Close Chronic Pain
Diagnosed with M.E/CFS in september '07. Constant headache since Feb '07. Pain in pretty much everywhere possible!
Treatments
- Chiropractic Adjustment Too Soon to Tell
- For the constant headache. Couldn't move for 2 days after, despite large amounts of ice, hot baths and painkillers. Gave me worse Migraine than i've ever had before, one at the front, and one at the back, at the same time. Now get severe back pain.
- Codeine Not Working
- Used to take it with Ibuprofen and paracetomol to help me sleep, now it doesn't work.
- Heat Working / Worked
- works a little for as long as the heat's there!
- Meditation Somewhat Helpful
- Helps to relax a bit, relieve some of the tension around my neck!
- Topamax Not Working
- i lost a stone in weight, felt sick constantly and still the pain remained! it also made me more depressed, spaced out, tingling and pins and needles, i turned into a zombie. NIGHTMARE!
- Voltaren Somewhat Helpful
- Melatonin Not Working
- 10mg for sleep didnt help
Open Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Diagnosed September '07. Always caught everything going around, and had single weeks of 'M.E like symptoms' Extreme fatigue, headache, back, neck, shoulder pain. Joint and muscular aches. Nausea, loss of appetite. Brain fog, tingling, crawling sensation. Weak legs, arms and hands..... Haha, the list goes on, i get pretty much ALL the symptoms!
Open Eczema
i have papular dermititus. it flares up when i'm stressed, or just for NO apparent reason! get it on my hands, feet,n nose... affected by my M.E, cos my body doesn't cope well with anything that needs healing! also afected by my low immune system.
Treatments
- Betamethasone (Topical) Somewhat Helpful
- reduces the redness and infection part.
Open Fibromyalgia
after recently being diagnosed with M.E its also being suggested i may have fibro, pretty much constant all over body pain, aching neck shoulders back, hips. everywhere really!
