Close Menopause
I am still waiting for menopause with great hope! Have been battling peri-menopause for 10 years, along with fibroids, which has made my fibromyalgia much worse. Had HRT years ago, which stopped working. Discovered Progesterone Cream, which has been great for 4 years. Went off for a few months and symptoms were worse, so back on. Still having periods, and my fibromyalgia has gone haywire. Also battling anemia. Am determined I will get through it all.
Treatments
- Black Cohosh Somewhat Helpful
- Went back to the Progesterone cream instead and the hot flashes have finally subsided, thank goodness!
- Evening Primrose Oil Not Working
- Gave me bad headaches.
- Progesterone Cream Working / Worked
- Great for 4 years, but things so bad now I need more help. It helps many of the symptoms, but the hormones are affecting my fibromyalgia and irritable bowel (gynae. doctor told me) so severely that I'm now going to try the hormone patch for awhile and see what that does.
Close Fibromyalgia
Treatments
- Acupressure Working / Worked
- Painful, but works. Trouble is, again, only temporary. Great for flare-up spots, though.
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- Works, but only temporarily, except for TMJ muscle - cured it!
- Aqua Therapy Working / Worked
- Works, but only temporarily.
- Effexor Working / Worked
- No anti-depressants work for me. I just get headaches and other unpleasant symptoms.
- Heat Working / Worked
- Very comforting, but can be hard to use with hot flashes!
- Ultram Working / Worked
- My favorite so far - just discovered it. Sustained release at night, regular during the day. Only need small doses so far (50mg. at a time.) I take with Acetaminophen daily.
- Valium Working / Worked
- I use it every day in small doses (5 mg) for muscle spasms. It doesn't work as a calming medication for me, so I don't really like to use it, but I need it for muscle relief.
- Vitamin B12 Working / Worked
- Doesn't make any difference.
