Have Fibromyalgia, Seizures. Taking Keppra For Pain And Hot Flashes. Suggestion?
I read the question and comments from NanCcan about having pain waves followed by hot flashes. I have the exact same thing since July of 2010. I have fibromyalgia and just recently have had 2 seizures. I am on Keppra which has reduced the pain waves but not all nor reduced the intensity of the pain. I get them all day and they wake me up at night. I can t get my doctor to believe me. I lost my commercial driving job due to the seizures so I now have no income or insurance and my doctor keeps telling SSD that I m not disabled so he is making it impossible to get assistance. anyway. does anyone have a diagnosis for these pain waves or a better medical term?
Something I just realized I forgot to add is that I was on Depo-Provera shots for 11 (eleven) years and stopped in 2007 when I had a hysterectomy.
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The pain waves that you are feeling are a part of fibromyalgia. If the pain waves are debilitating then you need to consult a pain specialist for the proper management. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
