    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I think I must have had fibro for many years but it got really bad after a severe case of flu that turned into microplasma pneumonia. I went to a few different doctors but none of them knew what was wrong with me.After 11 years I have finally got a definite answer from a wonderfull doctor in Australia who has put me on Lycria. It works but with noticable side effects. My problem is I live in Germany but with only a limited ability to speak the language (thanks to fibro forgetfullness).

      Treatments

      Lyrica Working / Worked
      this drug is wonderful as far as the fibro is concerned, but the side effect of gaining weight is not good
      Vitamin B12 Not Working
      Luvox Somewhat Helpful
      At first it helped me to cope but after a while the effectivness wore off. Dose was 100mg per day.
    • Close Celiac Disease

      I was diagnosed with Celiac in 1994, and stayed on the diet for 12 months. Then I met my husband and we started sailing around the world for 8 years, this made it impossible to have a gluten free diet. Since then I have not gone back to the diet and now I'm having medical problems such as anaemia and bowel problems. Now I have to have a colonoscopy!

      Treatments

      Gluten Free Diet Working / Worked
      It worked well while I was on it.
