Finally a diagnosis

(1/2) > >>

Brendalu:
Finally after all of these tests and trials and MRI's and all the rest I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia.  I will still see the neurologist on the first and hopefully he will be able to treat the head and neck pain. The anti depressants I already take helps with some of the affects of this condition.  Head trauma seems to be the common denominator for people with this.  I have had a couple of head on collisions, a rear ender and then of course the AN.  It helps to know what the problem is and cope with it than not knowing.  For those of you with an MS diagnosis, have your doctor check you out for Fibromyalgia.  The check list and tests are easy ones.  Someone suggested this to me months ago and my doctors all poohpoohed the idea instead of testing me.  Now I know why I haven't rebounded like some of you have!  I thought I was strange or slow or something worse.  Now I know that like each and everyone of us....I am unique!!

Brendalu,

   I have a freind who has this real bad. She claims that the combination of calcium and magnesium daily, at bedtime help a great deal. Liquid form is best.
Good luck. I hope you find some relief.

Brendalu:
The symptoms are stiffness when waking, not getting "good" sleep even when you are able to fall asleep quickly, TMJ, headaches, dizziness, balance problems (like I didn't already have that one!),neck pain, fatigue (also associated with chronic fatigue syndrome), low energy, depression, aches and pains.  The tests are simple.  They are pressure point tests.  The website thst Joef did is a good one.  There is a lot of information on it on the web.  The calcium and magnesium in liquid form is something I picked up today.
Hugs,
BrendaO
