refractory state a condition of subnormal excitability of muscle and nerve following excitation.

ground state the condition of lowest energy of a nucleus, atom, or molecule.
persistent vegetative state a condition of profound nonresponsiveness in the wakeful state caused by brain damage at whatever level and characterized by a nonfunctioning cerebral cortex, the absence of any discernible adaptive response to the external environment, akinesia, mutism, and inability to signal; the electroencephalogram may be isoelectric or show abnormal activity. Vegetative states raise ethical questions regarding appropriate care, use of resources, and allowing a patient to die.
refractory state a condition of subnormal excitability of muscle and nerve following excitation.
resting state the physiologic condition achieved by complete bed rest for at least 1 hour.
steady state dynamic equilibrium.

Patient discussion about state.
Q. Do we have these drugs in the United States and could you give me some information about them? Hello friends, I am diagnosed as Fibromyalgia for the past 6 months and I have been talking to people across the world and they have suggested taking some drugs that I am unable to find here in the United States. The people I have been talking to are mostly people from Australia. They have recommended Lamictal and Ultram. Do we have these drugs in the United States and could you give me some information about them?
A. I took everything over the courter,they didnot work,i had to go to a rheumatologist. She put me on ultram.they work.try them.
Q. How can a person with fibromyalgia go through a state of not being able to move for hours? How can a person with fibromyalgia go through a state of not being able to move for hours? Can they sense touch and feel and are they able to talk or have limited movements?
A. First to LukeHome. I also have fibromyalgia BUT I have something called migrains with neurological tendencies b/c when I get my really BAD headaches I am like a stroke victim...I have one side of my body I can not move or use, my face even draws and gets that "downward" smile. I can talk, tell you wher I hurt, if I try to walk I am off balance , I stumble and fall b/c I do not have use of one side of my body. It is an awful experince and the first time it happened I thought i was dying, the ER docs thought they had a 30 year old stroke victim and I was hospitalized 4 days while they "located" the problem. So I don't think it has to do with fibro BUT there is something goin gon. Have you talked to a doctor about it???I encourage you to so they can find the source of this problem. Good Luck and God bless.

there are several things you can do to try to feel better BUT I think you would get a better response if you posted your question on your own instead
