Hello- I’ve been the rheumatologist recently and he diagnosed fibromyalgia because my mom has a hx. I have plethora of autoimmune diseases in my family- hashimoto, graves, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and PMR to name a few

Symptoms: daily migraine, constant neck and shoulder pain/stiffness, orthostatic hypotension, general feeling of malaise / like i have a low grade fever, joint pain, restless legs

All my lab work comes back generally fine. Ana negative, rheumatoid panel negative.

However my CRP recently came back at 13 (was never tested prior) so my pcp wants me to go back to rheumatologist. I know this can be just general inflammation. I wasn’t sick at all with this lab test.

That being said, I am 33 y/o female. My symptoms line up almost perfectly with polymyalgia rheumatica(which my maternal aunt had) But I don’t want to look silly by bringing it up to them knowing 1) it’s mostly in elderly population and 2) I’m obviously not the expert. So, I’m wondering the general thoughts in rheumatology- will I be laughed away by asking this or is it a worthwhile avenue to consider? Thank you!!

I’ve recently found if I take one 5 mg cyclobenzaprine in the afternoon, I can sometimes go like 24 hours without neck/head pain, or without being bad enough I can’t function. But I’m only prescribed 14 for the month.

Does anyone have any experience with cyclobenzaprine being taken daily / scheduled ? I’m not sure if it would be crazy to ask for or not. From what I can tell, cyclo is pretty chemically similar to amitryptilline (which I did not respond well to)

Hey yall! I remember a while back it was talked about a study on nurtec daily instead of every other day. Does anybody know any updates on this? Was the study leaning towards it becoming daily?

I just started taking it as abortive and it works really well, but then with only 9 or even 15 as preventative it wouldn’t be enough. Quilipta and the injections didn’t work but nurtec for sure does
