Chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, resteless legs,cause and treatment

[blacksheepgirl]

I have lupus, higher than normal LFT's, had an ultrasound today. I'm hypothyroid, get seirzures, corisone deficiant, addison's disease, asthma, osteoporosis, arthritis, vitamin D deficiancy, optic nerve hypoplasia because of septo optic dysplasia, leukopenia, gum problems, palpitations now and then, anxiety, depression, attention deficit disorder and for some odd reason one time my finger tips turned a funny greenish color. Scared me so bad!!!!

[PamelaViktoria]

I recovered. The highlights: Fluoride sits in your pineal gland, slowing down melatonin production. If you stop sleeping, you'll never recover. I went on the raw food diet. My PH went up to 6.6. (my lowest was 4.5 yikes! At 8 oclock, all our lights are turned off. From 10-12 oclock, your liver does magnificent work. If you have any questions, please ask. I wish someone could have told me all this, instead of experimenting over and over. Also feel free to look at my blog about my experience.

How about the correlation between chronic fatigue(and brain fog) and celiac disease?

~Travis~

[JSERNAMD]

@Travisevian : Dear Travis: perhaps a swollen mucosa is a good portal of entry for bacteria (normal bacteria) in an immunodepressed person (which is a characteristic a chronic fatigue) ending in bacteremia truly septic (but with normal bacteria). With chronic fatigue the normal bacteria end up being opportunistic.  God bless, JS

...what antibiotics did you say served you well because I couldn't understand what you said, also I have been diagnosed with leukopenia and hematologist order a bone marrow biopsy to determine if I have leukemia or lymphoma...is leukopenia usually associated with having these blood cancers?

[CrossCompond]

Hi, I'm rich. And I'm,. making a comment about a doctor I know! His name is Daniel Parons, and he is a brave Periodontist! Daniel Parons runs his X-Ray machine in...New J land, where lots of TV-Certified Hygenists come to help him along. He wears the leadvest for the rays with them, and vigor, and always makes sure to expose and develop for the pictures!

One time Daniel attempted to work as a real doctor, but met his match whilst trying to diagnose Phimosis....

Thanks for this video. Please do take a look at our channel as we have many specialised chronic fatigue syndrome videos

[pigeonsintheattic]

The reason antibiotics work for chronic fatigue syndrome, and RLS is because it is more likely than not an undiagnosed Bacterial infection otherwise known as Lyme Disease. My RLS, (and Lyme) was much alleviated by antiobiotics.

Western Blot test or better, is the only way to detect lyme. (It's usually a clinical diagnosis).

[kimisue100]

Thank you for your video, just watching it was helpful, since I still haven't grasp the idea of having fibro. Diagnosed over 3 years ago by 4 drs. Just can't accept it, I guess. Anyway, thanks Dr., you sound like a great guy.

I haven't slept well in about two and a ahlf weeks. i don't have restless legs. I only sleep about one to two hours. I feel like im dragging myself every where and I can't nap during during the day. I have been a little stressed lately but nothing to serious. I have tried sleep aids and Sinus pills that are for night time and i still can't sleep. Any of that sound strange?

[BaileyLush]

Do you have a fucked up nose- or any kind of chronic sinitus? Any other health probalems that you are aware of? It does sound strange, if all of a sudden you just couldn't sleep. Good luck to you.

[SwiftNightRunner]

Nope. I've been 100% healthy

[BaileyLush]

Yeah that's weird man. I would get yourself checked out if this persists. I'm sure it's nothing serious, but it would be good to know regardless.

[commonworldcitizen]

Hey How much do you weigh ? May you should check out if you have sleep apnea ?

[sassybeauty69]

I've tried all of those things you are discussing, but I have MS with Chronic Fibromyalgia. My potasium level is low as well. I take my B vitamins, Magnesium, Malic Acid, Vitamin D, Lovaza, as well as Fentanyl patchv @ 75, soma, & norco. I have High BP that can go very very low when I am not in pain. How do you explain to a patient who is a high risk faller, emotional, forgetful, weak, anxiety disorder and cannot sleep. Taking all the right meds seeing different doctors with no answers?

[josephsernamd]

Dear 40: If you are feeling febrile (and if you were my patient) I'd empirically try an antibiotic on you. Folks with fibromyalgia will notice a decrease or disappearance of pain only to recur (remember we may have 2 or more reasons for pain) after the end of antibiotic treatment,....take the vitamins (in large dosages) protein, zinc and stretch to painful limit (and beyond), if after 3 weeks there is no improvement, stop.

[bkearnaghan]

I've been on Norco off and on and have found that when I am on it, I feel normal and have the energy to do the normal things in life.  However, I am addicted. I've been off Norco for 12 days now and have been miserable and very fatigued. I am trying to eat right and take vitamins as well.

[churzz21]

i feel ya man, it makes me want to go back to eating pills just so my legs dont feel like weights

[josephsernamd]

I am truly glad.

[happilylil]

i really love taking Vilift, it's simply the best. i am taking this for 5 months already and i am getting good results.

[islamonly1]

I have been dagnosed with Fibromyalgia, and my biggest problem is insomia that comes with it...

I hate medicines though they gave me sleeping pills i am not taking them should I, i wonder?

[josephsernamd]

Use the sleeping pills for a short duration during your recovery , I would take the vitamins in large amounts along with the protein and stretch the painful sites. No heavy workouts until 1 month later (after the onset of vitamin/protein ingestion)

[islamonly1]

Thank you for your responde.

As a matter of fact I did my prescribtion today and was given Tradozodore and hoping that will work..

And they found out that I had depression as well..

Well; i lost my father two months ago and my husband is in the US ARmy and in Iraq for about 8 months now...

[charminpitts]

WOW! You just described my aches and pain perfectly! I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, and restless legs syndrome. And I am sure, although never diagnosed, I have chronic fatigue syndrome. I also have more pain on my left side. I have been in bad shape about ten years now, although some of the pain started in my teens. I will certainly try the vitamins and let you know how well it works. Only one thing though, a tick was found attached to my head and it had been there a while..Lyme?

[josephsernamd]

thank you,  JS

[ecftube]

CFS, Fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome, and many others are diseases which Lyme disease mimics. Wrote an informational brochure on Lyme disease with the help of 2 Lyme specialists....will email a copy to anyone.

[freynekennedy]

Thank you Dr. for this information and your phone number. It's important to me especially as regards to antibiotic use. Due to FM chronic epstein barr so and so forth I experience infections while an antibiotic helps clear up an infection, time after time it leaves me "feeling" worse, completely debilitated for weeks on end and depressed as in chemical depression - every single time I take antibiotics this occurs.

[ndnjgk66]

I have joint pain in wrists, hips, shoulders, hands - all mostly left side. I get migraines for which I take Imitrex 100mg. I have depression for which I take Lexapro 20mg. Been diagnosed with fibromyalgia for which I take darvocet & valium 5mg. I'm a chronically fatigued, sleep disturbed 190 lb. male. My last blood work-up was fairly normal except for high triglicerides & cholesterol for which I take Simvastatin 20mg.

My fibromyalgia & depression is what's bothering me most. Comments?

[josephsernamd]

Dear66:  I'll try to give more details on another clip this week (500 characters is to short). I have to say that the hand an wrist pain is most likely no realted to fibromyalgia (RA?) But you could have both.

[ndnjgk66]

Forgot to write that I have Osteo Arthritis. Also, I'm 61 years old.  I was a professional drummer for 30 years. Also have fatty tumors throughout my body, and had a very large one removed (non cancerous) at MD Anderson in 2003 from under my right armpit/chest wall/scapular.

In my younger days, I was twice diagnosed with hypothyroidism. All in all, I'm actually in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in - just lots of joint pain/headaches/TMD/depression.

Thanks...

[ndnjgk66]

Also, when my family doctor did the "pressure points" testing for possible fibromyalgia, I nearly jumped off the table.

[josephsernamd]

I'll try and set up a clip this week, but I should tell you that if you super stretch the painful sites and take high doses of vit.C, B complex, zinc and protein the pain will increasingly subside.

I like to use Tramadol for pain (It makes some patient's dizzy) but it allows you to stretch and sleep.

Once again the hands and wrists are arthritic not dibromyalgia. best wishes, JS

[amatrineprincess77]

I suffer from RLS and I noticed that when my iron is low, my RLS symptoms are amplified. Conicidence? Can RLS be in anyway linked to PCOS? I don't want to be a person with many lables. I would like one thing to be the cause of all of them and find one cure and be done with it.

[josephsernamd]

Dear 77: Most women (without polycystic ovaries) complain of low back pain ( "as if I'm going to deliver" ) dark menses, increased achiness of affected sites with menses. Because the empirical use of an antibiotic (choose considering GI bacterial/contaminant) greatly relieves the symptoms in most of these women, normal GI bacterial overgrowth of the endometrium is the suspect.

[amatrineprincess77]

What if i am allergic to a lot of antibiotics such as anything from the cillian family and some of the others like zithromax? cillians caused my throat to close when i was a child and have been afraid of antibiotcs since lol.
