12 hour work days just ain't happening anymore. I'm trying to get my type A personality under control. I'm the worker that always says yes, I'll do it. Then I end of working 6 12's a week.
I'm sure that is why I took it badly. I WANT to be working and accomplishing things. It's KILLING me not to be in control. I'm trying soooo hard to please the doctor and stop hurting.
Yoga does help. I'm way down on vicodin. Why is it that you try to do something for yourself (health) and no one else is supportive.
Oh well, I'll just have to grow a thicker skin.
You should have asked her when she got her medical degree! Some people just don't get it and never will. Sounds like prefers to be the center of attention and you're stealing her limelight. Poo on her I say! We loves ya and know you aren't a hypochondriac, I wish that's all it was with ALL of us. Deep breathe
we're here for you!
I get migraines about every other day - at least. Headaches daily. About every 3-4 months I end up in the hospital getting a shot of Toradal & Morphine, which knocks me out for 2 days straight (just happened on Monday). I have been to the neurologist at the Mayo Clinic and they just can't seem to figure anything out. I've been on every drug, herb, vitamin, you can think of at one point in time. My insurance even approved Botox, but that only made things worse.
Right now I have Relpax for my attacks, Vicodin for pain and Percocet for the BAD ones....for me it's just come to a point of making it through the day, hoping I don't get another one, & trying to make sure I don't have rebound headaches from all the meds I do take!!!
Hope things work out better for you......and let me know if you find something new that works for you! I'm always on the look out!
Hit my 1st goal of 150 and on to my 2nd of 135!!
So I find out today that some people at work think I'm a hypochondriac. Just because I was dx'd with fibro and Graves disease in the same year.
Just because I've had a few sick days out while I deal with what is happening to my body.
Just because the first meds I took were too strong and after giving it 6 weeks, had to change meds because it just made me too out of it.
So - all I have to do is have a great outlook on life and not eat and stop listening to the doctors.
So what if the doc tested me for a marker for heart attack and came up positive.
So what if the doc tested me for a marker for high cholesterol and tri's and came up positive.
So what if I have diabetes in the family
All I have to do is believe I'm well and ignore the doctors and not be a hypochondriac.
So I guess to be acceptable to these people, I have to tell my endocronologist to stop treating my Graves, it's all in my head.
I guess I''ll have to tell my PCP that I have no need of the Cymbalta and Trazadone. Or the vicodin and calcitriol. Because god knows everyone can will themselves better. Just have a great outlook.
Coming from Ms this divorce is making me crazy and every dog is as important as a human being.
Vent over - but I'm still angry. And you know what anger does. Makes it all hurt worse.
Lovely.
I would highly recommend that you consider hiring a disability law firm to assist you in filing for your disability. Best wishes to you!

I never thought of my arms bad becuase I had my knees done and my back is bad. Oh well.....
Welcome, sorry you are having such a rough time. Stress of any kind will worsen our fibro, sadly, and who doesn't have stress these days. Thanks for the meds info, I take cymbalta plus morphine and oxycodone for pain but some of mine is from severe arthritis but it helps the fibro too of course. Please post often we can always use more input!
I have not fully done what is needed to manage it. I've been too busy focusing on pain in my arms from the FMS. But, since it's allergy season, and I'm taking Sudafed, I haven't noticed my IC. So, may be a connection...
