Oh, good luck with that tooth. I am very lucky at 51 my teeth are the only things I think still good! I have yet to even have a cavity. We joke and say Navy experiment my brother got the placebo and I got the real treatment when we were young. He has false teeth now.
Happy Anniversary ! In today's standards that is a long time. Congratulations!
Cold is getting into my bones but nothing not used to by now. I am fine with my regular pain, it's just the flares that really get to me. It seems when I flare it brings it all on from other probs too! My fingers and toes were really swollen and red last night, but have gone considerably today. Thank goodness!
Warm and gentle hugs to all !!

However remember we are all different and what may work for one may not for another. I have the same problems as you mentioned above! Right now my cat is sleeping on my heating pad I keep on the recliner! LOL Guess she likes the warmth too. She is my oldest cat so her bones need it too I guess.View Thread


Hope others find some relief as well. I did also notice I ran out of my vitamin D and supplements. I am now back on them so this could have made a difference too in helping take some of the pain away. I have felt bad since the week before Christmas. So this is very welcome relief.
Doc wants to drain my knee and do shots in it again. I feel last Sunday in the house and it is all blown up. I'm staying off it hoping it will go down some on it's own.

Last night though was different I kept waking to my foot, the bottom it mostly cramping and my toes trying to curl up. I usually get this if my body thinks I have been driving too long. Which varies by the given day! lol But I don't usually get it a night. I drank water all day too as doc said keep hydrated for the muscle cramping.View Thread


I am going back up to NJ to see my Rhuemy doc on the 15th. It is a 4hr drive but worth it to me. He usually gives me samples and discount on fee as knows I am still unemployed. Been almost yr since I have seen him!
But between the R/A and FMS and the cold weather it has taken a toll on me. I have been recliner bound since the Sunday before Christmas. Guess it was all too much for me and no meds! Tylenol only med have been taken. I have decided this this last flare so bad I am going to apply for disability. Its not getting better and I just can't do what I used to do anymore. Very hard for me to face this. My poor son I almost fell asleep driving one day with him. The fatigue came out of no where. I pulled over let him drive.
Supplements and Vit D can make a big difference !!!
Hope you all have a great day!!

My doc sent me for all kinds of tests too. Pressure tests etc on my legs again make sure was not a clot. All came back fine no clots? I did show less blood pressure once past my ankle though. Thought prob from Neuropathy though. Good luck just make sure to tell your doctor about it.View Thread

Glad you told the docs. Fibro fog does make us forget things. I hope you find the cocktail which is right for you. I also take at night a small 25mg Elavil too. Again I take all small doses not the higher recommended dose of anything. We are all different. And of course natural supplements. Vit D is a must as it really does help with your pain level.View Thread

Everyone is different though. I know some people on here can not take either let alone both together. Are both aware you going to be taking both? I would ask the doc prescribing the new med if aware already taking Cymbalta. But again this was the best cocktail for me.
