Close Fibromyalgia
I was diagnosed with Fibro about 7 years ago. I had fairly minor pain until I fell in October of 2006. Since then, the pain has increased exponentially. The past 2 months have been agonizing. God WILL get me through this!
Treatments
- Acupuncture Working / Worked
- Cymbalta Not Working
- Tried this for about 2 months... made me want to find a tree to drive my car into! NOT COOL!
- Heat Working / Worked
- Hydrocodone Somewhat Helpful
- Lyrica Working / Worked
- Helps with sleeping. I can definitely tell if I don't take it!
- Massage Working / Worked
- Tramadol Working / Worked
- I had really bad hot flashes while getting used to this, but those have worn off and I feel so much better now. The pain has localized to just a few areas rather than being all over the body.
Close Scoliosis
I had surgery for Double Scoliosis when I was 12... ahem... 21 years ago. I have the CD rods, was never braced. They said I'd be a barometer for a couple years... still counting!
Treatments
- Harrington Rods Working / Worked
- My curves increased from 45 to 54 degrees in the 6 weeks from schedule date to surgery date. That was 21 years ago. No real troubles with it.
- Chiropractic Adjustment Working / Worked
- Works best if going on a regular routine.
- Hydrocodone Working / Worked
- I also have fibromyalgia so it's sometimes difficult to tell what is back pain from scoliosis and what's from fibro!
- Orthopedic Brace Working / Worked
- I still have some muscle spasms and this helps.
- Massage Working / Worked
- Heat Working / Worked
- Hot pads, hot water, etc.

Open Migraine Headaches
I've had what we used to call "tired headaches" since I was a kid. I'd go to bed for a couple days and sleep it off and be on my way. Since then, they've diagnosed these as migraines and I've been on a host of meds to avoid them and ward them off when I get them. Still found the best thing for it is sleep.
Treatments
- Avoid Certain Foods / Chemicals Working / Worked
- Axert Not Working
- Caffeine Somewhat Helpful
- Excedrin Somewhat Helpful
- Imitrex Not Working
- Maxalt Not Working
- Relpax Somewhat Helpful
- Worked for a while

Open Stress Management
I have been a perfectionist since I was a kid. I'm very competitive and want everything I do, especially at work, to be perfect. My body and house, well, that's another matter. I have severe medical issues & do the best I can there. But my mind & work related stuff... I give it my all.
