    looking for some understanding

    Hi, I recently had to make a really hard decision. I was with my hubby for almost 7 years. My Fibro wasn't as bad in the beginning but progressively got worse. He had no patients was so ever. I think the biggest thing is they can't see anything is wrong. Even though I also have severe...

    Fibromyalgia Pain & Jobs

    Hi, I have found that for me- it has done marvelous things. I take way less breakthrough medication, I am not getting the sharp stabbing nerve pains any more. Those were getting really bad. I am left with muscle soreness and weakness. My joints are very stiff in the mornings, but I also have...

    concerns about tramadol. Seeking advice from long term users

    HI, I have been on it too for long time. I have been on 400mg of the 24hr release for over two years. And have the fast acting 100mg tablets if I have any breakthrough pain. It was the only pain medication that took away the pain but didn't make me loopy. I can say I need it every day to...

    Does anyone have problems with their hands

    I too have problems with my hands. The joints hurt really bad at times. They get stiff. I have had x-rays done, there is no significant arthritis there that should explain the pain. There are times I cannot move my fingers, they are so painful. It can last a couple of days then one day it is...

    Feel like my whole body is different

    HI to the new members. I love this place. It is the one place that I KNOW truly understands what I am going through. I was diagnosed in 2005 and I had to learn how to live Fb. It seems like slowly your body becomes weaker and weaker, you tire much easier. If I had the chance to re-do life when...

    Balancing work and fibromyalgia

    After reading the post currently here- I feel I have to toss in my life experience. (LOL) I was a nurse for 16yrs. In Sept 2005 I had to step away from nursing. I was not properly diagnosed at first, and it wasn't until I work up in a severe flare up that I was diagnosed. So for about 3 months...

    Does anyone take narcotic pain meds, and what do you think of them

    I am also a retired nurse (skiggi7- we should chat) and yes pain meds to work on fibro. The best balance I have so far gotten is by taking a 24hr release pain medication. That removes all the ups and downs- and it helps you not wait till the last minute until taking them. I put the narcotic...
