      Hi - was just looking for posts on prevacid and saw yours. I noticed you said you had to take it because of the Fosamax. Why is that? Did the Fosamax give you heartburn?

    • Close Fibromyalgia

      Fibromyalgia has invaded my life for over 10-12 years now. It has taken a big chunk of my life from me. Thank God for my husband sticking by me through it all! He is a jewel.

      Treatments

      Cyclobenzaprine Somewhat Helpful
      I don't really notice too much of an improvement with this medication.
      Doxepin Working / Worked
      This has made me sleep very well. I reach that "stage 4" sleep that is needed by fibro people
      Fosamax Working / Worked
      I take this for osteoporosis. It does irritate your stomach, so I need Prevacid too
      MSM Somewhat Helpful
      Someone told me this stuff helps the fibro, so I am taking it. I take 500 mg twice a day.
      Prevacid Working / Worked
      To offset the Fosamax
    • Close Pulmonary Fibrosis

      I have PF too. I developed it after having gone through radiation treatments for cancer. I only found out I had it when I ended up in the hospital for double pneumonia, that's when I got the news that I had this horrible thing.

    • Open Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

      I have this lovely disease along with fibromayalgia, osteoporosis, pulmonary fibrosis and God knows what else is going to happen to me! LOL! I have had the CFS around 12 years now and the fibro came on a few years later. Life really stinks sometimes ya know?

      Treatments

      Paxil Somewhat Helpful
      I stopped taking this when I realized it wasn;t really doing anything and I was gaining weight from it
