Welcome Diane , firstly what did the Dr put u on.some Meds can make u dizzy confused and zombie like for a while.
Or they could be playing your PD up.
Do u have any of the tender points .not that means much in its self .i don't have many at all .
A lot of ppl with Fibro get very dizzy ,I no tons of ppl in here that do.drugs help but they never take away the pain for long if at all so I'm not surprised u aren't getting much relief .
We have tons of helpful members who will help u along this very hard and often frustrating road.fibro has its own agenda and it can take months before u have some kind of control over it.sleep is the most important thing to sort, proper sleep where u get into all 4levels of sleep. So if your not sleeping well it's worth talking to your Dr ,mostly there nerve blockers but they do help.in fact most Meds do help it's just we feel so much pain we don't think they are,
I came off two of mine because I didn't think they were working and bugger did I feel it.i won't be doing that in a hurry again.
Anyway stick around and share learn and grow with us x
