"

I started on celebrex a week before my period started. And during my period, I had backaches, but no cramps. Is this from the celebrex? Usually 2 advil kick the pain, so Im just wondering if it took care of it instead."

From: www.livejournal.com

"This is going to sound really weird.

For the past month or so I have been hearing things. I'll hear something that sounds like a TV is on somewhere in the house, but there won't be a TV on. It's like mumbles. I'll be laying in bed, and I'll be the only one home, then I'll hear what sounds like people talking, though I can't understand anything they are saying because it's very quiet, so then I'll think someone has come home, but when I get up and open my door to check, no one is home. I can't figure it out. I will try to strain my hearing, in hopes that I will be able to understand or at least figure out what the noise is, but I can't. I have permanent hearing loss, and it seems to be getting worse, so when I'm actually watching TV I have to turn the volume up or it sounds just like the mumbling. Has anyone had this? It's starting to freak me out, I can't figure out why I am hearing this stuff.

Any tips on how to make it stop, or any guesses on why I'm hearing things would be wonderful!

Thanks,
Mandas

"i have a question for all of you:

has anyone ever used lidoderm patches to treat muscle pain related to fibromyalgia?

my mom was prescribed them because of nerve damage in her back. she gave me some to try, thinking that maybe it would help with bad muscle knots by numbing the pain or whatever it is supposed to do.

does anyone have experience with these? please let me know. i've tried them a few times, but i'm not sure if they are making any difference.

thanks!
melissa"
