    Hospital ?

    Has anyone been to the hospital due to their fibromyalgia pain? This week has been horrible for me. I have been in so much pain (all over my whole body) from the neck down. I haven't even been able to shower in 5 days. Sleep has been sporadic. Now I'm getting really emotional (crying). My...

    Pain Medications

    Hello, My Dr. just put me on hydrocodone 10/325 mg three times a day. Helps greatly, but I'm still in "full body pain". It works great for about 2 hours, then wears off. I was previously prescribed gabapentin which did nothing at all for the pain, so he took me off that and put me on the...

    Doctor in Dallas area

    Thank you. I did talk with my doctor about my pain and he prescribed hydrocodone 10/325 mg. three times a day but he didn't seem very happy about it. I may have to switch doctors. I have constant, severe pain everyday. Thank you for your reply.

    Doctor in Dallas area

    Does anyone know of a good doctor in the Dallas/Plano/Allen/McKinney area? Pain management preferred, so I can get some relief. I'm having a hard time convincing my present doctor that I need pain pills (hydrocodone, etc) for my pain. He believes I only need gabapentin. I'm having side...

    Vacations

    Well, we are going on a cruise, so there is plenty of relaxing time on the ship. I guess I'll just have to skip the excursions that are too strenuous. I can make the best of it. Thanks for your replies.

    Dr. in DFW area

    Do any of you know a good pain management doctor in the DFW area (specifically McKinney, Plano, Allen would be great, but I'm willing to travel further into Dallas)? My doctor has been great until recently. He has been weaning me off of my hydrocodone that I have been on for a bulging disc in...

    Gabapentin

    I started Gabapentin 300mg 3 / times a day, then my Dr. increased it to 600mg 3 / times a day. Then he increased it to 800mg 3 / times a day. I was totally fine, with no side effects at all until the 800mg 3 / times a day. On the 800mg 3 / times a day, I have been really shaky and jittery...
