    New...Not New To Fibromyalgia...Flared Again

    I have been through hell and back with the debilitating pain of fibro and the fatigue. I couldn't work, get out of bed to take care of my kids, going to the bathroom took all my effort. I ended up on T3's, and a crazy dose of gabapentin, morphine and tramadol. I ended up staying on this for...

    Would complete bed rest help flare?

    Hi. I'm experiencing a flare that has lasted several weeks. I've cut back my activity level, & being more strict about pacing. But even when I'm sitting, I'm working on projects, e.g. online Christmas shopping, family history research, editing, etc. If I blocked off an entire day of bed rest...

    Blessings! Giving Thanks!

    I am a seamstress out of my home. I sell stuff on a site for homemade stuff. I don't think I'm supposed to mention the name of the site. I really haven't done very well with it. Perhaps because I chose to start out with drawstring bags but I've graduated to the Vera Bradley type purses and...

    New and discouraged

    I am a 60-year-old California lawyer, diagnosed a couple of months ago. My husband has advanced Alzheimer's and I suspect the past 5 years of caring for him has taken a pretty big toll. I have tried Cymbalta, Trazadone and Ambien but nothing has helped yet. I cannot remember sleeping through...

    Medication no longer working

    Hello, everyone...I have a question about my pain meds. I have been taking Cymbalta and Tramadol for pain (I'm allergic to Neurontin). The Tramadol seemed to really help at first, but after a year plus of taking it, it doesn't seem to be as effective anymore. My GP seems apprehensive to...

    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...
