Hi, my GP doesn't, but the pain clinic does. It has to be compounded since naltrexone does come in the very low doses needed for fibromyalgia. We have several compounding pharmacies where I can get it. It will cost about $30/month, unless I can get my insurance to cover some of it. My GP will...

You're doing so much by just supporting your friend and listening. A good friend is great tonic. Thanks for caring.

Krista, have you tried looking for a psychiatric nurse practitioner? I couldn't get an appointment with a shrink either, but found the NP to be available. If you feel like suicide is an option, please call 911. I've been there, don't give up. You can also call your local mental health or suicide...

I'm doing the capsule thing now. Dropping my dose in half was crazy. Still struggling, but looking forward to clearing this from my body. I'm never without a glass of water or my water bottle. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

If you start with an open mind, I believe you can manage it. It will likely take a while to find the best combination of meds, supplements, vitamins, and exercise to manage the symptoms. Some folks say they are pain free. I'm not, but it's manageable. Others struggle tremendously. Don't lose...

Stretching in the shower is great. My morning stretches are a take off from my cat. Arms, legs, hunching my back, laying on my back and stretching my entire body. I start with a gentle stretch and do more if my body says yes. As for yoga, look up restorative yoga. Great for stress and pain...
