    discouraged with Rheumatologist

    I am new to this forum --am happy to have found someone who recognizes the pain I am in. I was diagnosed with Fibro in 1994 by a specialist who has since passed away. My PCP does not believe in Fibro so I went to the new Rheumatologist in the area because his ad said he treats Fibro. I was so...

    Meds for Pain

    For my fibro related pain, I currently have been taking Tramadol 100mg 4xs daily and Tizanadine 1-4mg, they are scored, as needed. I also take Cymbalta 60 mg once daily. Anyway, to get to the point, the medication no longer seems to manage my pain. I've been taking the medication for over a year...

    No pain/pressure points. Do I not have fibro then?

    Mine started shortly before my mom died last year (nov). It felt like bone pain--shoulders, forearms, outer hips, knees, hands, fingers, feet, legs. I thought initially it was b/c I had stopped my cal/mag suppliment (on account of supposed IBS triggering). I went back on it and the pain went...

    What if it's not Fibro?

    I don't really know where to post this. I guess I'm just venting about my worries so I'm putting it in here. I've been in pain and dealing with fibro symptoms for almost 3 years now (I know many of you have suffered much longer). My psychiatrist (who also does primary care) has diagnosed me...
