscles, etc). HOwever, I was also diagnoes first with

MS and now with PA. The MS was finally diagnoes in 94 and the PA in 95. I

sometimes wonder if I really have MS at all and if it's all PA. The pain of

fibromyalgia isn't any different from PA, best I can tell.

This will explain a bit about fibro.

You hurt all over and you frequently feel exhausted. Even after numerous tests, your doctor can't seem to find anything specifically wrong with you. If this sounds familiar, you may have fibromyalgia, a condition that affects an estimated 6 million to 8 million people. Approximately 80 percent of affected people are women.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by fatigue and widespread pain in the fibrous tissues in your muscles, ligaments and tendons. Previously, the condition was known by other names such as fibrositis, chronic muscle pain syndrome, psychogenic rheumatism and tension myalgias.

I also have what we call Fibro fog. You feel like you are in la la land. You get real forgetful. Some days I have fibro Fog and some I dont. But this hep C scares me more than having Fibro.

[Guest guest]

Hi eyes, wow this fibromyalgia sounds like what you feel when you take the Interferon treatments. You get brain fog with the treatment too. I wish you luck keep the faith.

i read somewhere that hep c and fibro have similar maladies and may be

i think rebertron did a number on me...fibro-like....i often wonder if its

the hep c, fibro, depression or long term effects of rebertron that make me

Here is a link that has a lot of the information you are looking for:

http://www.fmnetnews.com/

You might especially want to view the " criteria " information. There

are several syndromes that mimic some of the problems associated

with fibromyalgia. The criteria helps to establish a more accurate

diagnosis of the actual syndrome.

Hope this helps,

the neuro Dr. said that he defiantly believes in

>Fibromyalgia,

myalgia,

Just a note to let you know what happened to me yesterday in reference to fibomyalgia. I had an appointment with a podiatrist for treatment of foot pain and ingrown toenails. The nurse did up a chart based on my paperwork and took some x-rays. When the doctor came in, the first thing he addressed was fibro. It seems that he is an expert in the field of treatment of fibro. He showed me several published articles about his work. It has to do with balance in the feet and the electrical system in the body being out of line. he says that he can reduce my pain levels as much as 75%. I am excited!

I was given a foot massage and an adjustment of the feet. Then, two nerve blocks were done on each foot. My arches were taped and I return on Tuesday. I will get treatments twice a week for the next four weeks. I will let you all know what happens. He says we will address the complaints I had when I come in next week.

[ ] re: fibromyalgia

the neuro Dr. said that he defiantly believes in >Fibromyalgia, myalgia, Just a note to let you know what happened to me yesterday in reference to fibomyalgia. I had an appointment with a podiatrist for treatment of foot pain and ingrown toenails. The nurse did up a chart based on my paperwork and took some x-rays. When the doctor came in, the first thing he addressed was fibro. It seems that he is an expert in the field of treatment of fibro. He showed me several published articles about his work. It has to do with balance in the feet and the electrical system in the body being out of line. he says that he can reduce my pain levels as much as 75%. I am excited! I was given a foot massage and an adjustment of the feet. Then, two nerve blocks were done on each foot. My arches were taped and I return on Tuesday. I will get treatments twice a week for the next four weeks. I will let you all know what happens. He says we will address the complaints I had when I come in next week. Ginger
