I am sorry to be the one to tell you this but yes it is part of fibro.   I have forgotten how to spell words I use everyday, some as small as the letter words.  I have forgotten how to sign my name in the middle of doing so.  I have gotten lost going to my daughter's house.  I blame it on fibro fog.  The fog is the main reason I don't drive much anymore even though I have always loved driving.  I hope knowing why it happens helps.<o:p></o:p>

Mega hugs to you<o:p></o:p>

Yup - fibro.  I am waiting for a start date for physiotherapy, and a group that learns about how to live with fibro.  I also found a therapy group for fibo.  I went to the dr, and am going to have a bone scan, and some more xrays.  I even made an appt with the dentist.  I've been looking after myself, for once. 

 

I've been teaching the kids to cook, and clean (properly).  It's been working with meal preparation, but I have decided that with 6 kids, I should not have to do much around the house, when I'm in pain.  The pain has been quite intense for the last few weeks, and I'm going to make a better life for myself. 

 

 

I can't seem to tolerate pain meds.  I want my viox back, because it truly gave me my life back.  All anti inflamatories hurt my tummy big time.  I need to keep my mind alert, as if that will ever happen again, because all my children are classed "special needs", and there are lots of problems to avoid.  I take tylenol #1 - #3, sometimes I go on the anti inflam. with stomach meds.  I've been using melatonin, and after 3 weeks, is seems to be working finally, for sleep.

Well there is talk that vioxx might come back.  As for the other meds I don't know them.  Right now I am taking talwin nx for pain.  I totally understand all the trouble. I used to work with special need kids I REALLY miss it.  What are their disabilities and ages?

Mega hugs always :)

I HOPE I SPELL THIS CORRECTLY...HAVE YOU BEEN CHECKED FOR ...CARPIAL TUNNEL. OR DO U EVER GET TINGLING IN YOUR ARMS OR HANDS? IF U HAVN'T TRY TO. I DID THE NUMBNESS IN THE HANDS/ARMS, FROM THE NERVES. AND YES I ACTUALLY DO HAVE A BIT OF CARPIAL. BUT WHO REALLY KNOWS. WHAT ONE OF US HAVE MANY MAY NOT. I GUESS IT'S LIKE THE MEDS///WORKS FOR SOME NOT OTHERS,IT'S JUST SO STRANGE. GOODLUCK AND TAKE CARE, CAT

HAVE YOU GONE TO A NEUROLOGIST?? THEY DID THE TEST WHERE THEY INSERT VERY THIN NEEDLES INTO CERTAIN NERVE GROUPS FROM HEAD TO TOE. THATS WHERE I FOUND OUT I HAD CARP.

I HAVE SEARCHED ON WEBMD.COM DUG WAY DEEP. I LEARNED THAT , THAT DISK IS LIKE 2 METAL WASHERS. WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS ONE OR BOTH HAVE SLIDE A BIT AND ARE UNALINED...PINCHING THE NERVES.IF ANYONE HAS ANY OTHER HELPFULL HINTS PLZ. DO TELL. I WANT TO KNOW MORE AS WELL.PAIN PAIN PAIN!!!! UGH TAKE CARE,CAT

 

 

Could it possibly be contributed to some of the meds you are on? I had terrible "fibro fog"  on tegretol, but when I went off it the fibro fog decreased dramatically.
