    Medical Malpractice question regarding pain medication- Help!

    Hi everyone, I have a question regarding a very upsetting incident that occurred this week with my doctor. I was prescribed oxycodone about a year ago for my chronic pain, migraines and Fibro. I was told by my GP and other specialists that this was the best solution at the time, as no other...

    Looking to talk to anyone who is currently on pain medication (oxycodone or percocet)

    Hi everyone, I am currently on oxycodone 10 mg tabs. I take 15 mg every six hours and sometimes 20 mg. I have been on them for awhile now. about 7 months.

    Could it be Fibromyalgia?

    Hey all, this post may get long and I apologize. I am a 28/f who has just graduated nursing school. A couple of months ago I decided to cut down on the Wellbutrin I was taking due the anxiety and irritability it was causing. I started experiencing generalized numbness and twitching mostly in my...

    Cymbalta withdrawal horrors

    I was reading in another site, (people's pharmacy), about all the people having such trouble withdrawing from Cymbalta. From "brain zaps" to severe anxiety, vomiting, diarrhea, migraines and on and on. These symptoms can last months or a year or more. Most doctors don't even know about this as...

    Another Dr. , Another frustration - when will I know what's wrong?

    Sigh, all I want for Christmas is a doctor who will figure out what the heck is wrong with me! :confused: So my rheumatologist does not treat Fibro, he "only excludes it as a possibility" None of the tests he ran came back with a clue as to what might be the cause of my fatigue, muscle pain...

    Caffeine helping fibro?

    Well I don't know whether to say helping or not. I'm a person who usually had 6-8 teas per day, so I'm not at the stage where caffeine has little positive effect, but yesterday I withdrew completely and my CFS and fibro symptoms where exacerbated. However seeing as I'm come off withdrawal and...

    Acetylcholine and Brain fog.

    I will probably discuss this elsewhere in the future, but this is just a testing ground for my theory at the moment, to see what others think. It is known that there are acetylcholine receptors in the tongue. This is why nicotine gum works and why smokers can feel the effect of nicotine before...

    Kratom?

    My husband has recently decided that he is done with the narcotic pain medications that he has been on for years now. This prompted us to start a search for something that will help him deal with the pain but that is a more herbal remedy, we found Kratom. This is from a tree that is related to...
