I have beern seeing a neurologist for several years for FM. Although he seems to believe there is such a"disease", he hasn't been able to find the "MAGIC PILL" for me. I've tried Lyrica, Cymbalta and tramadol. The side effects were toooo much. I know medicines effect us all differently, but I just wanted to know if anyone has had relief from depression, pain and extreme weakness. I'm seeing a new doctor on Thursday and hope he can help me. I have been in a flare up now for several months and am really desperate. Thank you.
Sometimes I wonder..why do so many people have this? What is fibro and why can't they figure it out?
I know how you feel and I am looking for something to help all those things too. I do have vicoden and if I take one it helps for awhile, but I know that is not a long term solution...I only do it if I hurt really really bad....but it's too bad there isn't something like vicoden that woud be safe to take that would help. And I'm not saying this to promote narcotics...just being honest that it was one thing that did address all those issues depression/fatigue/pain.
I wonder what it is about it that helps and why other pills don't help and what wouuld be a good long-term solution to find help/relief since vicoden is not something doctors suggest taking daily.
Thanks for you post...i wish you the best.
sincerely,
