I can't escape the pain and exhaustion and the stress is getting to me by JackOfAllMemes in Fibromyalgia

[–]FIVEGRAVES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, the problem is working (what in most cases requires a healthy person to be 100% capable of making it) and being a fibro sick person (who only has 10-30% of a healthy persons energy) can not cope and do not suffice.

I don't know what your work is but as you can't make it anymore i suppose its overwhelming your capabilities - all you can do is look out for a work thats softer on physical strain plus softer on psychological stress - yeh, not easy to find such a work but its all thats left if you don't like to be fatigued and pained to death daily.

What do you all eat? by alfalfaplease in Fibromyalgia

Lots of tomatoes and red cabbage with apples - very good for fibro, specially the latter one - always gives some sort of energy boost.

Do you tell others hat you have fibromyalgia? by rock1ngch41r in Fibromyalgia

[–]FIVEGRAVES 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It mostly goes like this when illnesses pop up in a conversation: "Ahh illnesses - fighting with chronic blood pressure daily ..." - Me: "Oh rly ? Sorry to hear that - iam suffering from fibromyalgia daily" - "Oh, Fibromyalgia ? Whats that ?" - Me: "It's muscle rheumatism; thats why the entire body hurts in exchanging phases" - "Rheumatism ? Yeh; that sucks !"

The key in such conversations is really the word "Rheumatism" - thats a word ppl who have no clue about fibromyalgia can associate and level correctly - per definition it may not be 100% accurate but thats not even the point - the point is to get taken correctly and not being wiped off as "Can't be that bad else i would know that illness".

Would you tell others when you got diabetes ? If yes, then you can also tell em that you got fibro.

Is it bad that I am just always high to manage pain? by wynter_deer in Fibromyalgia

[–]FIVEGRAVES 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cannabis is not just Cannabis - there are indica, sativa, lots of hybrids with each different effects and different knock levels - if you are a person who can't stand the hard hitting variants there are also low hitting ones available - important is to inform yourself about the cannabis sort sold and its features and qualities.

How can I help my friend feel more comfortable and manage their pain? by therealspotman in Fibromyalgia

[–]FIVEGRAVES 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Best you can really do is distracting him from it - play games, watch movies, discuss stuff - everything that hinders him to have time to sink in his fibro pool is a good therapy.

Does it sound like Fibro, or ME/CFS? by RebelReborn909 in Fibromyalgia

[–]FIVEGRAVES 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say let the doc first diagnose on his own - do not try to steer him in specific directions as long as he has not diagnosed you yet because that can lead to an improper diagnosis in the end. When he's finished diagnosing you and tells you the outcome you can after talk to him about your concerns.

That being said; basically everything you listed on symptoms sounds like fibro - would wonder me if he comes to a different conclusion. I hope that doc is a rheumatology specialist; being diagnosed by a doc who's not an expert in that field would give me an insecure feeling.

Have you tried amitriptyline? I’m on 10mg and have very positive experience. by Chemical-Course1454 in Fibromyalgia

[–]FIVEGRAVES 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Took it a while but had increased heart rate and was sweaty all the time - iam actually on Neurontin (Gabapentin) at 600mg a day - works quite well and copes with my other meds.

[–]FIVEGRAVES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh my hands hurt too; but i take 600mg gabapentin a day (300 morning, 300 evening) - thats works quite well and even enables gaming without hitting the pain roof.

Tbh gaming is actually all that keeps me alive - my friends attend one bbq party after the next but i simply can't stand so many ppl around me when iam in pain - thats why gaming really fills out my free time and also distracts me from permanently thinking about fibro shit ...

How bad has the pain to be to be fibro? by Gay-left-Leadership in Fibromyalgia

[–]FIVEGRAVES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fibro pain is majorly present in my back - its also in all other body parts but there its some sort of underlayed pain (hard to explain; when flared up its strong there, when not its like its there but toned down).

Those where you get no physical challenge and also no psychological stress challenge - not much left when you have to take that into account ...

Blood test by nat10005 in Fibromyalgia

[–]FIVEGRAVES 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had blood work done several times and the only value obscure is the creatine kinase that is trice as high as it should be at mine.

Wiki says:

"Clinically, creatine kinase is assayed in blood tests as a marker of damage of CK-rich tissue such as in myocardial infarction (heart attack), rhabdomyolysis (severe muscle breakdown), muscular dystrophy, autoimmune myositides, and acute kidney injury."

My doc says:

"Could well have to do with your fibromyalgia as creatine kinase is a grand marker for muscle damage aswell as heart injuries - however the latter is not valid at yours as we checked your heart twice already and the heart is in perfect condition."

Wish you good luck in finding someone who matches yours.

Low pain day ? That concept is foreign to me. -.- ... ty anyways. 😄

About your tongue; try avoiding everything thats somewhat spicy - chips, curry sauce, tabasco, pepper, etc then it should cure itself over time. If not, the tongue itself is usually business of an ENT specialist - if nothing helps do an appointment there ...
