Give them a try and see if you improve.
Diagnosed with RLS.
Taking Sifrol>
and an anti anxiety attack drug called Xanor.
Will continue for more work ups.
I am not sure WHAT exactly the disorder or disease you have. It sounds to me STRONGLY of something metabolic.
Hopefuly these labs will provide some answers. I will be surprised if they all come back clean/ok.
Hi

Thanks Londres,
By the way, forgot to tell you I have been on Methycobal 500 mg 2x a day.
I dont know side effects and I dont know if it is helping since symptoms are still there.
I stopped Neurontin (gabapentin) , I only took it for 7 days>
Experienced back and chest pain.
Seeing him today to tell him I stopped.
I am seeing an Endocrinologist today as well.
Dont know if I have andropause symptoms as well.
I am single by the way, 38 yrs old.
I am a smoker as well.
Thanks again.
You can try my recommendations I have listed in my previous posts.
Do have Fibro ruled out.
I had recent labs last Oct 26.
Sodium and potassium is normal
I dont know what to what out for my CBC.
RBC is high
WBC is low
MCV,MCH and MCHC is low
RDW is high
Today I think I had IBS, since I have diarrhea>
I really appreciate you taking the time to talk.
No recent labs? You need labs redrawn. I still think this is metabolic.
See the Rheumatologist, but I am not sure if you will get any answers from him/her.
I would recommend consulting an Endocrinologist.
These CAN be signs of Fibro, but let the Rheumatologist rule that out.
Hi Londres70
Thanks for the insight.
I was hospitalized and they conducted series of blood tests.
Initially they said, electrolyte imbalance.
Last time they checked I have low sodium..so they gave me sodium chloride tablets.
Now, since I am feeling weak, thinking so much, experienced muscle pains in extremeties, specially lower legs,back and chest and headaches.
I lost my apetite and has lost weight. I am trying to maintain my energy since when I dont eat these pains are terrible.
Before I can sleep well but now I cant.
Difficult to fall asleep and usually has 3 to 4 hrs sleep only.
I am into celebrex (pain killers) and mecobalamin at the moment.
Are these signs of fibromyalgia?
Please help.
I am setting an appointment with rheumatologist.
In my opinion, this sounds metabolic in nature, NOT cancer.
Have you had a metabolic panel done? (sodium, potassium, glucose, magnesium, calcium, etc.) Serum Iron panel done? Serum B12? These are labs.
I think the lumbar MRI will NOT result in answers, but you can get it.
