Posted by Fibromyalgia Support as Fibromyalgia-Medication
It all started 4 years ago (it will be 5 years this November). I felt really dizzy and ill so I went to the doctor multiple times and every time they told me that I have an ear infection so they prescribed antibiotics. The last time I tried doxycycline it made me very sick to my guts and so I went back to the doctor to get a different sort of medication. She listened to all my symptoms and pretty much prescribed drugs for all my symptoms. For my backache she gave me skelaxin, for my nose she gave me nasonex, for my ear infection she gave me levaquin, and for my stomach she gave me prevacid. I asked her a bunch of times if mixing these meds will do anything and she said no. That night I couldn’t eat alot cause all the meds made me nauseous so I went to bed and woke up in the middle of the night and my heart was racing and I felt like I couldn’t move or talk. I could barely move I found out but I had a hard time yelling for my brother to wake up and come tell me what the problem could be. After that I have had major back problems where my shoulder blades feel like they are "butterflying" because I have such big muscle spasms. I have been to many chiropractors, doctors, neurologists, etc. and all they can say is they don’t know. I have had the "no pain" therapy, been cracked, been to a physical therapist, been on depression meds, and even fibromyalgia medication and nothing seemed to help. I have had an MRI of my head, xrays of my back and one of those tests where they check the pain temperature (something like that) of my back and up towards my shoulder blades and neck, it was off the charts. I have had a massage therapist massage me for days and nothing, it always was there. Can anyone help?
Also, I can’t see very well—seems blurry at times and like the pixels are missing and I feel a very numb/feeling throughout my body. Like I feel my hip is there all the time if you know what I mean. It’s hard to explain.
I was 20 when it all started and now I am 24 going to be 25. I have never smoked a day in my life yet my mom and dad do which makes me never want to do it ever. The neurologist gave me a medication at the time that they were trying for pain with MS and it didn’t help at all just made me sleepy(Lyrica). I know I need to have a spinal tap done but I don’t want to get it until I know for sure that it is what I need cause all the bills add up and I just got done paying a bunch off so if I am going to go through this again I just want to make sure. My back pops alot and the pain shoots up my neck into my jaw and into my head where I get headaches. It also shoots down my side and leg.
