Close Fibromyalgia
I have Fibro. I have had this since last year, and we are still looking for the right combo of med's. I talked with my primary care doc. and he will be referring me to a specialist. I have been referred. The pain is hard to deal with, the sensitivity to my skin is a killer too. The new doctor seems to be helping. I have neuropathy symptoms. I have burning, sharp pains, shooting pains, in my muscles. I have a cane to walk, and now a wheelchair.
Treatments
- Aqua Therapy Considering
- I can't afford to go. My insurance will pay part but I can't afford the rest. :( :( :( :(
- Celexa Not Working
- Stopped medication
- Cyclobenzaprine Not Working
- Stopped this med
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- This medication helped really good with my depression. The bad thing is the price, can't afford it. The withdrawls are bad if not taken off gradually. Right now I don't care about that I wish I could be on that again.
- Duragesic Patch Considering
- If the pain medication I am on now doesn't do what it is supposed too the the patch will be next. My headaches are everyday, the pain in my joints and muscles are everyday and the pain medication doesn't help it all. The pain will drive me crazy ... literally.
- Effexor Too Soon to Tell
- I am on the XR. I feel like this is my last hope. I have been on this for only 1 week and 2 days ... so I am hoping!
- Elavil Not Working
- Off this ... a nothing drug for me.
- Heat Somewhat Helpful
- I guess it depends. I said it didn't work but it does sometimes. Not often but when it does :)
- Neurontin Too Soon to Tell
- I just started this medication yesterday, so I will replace this when I know in about a month or so.
- Oxycodone Working / Worked
- Is working very well for my severe headaches. My dose was up'ed and I am doing good for my headaches. But now it is helping with the pain, but I can't go over what the doctor has prescribed me. So I am stuck with the pain I guess!
- TENS Considering
- Have heard about this maybe I will try this route. At least it is not a medication!
- Trazodone Working / Worked
- so far so good it is helping me sleep at night and making the fatigue not so bad during the day.
- Xanax Working / Worked
- Is working, without this I would be climbing the walls, LITERALLY!
Close Seasonal Affective Disorder
I have many problems and this is just one of them. My depression at this time, winter, is extremely bad. I have this feeling on a rainy, cloudy day. Not just seasonal, but seasonal is the worst. I need to hear from other people like me. I feel very alone which makes me feel worse. I am inprocess of getting my depression medication changed. My mental state is so hard to keep up. Everyone can check my profile. I didn't write the disorder in my profile. Fibro memory fog is very bad.
Open Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) DepressionDepression I have diagnosed with this for years now. Because of insurance I can't seem to find a medication that works that is cheap. Cymbalta worked but it is unafforable. The depression can get so bad I think suicide, I don't want to, I just think it. I have tried and the last time in 2001 I almost did it. Ended up in the trauma unit, but lived. So here i am.
Treatments
- Celexa Not Working
- changing that this week on Wednesday.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Working / Worked
- In group yes. Just me and a therapist no. I want to go back into this when the spring comes. Only because going out in the cold makes my Fibromyalgia worse.
- Cymbalta Working / Worked
- But too expensive had to stop taking it. Just not fair. Even with insurance I had to pay 80.00 per month! NOT RIGHT!
- Elavil Not Working
- stop taking it
- Meditation Working / Worked
- These days I try sometimes it works and sometimes I just can concentrate
- Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful
- If I was with others, not bad, but alone forget it. My depression hits like a brick wall, don't realize it until I am far into it.
- Prozac Working / Worked
- Worked great until my insurance stop covering it and I had to stop it
- Psychotherapy Working / Worked
- Have been in therapy for years, life saving!!!!!!!
- Seroquel Not Working
- Tried but didn't help at all
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- When I was younger, 2001 and back no support. 2002 to know I have my husband and his
- Trazodone Working / Worked
- yes to help me sleep at night
- Wellbutrin Not Working
- Stopped it, didn't work
- Writing Not Working
- When I write what I feel my mind runs with it ... makes it worse
- Klonopin Working / Worked
- It had worked before so I want to try it again. Will bring it up to my nurse practitioner.
