Close Fibromyalgia

Hello, I'm 28 years old. I'm married and have 3 children. 2 boys and a girl.Long story short, I have been in some sort of pain since the age of 13. Over the last few years I determined myself that I may have Fibromyalgia. I will be going to the dr next week. I also have lower back problems,arthritis and about a million other symptoms related to FM. UPDATE 2/08---Doctor confirmed FM and I also had an mri on my lower back and I have a bulging disc.

Treatments

Cyclobenzaprine Not Working

helped somewhat with my severe muscle tightness,not taking anymore due to no script.New Rx but not working as good as Zanaflex.

Heat Working / Worked

sometimes it helps, sometimes it dosen't.

Ibuprofen Working / Worked

I take 800mgs 3 times a day, every day.

Neurontin Not Working

took it once a couple years ago and i couldn't function the next day, so it wasn't worth taking it again.

Relafen Considering

I have been given a Rx for this but haven't filled it yet, due to $$$. I'm waiting for my insurance to kick in. I'm worried that it may not help as much as IB. Says it takes 2-3 weeks for full benefits.

Zanaflex Not Working

I take 1/2 a tablet at bedtime. Helps immensly with the tension, spasms...Side effects dizzyness if i don't go to bed right away, dry mouth, extreme drowsiness.

Close Hyperhidrosis

I believe my 3 year old daughter has hyperhidrosis. She has had extremely sweaty hands and feet since birth.
