    • Close Fibromyalgia

      Althought I've had symptoms for many years, I've just started the diagnosis process.

      Treatments

      Heat Working / Worked
      Neck & back pain are relieved with heat.
      Hydrocodone Working / Worked
      Doctor RX when I broke my arm. I only take it at bedtime and it really helps with the pain that normally keeps me awake half the night. PA was willing to RX. So glad. Stops pain for me and allows me to sleep.
      Robaxin Not Working
      Doc felt this might be more effective than Flexeril.
      Tramadol Somewhat Helpful
      Can't take optimal dose, but it helps take the edge off the pain
    • Close Restless Legs Syndrome

      I've had RLS for about 25 years. My mother had it, so I guess I inherited it. I didn't know what it was the first 10 years, just knew I couldn't keep my legs still and had to get up in the middle of the night to exercise just so I could get some sleep. It has gotten progressively worse over the past 7 or 8 years and now includes my arms and happens earlier in the day and throughout the night.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Too Soon to Tell
      Requip Working / Worked
      Worked for years, but started making me so nauseous I had to stop taking it.
      Stretching Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes if my legs arre being really uncooperative I will get up and do some stretches that really extend my arms legs and that seems to help some.
