What kind of meds were you on and taken off of? How long were you on them? Were you given any pain meds for the pain? I know a lot of doctors will not give them to the Fibro patients.

Remember to try gentle stretching, heating pads biofreeze and hot baths help also.
It's hard to say. I know I am always in pain. Somedays it's just there and somedays it's torture.

Try not to overdo or get stressed.

Plaqunil I have been on it since December and no she didn't give me anything for it.

Plaqunil is typically used for severe RA. It is not a medication used for Fibromyalgia. The three primary medications used for Fibromyalgia (FMS) are: Cymbalta, Savella and Lyrica. So, I am pretty confused about what this doctor is doing. I also don't understand leaving you with no medication to treat your health issues.

You can try Epsom salt baths, heating pads, stick on heat pads, salon pas stick on patches and finding a new doctor. Good luck to you and take care.

I don't know I'm just rolling with it and this point. It's stressful and I don't understand anymore. I'm only 20 and it's stressing me out really bad.

My daughter has had fibro for 7 years, she is 21 now. You have to take it a step at a time, stressing about the future just makes the now worse. Some medications may cause side effects that are worse than the reason you are taking them, they may also mask other conditions or make them worse, meds can also interact with each other causing problems that way. Sometimes you need a break from meds for a few days to find out what you really need to be treating, this may be why she has taken you off them. You need to ask a lot of questions and insist on reasonable answers. She should be prepared to explain exactly what is going on and her reasoning in layman's terms. Just remember to take each day as it comes - don't let yourself worry about the 'what-ifs'. Assess what is happening and what you are feeling at the moment and deal with that. Fantod and MAgic have given you good advice on ways to help relieve the pain without meds, try them as you need to. Don't be afraid to phone a pharmacist or your doctor if you can't handle it, they won't know how you are feeling if you don't let them know. You are paying them to help you - so make them earn it.

Yeah it's just difficult

Tramadol? I find this med helps me and no long term use needed. GL!!

This is so difficult not being on anything I am in so much pain and need relief

i would call your doctor back and get clarification on this. What does the doctor recommend you do when you have pain. It also might be a good idea to find a new doctor who will treat the pain if you don't get the help you need. A good doctor who listens to you makes everything much better.

Do you have sleep problems? If so, improving your sleep may be helpful. Did your doctor suggest any other form of treatment for your pain? If you aren't being given the help you need, it may be time to seek out another doctor. Always ask before consulting a new doctor if they treat other patients with it and how they treat it.

I have been sleeping ok until the meds got taken away. I was given anything else for pain nor was I given ideas. Idk what to do
