Close Fibromyalgia

Hi, I have just joined, but I have very debilitating fibromyaliga and myofacial pain along with degenerative disk disease in my whole spine with chronic migraine headaches.

Treatments

Acupuncture Working / Worked

a little

Adderall Working / Worked

Yes, I take it everyday but only 15mg other wise it makes me have to much anxiety to take a whole 30mg that I was taking at first. I have been on this for three and a half years along with the Cymbalta

Aqua Therapy Working / Worked

yes, but I do not have one at home

Cyclobenzaprine Working / Worked

I have been on this for years. Just 10mg at bedtime.

Cymbalta Working / Worked

yes, all though I have put on thirty pounds, I have been on it for over three and a half years. It has just got approved by the FDA for fibromyaliga. June 13th 2008.

Duragesic Patch Working / Worked

I did try these and it did not work for me. I take oxycodone.

Elavil Working / Worked

I used to be on amitriptyline for over ten years and then had neck surgery and I was in so much pain that was not doing enough and that is when they put me on Cymbalta with narcotics because of my horrible pain everyday.

Guaifenesin Working / Worked

I have heard about this, but I have not tried this yet myself. I would be interested in hearing if this works or not?

Heat Somewhat Helpful

I use rice bags and put them in the microwave, on and off all day long. yes they help alot.

Lyrica Working / Worked

I tried this but made me retain to much fluid and weight gain, also it's alot like neurontin and that made me so ill I was in bed for almost three months of taking it.

Neurontin Working / Worked

Makes me really really ill. I cannot take this medicine.

TENS Working / Worked

I have one, it helps a wee bit when nothing ele seems to help. I like having it for one other option.

Ultram Working / Worked

Tried a long time ago and I really could not tell. I was thinking about taking that as an in between pain medicine. Would like to know if it helps others?

Vitamin B12 Too Soon to Tell

Not sure yet.

Zanaflex Working / Worked

I have never taken this.

Xanax Working / Worked

yes thank God this works for me at night two sleep. I take 3mg so I can sleep for a while anyway then I wake up at least two to three times a night and end up in my recliner in our livingroom. Wished I could sleep 8 hours through out the night.

Topamax Working / Worked

I just started it to help me so I do not get as many migraines and have to take my relpax that cost 10.00 a pill and so far the Topamax helps on a little dose but I find the next day i am to groggy probably with taking my sleep medicine too. The Topamax would help if I did not have to take sleep medicine but the two together does not do it for me.
