I had an EMG of my upper body 2 years ago which was negative and I didn't think it hurt at all compared to the pain I was already in but I have heard that the lower body EMG is a lot worse but that too shall pass and I will have more answers when it's done.
All I ask for is answers as to my body's self destruction and adequate pain relief a simple request in my book and thankfully I think between my regular doc and the neuro I may just get there. The light at the end of the tunnel is getting a little bit brighter for sure!View Thread

When I talk to them I will let them know we are getting there but I need some day time pain relief for the neck/back/joint pain that the Soma doesn't cover. Hopefully it will only be temporary if the SCS is a success I am hoping I can (maybe) eliminate the need for pain medication.
While I am sleeping better and longer of course with fibro I still don't feel well rested when I get up and I still have the morning stiffness. I do however feel that we are finally on the right road to getting my pain under control so I can be the best me that I can be.View Thread


My primary care doc is a good guy and I have always had a good relationship with him in the past. Unfortunately it is easier to get in to see the NP so I have been seeing her for a few years. I insisted on seeing the doc this time because she is starting to roll her eyes when I discuss symptoms and she blows me of and blames it all on the FM. If that wasn't bad enough the straw that broke the camel's back was the dreaded "you have FM you can't possibly be in that much pain" that did it for me and I will discuss that with my doc.
I will try to remember to e-mail you. I'm not good about checking mine very often so I tend to forget I have one.View Thread

I don't know if the pain I am dealing with is from the DDD/arthritis or if it is from my FM. The current FM med and antidepressant I am on aren't working either. I feel exactly the same whether I take them or I don't. I honestly don't care what my doctor does to get me some relief I will try anything to knock the pain down to a manageable level.View Thread

We had our Christmas dinner and celebration today so I of course over did it trying to get all of the gifts wrapped and food prepared and I am paying for it tonight. I will take all of my meds, including the Norco, take a hot shower and head to bed shortly in hopes of getting a good nights sleep.
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and best wishes for a Happy New Year!
