    • About Me

      Hi. I'M 33, and I have fibromyalgia, degenerative disc disease, (significant problems in the c-3 - c-6 area, with severe bone spurs and cord contact)kyphosis in my upper back, extreme anxiety, depression and mood swings (bipolar). I stay in chronic pain. The meds give little relief but so thankful I have them. I finally got APPROVED on 3/20/09, for ssdi, Thank God. Has been a long road for me, both emotionally and physically. I am trying to learn to live one day at a time and to accept what I have and deal with it in some way.

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      I found i have had fms and degenerative disc disease since may 2005. Had to quit job oct 2006, due to the pain and the strong medications that caused me so much fatigue and memory loss, confusion and lethargy.

      Treatments

      Duragesic Patch Working / Worked
      been on it now for almost a month and it helps me besides the 3rd day the pain becomes more intense, then i change the patch
      Heat Working / Worked
      HELPS FOR BACK PAIN SOMETIMES
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      3 mg works well for me. but still have some undealt with anxiety
      Lamictal Somewhat Helpful
      UP TOO 200mg WORKS OK FOR ANXIETY AND ANGER ISSUES, HAS CHANGED MY LIFE
      Methadone Working / Worked
      Take 60mg daily. It helps but not as much as I would like it too. If I get my SSDI, going to try the duragesic patches out. Tired of all the pill popping. But overall methadone has helped.
      Morphine Not Working
      seems to help some, but went back to oxycodone. neither really helps, as far as i can tell
      TENS Somewhat Helpful
      use when pain is raging. seems to help some..

      THEY HELP WITH MY BACK PAIN, WHEN IT GETS TOO MUCH. WHICH IS NOW, EVERYDAY
      Morphine Not Working
      thinking of changing from oxyir to msir. the oxy seems not to help anymore. my dr may do it for me..since i am an established patient.
      Oxycodone Somewhat Helpful
      taking 30mg for breahtrough pain, along with methadone..
      Carisoprodol Working / Worked
      Helps with the muscle pain but is very sedating
