Guest guest Posted March 27, 2000 Report Share Posted March 27, 2000 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. http://www.immed.org a Carnes > From: Rahdy@... > > Hi All - I'm new to the list and have been off for a few weeks being in and > out of the hospital with my vasculitis.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2000 Report Share Posted March 27, 2000 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. >From: Rahdy@... > >Hi All - I'm new to the list and have been off for a few weeks being in and >out of the hospital with my vasculitis.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 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 >> information >> 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.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2001 Report Share Posted July 4, 2001 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. > [Original Message] > From: <steve@...> > < > > Date: 7/4/01 5:48:41 AM > Subject: [ ] Fibromyalgia > > I have Just read a very, very interesting book.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 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.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2001 Report Share Posted October 17, 2001 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!!!

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 , 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.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2002 Report Share Posted February 5, 2002 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.

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.

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.
