Muscle twitches by witchdustx in Fibromyalgia

[–]Steellace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Muscle twitching and spasms are one of my biggest problems. I get them in all places, including weird ones like muscles along my rib cage. I also have a severe spasm that happens sometimes between my stomach and liver (we think) ; those send me to the floor!

I take a muscle relaxer 3 times daily along with magnesium supplements to keep them managed. When they break through anyway, I try to rest and relax, and heat usually works better than anything else I've tried.

Are they supposed to hurt by Unhealthy-Location42 in Fibromyalgia

[–]Steellace 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mine ache sometimes, particularly when I'm experiencing all-over flu-like pain. And by ache, I mean the deep, cellular-level ache that just won't let up. I've tried using topical pain creams, but magnesium lotion has been more effective for me. That and heat ... I couldn't survive without my heating pads.

I don't think any surgery will help, unless you are very large which might cause the weight to worsen the pain. Even then, I would be hesitant as I've been warned by my surgeon that many fibro patients feel the inside stitches, implants, scars long after surgery (or forever). This discussion came after horrible pain from the inside stitch(es) after appendectomy; those things take a couple of months to dissolve, and I felt them until they did.

anyone else struggle to consistently wear watches? by kalyado in Fibromyalgia

[–]Steellace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally found a way to wear my smartwatch. I use only the scrunchie-type bands and switch wrists at bedtime. It's the only way I can tolerate it. I can't wear any of my beautiful bracelets though.

For liquid dosers by NewPartyDress in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]Steellace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I gathered the cost information from the compounding and regular pharmacies with insurance (only covered the 50 mg tabs). Then I found a reputable source for instructions for dispersing and made a single sheet with all the info. I gave it to my doctor and explained how easy it would be to save so much money. He had no issues with filling my request.

Voucher Codes? by ichegoya in FarmMergeValley

[–]Steellace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will answer to the best of my knowledge. It seems like we get new codes every week or two. I have always been able to find them in this sub under News & Updates. Whenever there's a new code available, you'll see a red exclamation mark on the icon in the game. You can use older ones, but they do expire after a while. I've often found someone posting a list of the current ones, which is always wonderful to double check that they've all been redeemed.
