Melody Mauldin Hello all my wonderful fibro friends! I got to go to my lung doctor appointment this morning. He said the pulmonary hypertension is mild (thank you Jesus!). He is going to do a breathing test and another sleep study to make sure my sleep apnea is being well controlled with my CPAP. If not, this could be a cause of the PH. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers. ~~hugs

Cat Allen Usdf Well, My doctor took me off of Zanaflex thinking that was causing the headache I have had for a week now, but being off it isn't helping sooooo now what to do about it.. I am sick of this headache.. I think if it isn't better later I may go in to get checked out.. I know headaches come and go but I don't think that one should last for a week..

Could it be related to muscle tension in neck and shoulders?

Carmelita morning all. today still very sore, saw the doctor last night, had a shot of tramadol, nothing seems to help, can anyone give me some ideas on what else works for the pain, tired of hearing the same old remarks, "you don't look bad"...oh whatever...

Jessica Wilson Clarke Morning all (late but I am here) I am not too bad after raking yesterday. Feeling it in my back though. Found that out when I picked my son up! Will make it for another day though....once I actually wake up.

I hear you Marie! If my husband had this for 1 week (a day would do it too, but I'm going to give him the benifit of the doubt) he would be in the hospital on every pain med. there is. After this long of our suffering I don't understand how they can't see it. Of course he doesn't know when the dog is sick either. It must be how well we handle the discomfort...We are the heroes!!!!

Good morning fibro friends. Feeling a good amount of pain in my hips to day & of course was up 4x's last night. I have a long day ahead as I drive the 120 mile round trip to see my Rheumatologist. As I will be driving through Beverly Hills & passing Rodeo Drive, does anyone want me to get them something, if you have... several thousand dollars laying around. LOL Want to ask doc about sleeping problems & questions about meds I'm taking. Hope you all have the best day you can have. Make sure to give someone a special smile.Read More

So much for three nights in a row sleeping the night through. I was waking up constantly last night. Sometimes from pain, other times just waking up. My life has changed so drastically in the last couple of months, I feel as if I've aged 20 years since summer. My husband and I were going to start trying for another bab...y when he comes home this spring, but I just don't think that's a possibility anymore. I just need some relief.Read More

it is hard to accept though and each day is a struggle, we must grieve over what we can't do anymore and try and be grateful for what we can. I am 32 and walk around some days like I am 80 and up... no fun and no life!! well at least i havent found it yet, but I am new this year to all this and still grieving. good luck

Being without the pain meds is more critical than we know until we are faced with a day and don't have them. You'll get through hopefully without incident. I've done that twice this year, and made it through three days one time. Sure was glad and different once I was again medicatedl.

I finally found it...an absolute discription of my pain on my "bad"
days: Talking about on a pain scale he says "where 1 is a minor ee-yow
and 10 is a testicle that suddenly descends, I scored a 22, meaning I
saw a constellation of previously undiscovered stars while
simultaneously blowing all the wax out of my ears" (as s...aid by John
Phillips, Car and Driver Magazine) (and although I don't have a testicle persay...I still thought it was a fabulous quote)
