Yes!!!! I received a Fibro diagnosis and a few months later have been eaking up to significant finger and toe pain and knees too! AND also perfect bloodwork! Fortunately I have an appointment with a Rheumatologist in early March Even Suboxone doesn't help the pain. I hope you get answers but I...

A Rheumatologist should see you to give a definitive diagnosis. Ask for a referral to a physiatrist to help with you pain too. I’m sorry for your struggles.

Thank you for your response...I’m reading it a bit late, but it’s interesting that someone else suggested that I try taking it early as well. I do use a heating pad, and I’ve tried Voltaren cream, and an essential oil blend for muscles from Saje. I appreciate your ideas!

Booked in to see Rheumatologist...March 2021! But at least I'll see one now!

Thank you for your feedback. Mu hubby wondered about the medication as well. My doctor sent me for another blood test this morning-calcium mag and something about arthritis. I see him tomorrow. I really dont feel like Gabapentin has done much. I'm.on 900 mg a day. The pain is so bad some days...

I was diagnosed with Fibro in September and in the past month, I've been waking up with excruciating hand/fingers and feet pain, making it difficult to walk. It slowly dissipates throughout the morning sits below the surface of my skin. I'm on Gabapentin, Cymbalta and Suboxone to help with the...

Hi there, I'm taking Cymbalta too and had the same trouble, but only at first...it should get better for you. Try taking it before bed and give it a bit of time before giving up on it. If it doesn't improve, then talk to your GP. Hope you feel better soon!

I am so sorry to hear you were ill with COVID-19 and hope you are ok now. Fibromyalgia is bad enough, but the having a virus as welL. Take good care.

Definitely look at how you can find another doctor and go with symptom tracker (dates included) of symptoms you're experiencing and any pain (on scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst you've ever felt). Once all related bloodwork is done (and if it comes back as normal), it will help with diagnosis...

I had a follow-up with my doctor as I've not not been able to get any pain relief since starting the Cymbalta, along with Gabapentin and Naltrexone. The pain has been so severe, I've been unable to sleep - it's been unbearable. My doctor prescribed Suboxone, which is normally used to treat...

I was recently diagnosed with fibro as well and having been on Gabapentin with not much success, my doctor added Cymbalta. Literally within a few days I was in better shape (for a couple of weeks), but since then I have reverted back to being in flare-up mode. But if my first couple weeks were...

Thank you for your kind suggestion. I will check them out!

I've recently been diagnosed and I'm finding a theme with pain being worse at night. Does anyone else find this as well? I primarily have pain in my shoulders, arms sometimes hands and wrists, shoulder blades and have had some pain on the top/front part of my legs. The worst part is my...

Thank you! I am interested to hear you're making out with the TMJ and what recommendations you have received. I done know alot about it yet, or if I do in fact have it. I haven't been to the specialist yet but that will be next. Thank you for the tips!
