You're not alone in your pain. Fibromyalgia is a condition that can be difficult to diagnose and manage. If you're trying to cope with pain throughout your body, sleep problems, general fatigue, or other common fibromyalgia symptoms, you're in the right place. The community is here for you to talk about therapies and share your challenges.
I am new to this group and diagnosis. Could anyone recommend how to deal with/ treat a burning and tingling sensation deep in my muscles? My legs and back just hurt and ache and burn till I can't think past them. Sometimes I think I'm going to loose my mind with it! I just started Cymbalta and bentyl 1.5 weeks ago...does the Cymbalta help this? Any idea how long until I notice a difference?
bentyl is a muscle relaxant/anti-spasmodic which can also help. i think in the meantime you might need pain relief meds - many people take acetaminophen, naproxen, ultram or tramadol. others take something stronger but that depends on how up to date your dr is with pain management meds.
getting a diagnosis of fibro is scary, please ask us any questions you like and be as involved as you feel able. we have lots of different experiences and ideas. good luck!
