I have a dx of fibromyalgia. I started having problems shortly after having

a shot for tetnus, a shot for flu and 3 fillings removed within a short

period of time. I also had anxiety attacks - a therapist I went to said I

was adult ADD.

Most likely.

Presuming mercury checks out via hair or other relevant testing (but

not a challenge test which is worthless and also dangerous) then ALA

every 3-4 hours, possibly with accessory use of DMSA or DMPS.

non-mercury ones FIRST. S

Hi Deb - This year has been rough for me all the way around so far. I hope to be

starting Enbrel within the next week (as soon as it gets here) as the

Sulfasalazine and Methotrexate are just not enough for the RA anymore. Its tough

at times to distinguish whether the pain is RA related or FM. I check to see if

its a joint or an " area " of pain. Today (in FL) we are having a lot of rain

coming through because of a cool front. The barometric pressure is low and my

pain is through the roof. But, I know its RA because my joints are killing me -

fingers and toes all the way to the tips.

What do you take for your FM? I take Neurontin (Gabapentin) and it helps to

keep it under control. Check with your Rheumy about your FM. Enbrel is for the

treatment of RA. If you're not already taking something for your FM, perhaps

they can get you started. Hope you are feeling better soon.....Doreen

Deb,

I have noticed the difference. I live in Colorado and my syptoms are worse in

the winter, but also when the barametric pressure changes. The hard part is

where does the fibro begin and the RA ends and vise versa. It takes me hours

before my fingers and toes are ready to get moving for the day.
