Medication

Because I've been living with my illness for over 15yrs now and I've been on several different meds I've learned that your body can become immune to the dose your on and then it's a case of your G.P increasing the dose or changing you to another medication. I've been on Cyclizine (an anti-nausea drug) for around 15yrs and have had to increase the dose I've been on several times now due to becoming immune. And over the last week I've started to feel nauseous and have a bad tummy and have realized that the Cyclizine dose I'm on I've become immune to. So now I've got to get an appointment or phone consultation slot to speak to my G.P to figure out the next step as to finding a new dose or new drug for anti-nausea. Do any of you suffer with the same thing becoming immune to your meds?

Amanda, yes! My pain medication I used for bad flare ups started not working as well for me. At times it actually made the fibro pain worse. I was taken off of it but have nothing to really take it's place except the milder pain medication I usually take. It has been very difficult lately and instead of being active now that summer is here, I spend most of the time in bed, in pain.

You ok, Jana? Just cheching cause you haven't been posting in a while...

Best wishes, Tessa

Well, yeah, that's exactly what I did, didn't I? But maybe, my fault of course, I just don't get what you mean, BUBBA! Take care! Tessa

I'm here! Actually, I have not been feeling well lately at all. I did get in to see my doctor and he has ordered a sleep study to start with. I'm starting to have some puzzling symptoms, including heart arhythmias, dizzy spells and other scary stuff. I am unable to do much physical activity (even less than usual) without problems. I guess that sleep deprivation, or not going through the proper stages of sleep can be dangerous. I started taking Ambien, a sleeping pill, 3 days ago and I have to say I feel a little better in the morning, but I'm exhausted beyond that.
