With my Fibromyalgia I have been having more and more sensitivities and allergies. What's worse is that last week, at Sparks Hospital in Fort Smith AK, they gave me Demoral of which I have never had any reaction to and have always used it for surgery and surgical procedures. Within 6 mins I broke out in hives and had a tightness in my chest. So add that one to my medicine allergy list and that makes 22. My worst are Latex, Morphine, Tylenol and Iodine/betadine. I go into anaphalaxis shock with the first three.
Today going to the pain doctor was such a fiasco since they are trying to determine what to give me for pain. We had to rule out all things with Tylenol shortening the list and then with Morphine further shortening the list. And all we came up with was Fenteyal patch at 12 mcg which is the only dosage they give for that.
I have had in the past trigger point injections and injections in my low back and hips with an xray that have really helped. However, this pain clinic doesn't do that yet. They keep saying they are going to have another doctor in the clinic who will be doing those things. All I can say is hurry it up. The PA felt my trigger points and felt how inflamed they were but just said she will add me to the top of the list for this new doctor that's joining their clinic. The nurse said maybe I should try CBD oil. That's an alternative but expensive.
It's not just medication allergies I have due to my Fibromyalgia. I also have allergies to soaps and that includes bath, dishwashing and laundry. I also can't wear clothing that is tight or that has tags as they also bother me. The only bras I wear or sports and only when I have to go to a doctor appt or an event. Otherwise at home I do without.
How many of you with Fibromyalgia also have allergies and to what?
