Close Pregnancy
I was pregnant with my daughter but delivered my little bundle on January 17th she was healthy and 9lbs5oz
Close Fibromyalgia
Treatments
- 5-HTP Somewhat Helpful
- I used it against one of my doctors advice,I only could take it at night, I was on other medicines so I don't know if the improvement was just from the 5htp or a combonation of all of it
- Aqua Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- only worked during the time I was in
- Cyclobenzaprine Not Working
- Tried several muscle relaxers, although some provided releif until the medicine wore off most caused too much drowsiness to justify taking, was prescribed zanax or cloanzepam that helped with muscle issues to take at night(RLS)
- Cymbalta Not Working
- It increased muscle tremors that I suffered from
- Effexor Somewhat Helpful
- Had to stop taking because of excessive sweating, not to mention the medicine was really expensive
- Elavil Working / Worked
- Took at night, really helped in combo with other medicines to get more productive sleep, however elavil was targeted for sudden weight gain while I was taking it
- Heat Working / Worked
- very brief relief occasionally
- Morphine Working / Worked
- Took a variety of pain medicine oxycodone unfortunately provided the longest lasting relief out of all treatments
- TENS Not Working
- Felt relief while it was on, but it proved to be too much for my muscles they were always more sore following treatments
- Ultram Not Working
- DId not even touch pain at all
- Vitamin B12 Not Working
- tried it noticed nothing
- Mirapex Working / Worked
- I really did not enjoy any of the side effects, which there are too many to list, and some very odd ones to, the medicine is not approved for FM but it is for RLS now but it's very expensive as well, the first few weeks I took it I did sleep well but it cause freaky dreams. For me, the medicine was not worth it's side effects and cost
- Requip Working / Worked
- ALthough this was another expensive one, there were no indesired side effects, it aided in productive sleep and it did what it claimed to do it stopped most of the symptoms or RLS which conincides with FM
