He is sooo awesome!

I am struggling with my fibro and am in need of some understanding support.
Treatments
- Cyclobenzaprine Somewhat Helpful
- Flexeril did offer some relief but didn't like the hangover that comes with it's usage. I used this for years but recently switched to soma.
- Elavil Somewhat Helpful
- I used this for years. Awful side effects
- Heat Somewhat Helpful
- this is my buddy through thick and thin.
- Morphine Working / Worked
- was given in the emergency room. didn't like the side effects at all but it helped with the pain.
- TENS Somewhat Helpful
- did not find this to be too helpful but I continued to get the therapy anyway along with other physical therapies.
- Ultram Working / Worked
- I used this for years but recently was advised to stop taking because of other meds.
- Vitamin B12 Somewhat Helpful
- Not sure if this helped
