Anyone have experience with Toradol?

Has anyone noticed significant relief of their fibromalgia pain after receiving an IV shot of Toradol?While undergoing CPAP calibration I awoke in the middle of the night with sever chest pain that did not resolve itself. I was instructed to go to the ER where they gave me a shot of Toradol. This was at least my 4th experience with an IV shot of Toradol. After each of these shots my FMS symptoms nearly disappeared for a fairly significant time. At least a week, possibly with benefits…See More

Keep in mind the desert can give relief for a number of reasons that are not related directly to climate. Having grown up in the Mojave desert I can say that while there my allergies were non-existent. But as soon as I would…

Rick, I am currently using an anonymous name. The simple reason is that I had a bad experience where my boss found out about the state of my illness and raised the issue at work and in front of other people. His concern was…

David Amerson replied to Randall's discussion 'What triggered or caused your fibro?'

Mine came on slowly so it's hard to say though I have often speculated on it. 1. Sever trauma that nearly cost me my arm and required a number of surgeries. 2. Stress? Possibly... my last two jobs were training what I knew would…

I am pretty sure I haven't tired Cymbalta but have tried so many anti-depressants and none helped with the pain but as you mentioned, at least one of them helped with sleep. Though this has left me on disability, the pain can be mild to…

Odd, I actually had some pretty good experience with acupuncture and I have to say I was a very strong skeptic going in thinking it was akin to magic. But after my first session (with a licensed specialist though Kaiser medical) my pain…

Glad to hear something is helping. I get little if any relief from the anti-depressants that they have given me. I might consider giving up sex if I they had not made me feel so flat and emotionless. I can't…

David Amerson replied to Bill Cohen's discussion 'Ever want to kill yourself?'

There have been times I wished I were dead if only to stop the pain but NEVER have I wanted to commit suicide. The good news for men is that it's really rare that we'd commit suicide due to Fibromyalgia but the pain is ust as serious…

I too had this problem and eventually had to just say no to all anti-depressants. I wasn't willing to give up my physical relationship with my wife. And it's a proven fact that not emptying the prostrate can cause…

I had the memory foam, and it felt like a rock. I mean it can only compress so far before it becomes hard and cannot be compressed further. In addition, they tend to cause hot spots which cause you to toss and turn more. …

David Amerson replied to Keith Cohen's discussion 'Is there a real solution for an inactive libido?'

Yes Keith, the only solution I found was to STOP the anti-depressants. They helped with the pain and sleep but also made me feel very flat. No emotional downs but no ups either. Looking at my wife of 30+ years no…

Introduction...

First let me say that I have changed my name on the forum as I someday hope to return to work and have found these forums are open to Google searches and it's my goal to be able to return to work. I hate not being able to work.The story short as possible. 1) About 8 or 9 years ago I noticed fairly constant pain in my calve muscles. Especially at night. More annoying than anything else but years the pain spread to my thighs and eventually my entire body though my legs are still the most…See More
