Blogs About Tietze’s Syndrome
Filed under: Tietze's Syndrome Facts | 6 Comments »We aren’t alone! I’ve stumbled across a lot of other blogs out there. Some are general blogs with posts about Tietze’s, but you’ll find snippets of information in all of them:
Tsetse Syndrome Attack!
Kai Shan in Singapore blogs about his Tietze Syndrome pain, which he (tongue-in-cheek) calls Tsetse, which is often confused with Tietze’s.
My Tietzes Blog
Charlie from England blogs about her Tietze’s in an effort to disseminate correct info about Tietze’s. A dedicated Tietze’s blog–awesome!
Standing Silent on Tietzes syndrome
This blog post by Standing Silent really struck a chord with me. I think it’s because when I first got Tietze’s, I felt so alone–just like her. And there’s so much garbage out on the web about the syndrome, the advice is often confused and outdated, adding to misery!
Costochondritis, Tietze’s syndrome, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
I found this blog by Fiona interesting because of her issues with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). I’m not sure if she has Tietze’s syndrome or costochondritis, but seeing as the two diseases are treated similarly it probably doesn’t matter much

Olli,
Thanks for the compliment! I’m glad you found the site; that’s what it’s all about–sharing information so we don’t have to suffer alone.
Best,
Stephanie
Your site was extremely interesting, especially since I was searching for thoughts on this subject last Thursday.
Hi,
I have been in pain for weeks now and I’m not sure how much more I can take. Toradol shot on tues-pill form till sat. I am in severe pain. Love Doc and he did echo stress, ekg, xray, ct. Heart is fine… Doc also said fibromialga pts have this syndrome. I have reatless leg (which is related) Is stress and anxiety really going to be a contributor to this syndrome? I’m a nurse (lifting and pulling on pts.) and a mom so there the stress!!! What next? I think pain meds or I can’t function right now at the height of this pain. Help, any knowledge would be great.
Stress can make it worse, yes. Have you read the treatments page? I hope something there will help, Stephanie.
I was diagnosed with chrondritis about six weeks ago. On all the sites I come across, everyone mentions the pain. So far I haven’t had the excruciating pain, more extreme discomfort like everything swollen inside my chest. This discomfort gets worse with exersion. Any one else suffer similar?
