Hey everyone. I haven't been on for awhile.
I dislike my meds making feel like a zombie. I think I would rather handle the pain without meds. Its just so frustrating. :roll: I feel like a test dummy for some of these meds at times. It's like here try this, maybe this will work.

For those of you undergoing treatment (pain management) for your fibro, I have a question. Have you found the pain to be progressive in your body and life?
My pain has been dramatically progressive over the last two years, but I was not receiving treatment until this summer. Now that I have...
Hello everyone I'm new. I was diagnosed with fibro a few years ago but have been sick for over 10 yrs I'm 37. How bad do your pain get? The second I wake up I start crying and screaming. The meds help a little but I'm terrified that the pain is getting worse and the pain meds won't cover it. It...
I was diagnosed with fibro in February 2015. I was also diagnosed with severe anxiety and a couple other things. I currently take Cymbalta 90mg, Flexeril 10mg, Mobic 15mg, and Ambian 10mg. Ambian does not in any way help me sleep. My panic attacks and constant body pain keep me awake no matter...
Was recently diagnosed as having anemia after routine blood work with my GP. I had been feeling even MORE fatigued and made of lead prior to that ... and thought maybe it was a fibro flare.

Well I'm new here so thought I would post. I've had fibro for several years and like many spent the first 3 screaming WHY & trying ever drug that the big pharmaceutical companies push. I tried them all and then found an amazing Dr who was willing to work with ME & let me lead my journey.

My wife's coward of a GP just told her she "can't" prescribe her meds anymore. I think from my research it's more like "won't".
She said my wife needs to get them from a Pain Management doctor.
