A list of symptoms that go with Fibromyalgia

yeah i know i have to have hypoglycemia but i have never been diagnosed.. every time i bring it up my docs have blown me off!!

Hmmm, after reading it again, it doesn't mention temporomandibular joint disease. I have that and was told it is normally associated with fibromyalgia.

yeah i have heard it goes with fibro too.. on other sites i have seen it listed.. there are a million lists out there so it seems like theres new stuff on each one and yet some left off.. there is prob a better list out there some where but i know some one had said this one had some stuff listed they had never seen before so i decided to post it for whatever could be new for each person.. heck i should research and make my own list and combine them all but i think i would be better off as just putting


EVERYTHING!

and leaving it as that!! lol

Hey Mental how ya doing? If you go to Sallys they have these very thin white gloves you can wear at night while you have alot of oils or lotions on and it helps absorb the oil/lotion. Good luck with social security dealing with them can make you want to pull your hair out.

Hi, muscles! I have those white gloves and do use them most nights. I guess it's preventing my nails from splitting all the way down to the quick, but they still stay pretty brittle.

I'm doing fairly... freezing right now, though! My poor nails, skin, hair, everything is drying out because our furnace has been on almost non-stop since yesterday. (Hubby killed our humidifier by not filling it when it was empty.) It's only 3 degrees outside right now!!! Brrrrrrrrrrrrr! I hate the cold! AND I have to go out in this today to see my rheumatologist, 56 miles away!

I also just now got off the phone with WalMart pharmacy. They've screwed up a prescription of mine something fierce! They are so totally incompetent!!! Now, they're telling me that they have no record of my insurance. I've only been a customer of theirs, with the same insurance company, for 4 years! Grrrrrrrrrrr!!

So, I'm doing a little less than fairly right now. Man! Can WalMart do ANYTHING right? At least it's heating me up and I don't feel as cold.

OMG!!! Okay... I had to let my husband handle that phone call. Because we're getting our insurance through COBRA now since hubby got laid off, and the insurance was screwed up 6 days ago when I needed this medication, we only picked up 10 pills out of the 60 and paid cash for it, $28.68. Last night, after arguing with WalMart about my insurance, they said they called my ins. company and got it straightened out and the balance of my prescription (which was supposed to be 50 pills) was waiting for me. I went out in 17 degree weather to pick it up. Once I got home, I saw that they charged me $30.72 for 10 more pills! I just called to get it straightened out, and they once again said they had no record of my insurance. (Why did they charge me $28.68 for 10 pills, then $30.72 for 10 more pills???)

So, I'm about ready to scream at them, so I handed the phone to my husband and asked him to take care of it because I'd do something I'd regret. Now, since they called the insurance company AGAIN, they say I'll get the balance today, 40 pills now, for another $20.00. So, one month's prescription, which should have cost me $50.00, is now costing me almost $80.00!!! Another trip to WalMart AND it's only 3 degrees outside!!! I'm furious!!!

Well, I WAS fair when I first started responding to you, but now I'm feeling like biting the head off of the pharmacist AND the first human being I ever meet from our insurance company, United HealthCare!

NOW, we've got to be reimbursed by the insurance company and we all know how EASY they are to deal with, right?

im the same way.. i used to be a workaholic and really active and constantly on the go and now i cant work and im lucky if i get dishes and laundry etc done.. i just take it day by day and if i need rest i rest and hope for a better day the next day.. it can be crippling depression and pain wise though but im lucky and my hubby understands and never makes me feel bad about it etc

My husband is the same way and I thank God everyday that I have such an understanding spouse.
Sometimes I have not been able to get out of bed to even make him any supper and he has chipped right in there and made something for the both of us.
I just wish they could find a medicine that I can take to help with it, so far all the medicines they have given me I have had a reaction to except pain medication and depression pills.
I feel like I am doped up all the time and my life is passing me by.
You and everyone that has Fibro are in my prayers.

well its not so much that it is just NOW popular its that the doctors are now admitting it exists.. i have had it all my life which is 27 years and i know people that have had it more than 30 years but we all had doctors that if it didnt show up on a test then it didnt exist!! now with all the studies they have done and now that they announced lyrica as the fibro drug then it got a lot of press because before we didnt even have a standard drug to be on.. its heriditary so that makes it more common unfortunately.. but until people had a name for it they either figured they were nuts since they felt pain no one could find or they became drug addicts because they were numbing out the pain but didnt know why or suffered in silence..

You are so lucky if you can take lyrica. It was actually the only drug that helped me along with my pain medicine.
I am unable to take it though because it messes with my eyesight and I only have vision in my left eye.
