Re: treating pain caused by autoimmune disorders
      09/20/03 08:17 AM

I have fibro, diagnosed by a rheumy doctor. My regular doctor said I looked too healthy to have fibro. I treat my own pain for that - the rheumy doctor wanted me to take Celebrex, Vioxx, Skelaxin, etc. but those don't work for me. I take hydro 10/500 for that. I also have IBS, not diagnosed through a colonoscopy but because of the "symptoms" I have. Just started some Zelnorm samples which seems to be working, plus adding fiber to my diet. Also, my regular doctor diagnosed me with Hoshimoto Thyroid, which I take daily supplements for.

As for your other questions - my husband is sympathetic to my problems, but he doesn't believe in self treatment through OP's, so I pretty much hide what I order and take from him. I try light exercise for the fibro, but don't really notice it does much good and it's hard to exercise when you're in pain all the time. I also take Prozac ER for my monthly visit (PMDD) which has worked well for me. Also, I take Xanax for anxiety issues and to help me sleep. So, I totally treat myself for the pain which so far is working just fine. Thank God for OP's!
