   Please Help, Weird Problems that dont make Sense (Open to All Health Related Topics board)

15th December 2004
:wave: Well, you sound like me several years ago. I now know I have Fibromyalgia. I was exhausted all the time even though I seemed to be getting good sleep. My doctor prescribed Flexeril, (Cyclobenzaprine) for me at night to help me sleep. I take it and can be up several hours, but when I go to sleep (easily) I sleep hard and wake up refreshed. It has made a huge difference in my life! All those with Fibro. can trace it back to a serious medical event, like you. See a Rheumatologist. I also get regular Massage Therapy. I was so impressed with what it did for me, I became a MT 2 1/2 yrs. ago. We store lactic acid in the muscles and it has to get out. Try detoxing, exercise as much as possible (this is not always easy, but is so good for us) or it is likely you will get worse. Find some good vitamins to take and drink tons of water.

Thank you for the replies. I have an appointment on January 3 with another doctor to find out what is going on. Both the fibro and the thyroid make sense. I take Skelaxin at night for sleep, but maybe the Flexeril may be better.
I have good insurance through my husband's work, do you think I should just flat out ask for a thyroid scan instead of getting blood taken all the time? I cant go on feeling like this and Im going broke buying new pants all the time because of the rapid weight loss, lol.
I drink lots of water and juices, which is one good thing. What type of medicines do they put you on for hypothyroidism?
Sorry for rambling, Im just sick of feeling like crap all day every day.
Thanks again, :wave:
