Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 For the last few days my whole right side has been hurting. Now my right arm is feeling weak. Is this a " normal " fibromyalgia problem? I am on Gabapentin and Cymbalta. I am a cake decorator and am right handed so this is causing problems with the decorating. I hope the customers do not mind some ugly cakes!--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Terri: I do not have RA, but am undertaking the AP for Fibro under the care of Dr. Franco in California. I also see another AP doctor closer to home in Sacramento who specializes in Fibro and treats with AP. He also uses LDN which has been discussed on this forum lately. My opinion is, Yes, AP is used to treat fibro. I have high titers of IGg and IGm for Mycoplasma Pnemonia. Cheryl Ferguson From: Brett & Terri <tdowney2@...> Subject: rheumatic fibro question rheumatic Date: Saturday, September 13, 2008, 6:12 PM Does anyone else taking AP for RA also have fibromyalgia? Do you have any idea if I can expect AP to help with fibro? I hope it does because I have just weaned off the anti-depressant, Effexor, which had been prescribed to help me sleep with fibro and fix my serotonin levels. Anyway, the withdrawal symptoms (even after a month long weaning process) have been hellish, so I hope very much it will be worth it! I have been free of my fibro symptoms for many months, and I hope this is a good time find out if it truly is gone for good. My AP doc insisted I could drop my pain med and the Effexor as soon as I felt up to it, but his specialty is pulmonology, and he just came across AP as a result of seeing how treating patients with walking pneumonia ended up helping/curing their arthritis. So, I am glad he is there to help me in this process, but it isn't really his field. See, no one has said to me that fibro is also a mycoplasm problem, but it seems likely to me since they call it an autoimmune disorder and don't seem to have any idea what causes the pain. TIA for any info you may be able to provide! Blessings! Terri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
