Dawg Tired Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 We seem to have many here with fibro, it does add to the problems. In my case I think I had the fibro for a long time before the autonomic symptoms really slammed me.How is the health care in Mexico for these problems?

morgan617 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I've had it for 30 years, so I guess I've just gotten used to it. I worked for a very long time with it, but it was very hard. I just go day to day, like I do with everything else. Sorry I can't be of more help...morgan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poohbear Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I too have Fibro and the two things that have most helped me is #1 Restorative Sleep (much easier said than done) and #2 Gentle isometric exercises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evie Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi there For me the best thing is massage. I need a massage at least once a week or the pain gets much tougher to deal with. Deep sleep also does wonders (as poohbear said) and also magnesium suppliments help or hot baths with epsom salts (has magnesium in it too). Magnesium can be tough on the stomach, its a bit of a juggle finding the tablet that suits you the best sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poohbear Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi!No, I do not have a port for IV use. I have a pacemaker and my Dr and I decided the risk did not outweigh the benefit. The risk of infection increase with a port or PIC line; if it were to get infected it would go straight to the heart and the pacemaker leads would then have to come out which would be a much more serious issue.I was using saline on a more regular basis but since my veins are not good we have stopped using saline routinely and are only using it for my exceptionally bad crashes.I have increased my salt even more though to try to help retain fluid.Oh, and I ditto what Evie said about massage....great help with Fibro.
