Thanks, but ya I've tried that. After a week of taking it, I would wake up very jumpy and not myself. Ever time my husband touched me, I jumped. It also made me nauseated in the morning. Anything otc makes me drowsy in the A.M. and ambien made me so drowsy, my husband could not wake me...

Thanks for replying. Yeah, I think that's the same as klonepin. I have used that a couple of Times and it worked great. Unfortunately the neurologist and rheumy I was sent to do not believe that those kinds of meds are beneficial. They obviously don't know. I wish they would listen more and...

All day, all I want to do is sleep. All night, I have no interest in sleeping because I don't want to have to get up in the morning. Could this be because no matter how long I lay in bed and sleep, I never feel better? I try to rest a lot on the weekends, but week days are full of time limits...

Hi guys I know some of u r on cymbalta and was wondering if u had difficulty w insurance or if u just pay out of pocket. My doc finally prescribed it last week, but had been denied coverage by insurance. So I paid for 1 week worth $50. And I felt great on it. NOTHING has made me feel so...

Yesterday my son said his tongue cramped up. Also he experienced the feeling of walking into a spider web when I highly doubt there was one. He is 9 now but had really bad allergies and asthma when he was a baby. That doesn't seem bad since he turned 4. Anyway, his complaints have grown...

Mine started as soon as my son was born via c-section 15 yrs ago. It was very traumatic due to the lack of care in that place. I was 21yrs old, the nurses were terrible and the doctor was worse! I was there for 5 days total. They tried inducing labor for 2 days, but did not take, then decided...

I just went in as a sick exam since I couldn't get rid of a productive cough. Not my regular. I need desperately to find the right doctor. I feel like I'm getting bits and pieces across, but not the whole picture. My frustration is that no one takes the time anymore. Its rush in and out...

The nurse called and reported that there was nothing on xray. I don't understand how they could first say there was evidence of pneumonia and something else unknown and now there is NOTHING?. Okay, I guess i'll quit worrying until I find a good doctor who can truly address my issues. Thanks to...

Thank u for your responses. I am feeling better and am taking the kids to a horse show and going out to lunch tomorrow while kids r at grandparents house. Sometimes just getting out your worries can make u feel better. Its in God's hands now. Thanks again!

Hi everybody. I've been dealing with FM for 15 yrs now. Not under control(although, after reading the posts here I don't think FM is ever really under control). Have not found good doctor and finances have been tight all these years. Anyway, you guys understand how I must be feeling. Add to...

My kids keep me going. If not for them, I would probably spend my days in bed. Not on any meds right now as I can't find a doctor that knows much about FMS.. Hope your baby feels better soon. Keep pushing. U can do it.

I have been dealing for 15yrs with FM, and would like nothing more to b pain free. Unfortunately those wonderful pain pills have too many side effects. I worry that my cognitive distinction (fibro fog) will be worse. the word addiction is an ugly word, but oooh to be pain free!

I was given gaba 15 yrs ago when I first flared up. Pain was all over really bad and continued to worsen even after a full month on it. Still no relief here. Still trying to find the right Dr.

What kind of surgery. I've never heard of surgery for FMS. I don't understand how there could be a surgery to fix this kind of thing? I've had FMS for 15 yrs. Never heard of such a thing. Are u sure?

Sorry ive been offline this week. Name of the book is "figuring out fibromyalgia" by Dr. Ginevra Liptan. It is the best information I have found to date. Its a shame that the best drugs to help us with sleep and pain r illegal. The abuse by dummies makes it hard for us honest hardworking...
