    Kratom

    I personally don't have Fibro but my mom has been living with it for decades. She was unable to use the prescribed medication they give for Fibro so she uses Kratom. Has anyone else used this? It has done wonders for her!

    Pain Medication

    I've tried hydrocodone and oxycodone, and now tramadol: I didn't like the Percocet or Vicodin, and the tramadol makes me feel dependent. What are some other pain killers that are used in treating fibro? Have you had luck with any of these? SickNicole
