  • Support Groups

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      want to see what tx I have,tried, find support of those who are taking pain meds. I feel alone and in a way ashamed of taking them.

      Treatments

      Aqua Therapy Working / Worked
      hot water made joints sweel and painful. Have bursa in hip affeted by fibro as well.
      Duragesic Patch Working / Worked
      worked great first few months, had dose increased 3-4 times. skin breakdown, itchiness. If patch fell off it could not be replaced and had to go a week w/o it.
      Elavil Working / Worked
      tired, not much help
      Lyrica Not Working
      both legs SWELLED LIKE CRAZY!!!
      Morphine Working / Worked
      Kadian....works great for me
      Neurontin Not Working
      don't remember side effects I had
      TENS Somewhat Helpful
      helpful in beginning. eventually not well and the wires and such more of a bother than worth
      Ultram Not Working
      no help
      Positive Thinking Working / Worked
      If I allow myself to think about how I am feeling it feels worse and effects my family too. I remind myself the pain is not forever.Pain nothing compared to the eternity in heavenw/ our Lord.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      I find walking works best for me. My daughter is homeschooled and we walk several times a day to get out of the house and sometin=mes go over different lessons while we go. I tend to overdo it when I am feeling good
