Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 It doesn't have to be environmental only...a lot of people cannot handle colognes, powders, bath gels/soaps with scents in them, household chemicals and medications. Most of us with FM have difficulty finding drugs to work for us...I am almost always on the non-formulary medications because the others just don't work ! Or I have weird reactions like Zoloft *making* me depressed or Imitrex the migraine medicine giving me body-wide numbness ! A lot of folks with FM can only take the smallest amount of a drug to make it work, even micro amounts...the pharmacist has to dilute it in water and then they take droppers instead of pills...or they need much higher doses of the medication. We also have the same trouble you guys do with getting believed about the levels and intesnity of our pain and the need for pain meds. It's a grande life, eh? But somebody's gotta lie it so it might as well be me ! Hugs, Jeannine odors...oh my...the laundry soap aisle at the grocery store ! Car and diesel fumes ! These things can trigger a migraine if I don't get away from them fast enough ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
