How Can I Ease My Pain?
Hi all, ive just been diagnosed after suffering since the age of 14 i am now 29. However due to the times at the moment i dont have an appointment to discuss my diagnosis with the doctors.
What types of treatments do they offer and how can i manage it going forward?
My main symptoms are:
Tiredness
Pain in muscle and joints
Ibs
Anxiety
Thanks!
I have Chronic Depression, anxiety, panic attack disorder, fibromyalgia, IBS, arthritis, and a long list of other things.
I use a meditation app. It helps me through panic attacks. The sleep stories help me on sleepless nights. The meditation helps me breath through pain. I know Meditation doesnβt work for everyone but focusing on my breathing helps me SO much. I hope It helps you. The app I use is called Calm.
Thanks all! Im already on vitamin d and folic acid. My blood test has now come back fine since on these daily.
Ive been to rheumatology that is who has diagnosed me.
Looks like ill have to wait then... Our doctors and hospitals are not taking non emergency appointments.
Thanks!

Many of the types of Medication that we are on may not be right for You.
Tiredness - You may need to have a Blood Test to check your Vitamin Levels, especially your Iron levels in case you have iron deficiency anemia.
Checking Vitamin D, Vitamin B12 as well. Could be the reason that you are tired.
Pain in Muscles and Joints - You might need an Anti-inflammatory such as Naproxen.
IBS - you may need to go on a gluten free diet. Or take Probiotics.
Anxiety - You might need to try some coping methods or ask your Doctor for medication.
Everything depends on your Doctor and your metabolism as all of us are different and handle medications differently.

You need a referral to a rheumatologist who specializes in fibro and a gastroenterologist for your IBS. Organise a telehealth appt by phone with your gp for these referrals.
We are on lockdown at the moment so this wont happen for a while. I want to know if there is anything like yoga, meditation, exercise recommended etc in the meantime. As otherwise i have been left to suffer with the pains thanks!
