Been soooo miserable, having fibromyalgia on my upper body and apparently the endo still mercilessly beating at my lower body. My pain-specialist finally heard it in my voice today... that I need HELP.
I WILL NOT GOOGLE the meds tramadol and neurontin. The less I know, the better. I don't ever expect to be 100%; I just want normalcy. As much as I love my cats, I want to get out again and enjoy what's left of the summer!

I sure hope you feel better soon. Pain can sure take a toll on us! I am NOT saying this help me with Fibro but I was taking Glucosamine and Chorondrin for my Herniated Disk (I know vitamins are not a cure and don't help everyone) and after using it so many months I found my Firbro was better and I know Glucosamine and Chorondrin is NOT for Fibro so could just be a coincident when my Fibro got better. It is so hard for me to take Vitamins because of my painful mouth sores and I can't swallow them due to something in my Esophagus as I have to open the caps and take them that way AND THEY BURN SO MUCH so when I ran out I did not buy it right away and my Fibro got worse! Yeah, quite a coincident. I purchased Glucosamine and Chorondrin again and after so many months it was better again. I could not even raise one of my arms or stretch my arm out to pick up a glass or something and the way I am so allergic to meds I just suffer or meds don't help me so since I am odd meds not helping me guess I am odd on something that does help. I can raise my arm somewhat again but I have plenty of other things I suffer with LOL I don't take any synthetics the vitamins I take and all natural ones only just in case you want to try that too along with the meds. But you should always wait at least a hour in between taking vitamins and taking meds as the meds can destroy the effectiveness of the meds. Even if the vitamins don't help the physical problems doctors now are sure recommending to take vitamins. My regular and eye doctor both have but when she pulled out a bright red vitamin I said no thanks I prefer a all natural vitamin LOL Sure hope you can enjoy the summer again. My favorite time of the year is Fall. Sorry to be so longgggggg Hugs and Blessings, Country

I hope you feel better soon. I just try to sleep through my flares. Have you had your vitamin d level checked? Since being on that rx strength my flares have been cut down to a thrid. I also use enbrel which really helps.

I hope you can enjoy whats left of the summer. I am trying to do the same thing now with my new meds, but they take a month to kick in- so i might have to wait for next year :( I hope the medicine starts helping you, and im glad the pain doctor realized that you need help- Finally someone to listen! I hope you have a great day! Big hugs!
